Getting banded tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Well, the day that seemed so far has finally come. Have to be at the surgicenter at noon and procedure is at 1:30. Please send up prayers and good luck wishes for me. I have all of my essentials ready and have decided that I will have a good post-surgery experience with minimal to no pain. Everyone here has given so much encouragement and information that I really feel more prepared than when I first started researching. Thank you all so much! I'll check in once I get home ????

Hi you guys! I'm wonderful! I came back to work yesterday and did just fine. I pushed a little too far by getting to work at 5 am and not getting home until 9:30 pm and I definitely felt it. I changed my clothes, took some pain medicine and went right to sleep. Today I almost feel back to normal. I'll be 7 days post-op tomorrow. Thanks for checking on me ????

      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.
