Band to be inserted 20/09/06



Recommended Posts

20/09/06 is D-day for me. I am glad as I think the waiting and wondering about if I will make it, am I going to be permamently disabled, am I going to be permamently in pain, am I going to permamently regret it and so on. In fact I am keeping myself busy so I do not have to think about the children growing up with out me!

Gosh i am cheerful aren't I.

I should not have got myself into this mess in the first place - it is all self inflicted. I have found the pre op diet very difficult to follow and hate to say I have cheated by eating the odd mouthfuls of proper food. How can anyone live on milk and yoghurt for days?

Roll on Soups, brroths and slimfast. Even if I do have to Water them down to drink through a straw.

Oh, well. Here goes. Wish me luck and hopefully by this time it will be tomorrow it will be all over and I will wake up finding everything has gone according to plan and that I will have no side effect. I can hope.

Wishing luck to all other bandsters out there particularly anyone getting done this week

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
