minor set back



Recommended Posts

I was suppose to be banded on Dec 22 2007. but my insurance is giving me a little bit of problem, it is requesting a pcp statement, come to find out that he has retired, I am going to be seeing the doctor that took over his patients. i hope he does not give me any problems. My other set back is that i have been so stress with the holidays and the upcomming surgey that i decided to take a breather and have my surgery reschudule to January 12 2007. That way everybody in my family and myself do not worrying about the outcome of my surgery 3 days before christmas, I will be able to spend christmas with them all. please pray that all goes well.:welldone2:

Justine717, I'll be banded in January too - about 6 days after you. I chose January because I will have $$$ on my payflex medical spending card and it will not be a financial burdon on my DH & I if I wait until January, also the holidays are hard enough so I decided to wait until after the holidays.

Now, I'm so anxious, I wish it was tomorrow. But, I know it will be here before I know it.

I wish you well with everything and I am sure it will be okay.

      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.
