Now an October bandster!



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for 9/25 but at my pre-op today found out it had been postponed. The doctor will be out of town due to a family matter next week. I cried when they told me. The doc put his arm around me and told me not to worry, that it will get done. I was already nervous and second-guessing my every decision. This was NOT what I needed!

I started thinking "What if this is a sign that I'm not meant to do this?!" Even though I know it's what I'm supposed to do.

It stinks having to wait longer but at least it's only a week.

Think of it as a little extra time to get your body ready.

I will be here before you know it.

I'm sorry you have to wait an extra week. That really stinks! Patience is NOT one of my virtues, so I truly do feel your pain. But it will happen and in the long run, that one week won't make any difference when you look at the rest of your new life. I believe there is a reason for everything, so hang in there. We'll be there anytime you need us!! Here's a group hug just for 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.
