Wow, eight more days to go before being banded. Feeling nervous and excited at the same time. This site is wonderful!:smile:

Coolness! Congrats! 8 days to go!!! Wow! How's the pre-op diet going?

HI everyone, I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. K on the 24th of September. I am unbelievably excited!

Welcome Cassy! You've come to a great place for support, friendship and FUN!

:confused: Figures it is something boring and medical. hehehe.

Did I miss this? What is the B4L???

:confused:

I knew what you were thinking, you naughty girl! I actually hated typing it because I knew someone would say something!

About the B4L, I mentioned that I wanted to start it after I finished my Vegan Detox and Lifesaver said she has done it and would be more than happy to help anyone who wants to do it. So some of us are going to do it - on the 17th. Are you interested? Join us!!! We're going to do it for 12 weeks. :thumbup:

So a couple weeks ago I had an in home sleep study done, mostly because my DH had been bugging me to get checked out. He was worried because apparently I don't breathe too well when I sleep. So I wear this contraption all night so it can measure the levels of oxygen and my heart rate, how much I breathe etc. I figured the results would get back to my PCP and that would be the end because nothing was wrong.

But I got a call from my PCP this week informing me that I have sleep apnea related hypoxia (not getting enough oxygen when I sleep), so now they are making an appointment with a pulmonologist for me. I admit that now I am getting a little worried. Dang DH was right!! Now he is more worried than ever and is constantly waking up to check on me.

Though now this does explain why I am always feeling exhausted. Even with my usual 7-9 hours of sleep. Sometimes I even take naps. I wonder if when I get this taken care of if I will start to lose faster? Any of you ladies have this condition too?

I don't have this condition, but a friend of mine has it and she said she felt like a completely new person, once she started.

When you're typing a message, you can click on the little icon up above your message that is a paperclip. Then click "browse" in the message box that pops up and find your pic on your computer and upload it. Then you have to click upload again to get it into your message. Hope I explained that right.

      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.
