Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I feel like I'm losing my mind!! I am done with week one of my liquid diet and did ok except for my cheese incident and now I have 7 days til banding.

Just 7 days and I am seriously not getting any work done because all I can think about is how I'm probly not going to enjoy bread again and I just want a bagel!!

Did anyone else feel like the week before was harder?

Am i just being a quak?

I din't have to do any preop diet so luckily I didn't have that hurdle. It will get better, trust me. Once your banded and have a good fill food will not be a problem. I can eat bread and I've had 3 fills, I just don't eat it very, very seldom. It's just not an issue anymore. Good luck on your upcoming surgery and I will be thinking about you and hoping for you an uneventful surgery and a rapid recovery.

If you can control yourself with just one I say do it. Many doctors don't require the pre-op diet, mine wanted a low-fat diet with Myocel added to it.

They do this to make sure your liver is in prime shape as they have to move it out of the way.

Best wishes on your surgery.

Thanks for the reassurance!

It was weird. I got up this morniong and hopped on the scale and the need for the bagel went away! It's finally all clicked that I am just 6 days away.

If that mood strikes again, get a bagel chip. They will go down better later and the crunchy satisfies lots of cravings. I don't really like bread but I make croutons alot and then when I have a bread thing, I just have 1-2 croutons. 1-2, not 1-2 cups like I did before bandland. Celeste

      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.
