I auditioned for the band today!



Recommended Posts

And I made the cut!

My surgery date is 9/19. I met with the nurse and psychologist today, and got my date. I meet the surgeon tomorrow and if he decides I need to have a sleep study, my surgery is set out far enough so that I can get it done well beforehand.

I'm going to rein my thoughts in from the ethers and try to get my personal lapband journey memorialized now.

I am completely spent. Exhausted, elated, euphoric and any other happy "e-word" that comes to mind.

Many blessings, band members--

Excited. Yes! That's a great e-word. I'm not sure that I've been very active in the Washington thread. Is this a challenge? :)

Yay! I'm so happy for you! And you're clever, I really enjoy reading your posts, by the way. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I kinda post-stalk you :)

My goal is to amuse! We're on one hellofa journey and a little humor can go a long way.

I have had more than one person tell me I should do stand up comedy. Maybe I can work out a whole routine about being banded, huh?

I'm already toying with a romance novel idea that involves a woman and her lapband. Yeah...I know...I'm nuts. But, hey! I passed the psych eval today! :whoo:

WHOOOT!

      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.
