Waiting for my date to arrive - May 7th



Recommended Posts

I had a lapband placed in March of '09, complete unfill November of '12 and then removed in February of '13. Now waiting to have sleeve surgery on May 7th. I start my 2 week liquid only diet later this month. As the date gets closer I am excited and nervous at the same time. I have regained 30 pounds since having the complete unfill in November of '12. Now starting to have blood pressure issues again due to weight gain (was on meds prior due to weight) and I feel sluggish. I just want to feel full of energy and motivated again!

I am right behind you on May 11th to get my band out and revise to the sleeve! I am anxious and excited. It's been way too long with this band. I had my band unfilled 3 weeks ago. It's been a struggle not to gain in the meantime, but I wanted to heal as much as I can with my band still in to make surgery as easy as possible!!

      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.
