My countdown to the 20th!!



Recommended Posts

Well, the time has come. I am almost 1 week away from my surgery date. I think I am more excited than scared right now but I know that will change the day of. Gladly my surgery is at 7am, so I wont have alot of time to think about it, just wake up (if I sleep at all!) and go to the hospital.

I have been fat my entire life and I am ready for the new journey I will be on after I get my band!!!

Congrats on your date. I'm already to begin to get nervous for my september date, I was even considering not going through with it but I just think about how anxious and excited I was to have the surgery and that seems to calm me down. Good luck and let us know how your doing.

I finally got a surgery date- Sept. 25. I am so excited. When I think about it, I get a little scared, but then I think about how awesome life will be when I am finally un-fat!! I've always been chubby/overweight/fat (depending who ya ask), but I am so ready for that to change!! So maybe us September bandsters can help each other out, calm each others' nerves. Well, that's all for now. Good luck to the rest of you!!

      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.
