JUNE 18th...LAST SUPPER...Off to Bandersville



Recommended Posts

YEA, YEA, YEA GLORY TO GOD!!!! I received a call saying that my insurance approved lap band surgery. God really confirmed that this is right for me. I asked him to have the surgery on June 17th (not realizing that this was a Sunday). The doctor's officed said that June 18th is available....Isn't God good? I'm a teacher and He worked it so that I will be on summer vacation--no days missed from school!!!!

There's only 1 down side--and it's really not that bad: I live in Dallas, and I insurace said that I have to go to Decater (1 and half hour drive) for surgery!! But, I'd drive 2 days to have the band if necessary!!!

I'm inviting my "LAST SUPPER"---where did you eat?

I'll be a member of the June Banster's soon......

Congratulations on your date!! I am day 4 since banding so just starting to feel better. One of my last meals was a burger with all the fixings but I was also on my pre-op diet so I did it a couple of weeks before surgery.

Good Luck!

Welcome BigBaby :wave:

It's great that you don't have to take off any days for surgery! God IS good!

I'm being banded on June 1st and just started my liquid pre-op diet today. My "Last Supper" of sorts, was at The Prime Quarter where I had the yummiest terriyaki steak! Did that last Tuesday. Funny thing, last night, I thought I would kind of "panic" and want to shove every thing in my mouth that I could find. BUT, that wasn't the case at all! I was too excited about surgery being so close and the pre-op diet was like the starting gate!

Well, come join us over in the "June 2007" thread!

I am ashamed to say I must have had like 10 last suppers. For about 2 weeks before banding I went and ate a huge plate at like every one of my favorite resturants.

Aww thanks!!!! I have been working my butt off for this weight. Exercise is key. I don't care what anyone else says you have to do something everyday. I hated so much when I started and now I am starting to love it.

      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.
