One More Sleep



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone.

First of all I want to say thanks for all your support and encouragement over the last few weeks as I've been awaiting surgery.

I am to be banded tomorrow at 1;20 by doctor C. I am feeling extremely cranky, which I am thinking may be misplaced anxiety. I am freaking out a little that I can have nothing by mouth from midnight until after the surgery tomorrow, NOTHING not even Water.

Help, how do I get through the next bunch of hours without too much crankiness. I am so cranky I am even annoying myself!!

Drink a hot cup of tea and go to bed - with luck you will fall asleep and wake in 6 - 8 hours ready to tackle the world. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Hey Michelle,

I hope to see you there today. I am way too excited to be cranky. Although I too can't wait until the surgery is over.

Good luck today, I will be thinking of you! I am just getting ready to head off to the clinic now.

Welcome to the banded side. Get lots of rest. Walking around the house will help with the gas. We're thinking about 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.
