Hello All Bandsters ,

I am getting banded Sept 25th in Tijuana MX with Dr Gonzalez ! I am soo excited but kind of worried at the same time -- I'm worried that I wont be able to keep with the diets == And I'm worried what my body is going to look like when I do lose the weight !!

Stacy73 I am also getting banded on sept. 5th. I cant wait!!! I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and boy is it a struggle. I cheated a little bit last night but i felt so guilty that i am back on track for the next 9 days. How are you feeling? Do you have to do the pre-op diet too?

Congrats! I am excited as well, I know it will be a good thing! I am also worried as well about having to have "reconstructive surgery" after I lose all the weight, :nervous It started stressing me so I just have to realize that if I have to do something later than I'll have to, but anything is better than being overweight! At least you can hide stretched out skin! :) Good luck!~

Hi All,

I’ve been checking in on you regularly, but haven’t posted for fear of jinxing myself. I’ve been working on getting a September date. I’m almost through all of the hoops. My doctor’s office is also working to make it happen by the end of September. Hopefully this time next month, I’ll be banded.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.

I am 9 days into the liquid diet and my surgery is Tuesday the 4th. I am doing welll, after the first 3 days it gets easier. You can only eat so many no sugar added popsicles. I had my post op today with the doctor, fast no problems. Then went to register at the hospital & that tooks a couple hours, drawing blood, had an EKG & a chest x-ray. I have to be there 7:30 tuesday morning & will be banded at 9:30 AM.

I will let you know how things went on wednesday. Anyone out there 3 or 4 days out of being banded, let me know what to expect.

Thanks

P:clap2:

      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.
