I am having surgery tomorrow oct 2nd and am ready for this. Thankfully I am not nervous but just excited to get this done and over with. The prayer request that I do have is for my parents. I pray they aren't too nervous waiting while i'm in surgery...I know that waiting can be tough.

Lord, I pray for all of us Oct. bandsters. I am praying for a surgery without complications. I pray each of us have a calmness and peace before surgery and feel your presence with us...knowing you Lord know all things and are with us at all times. Also Lord i pray each of us are receptive to this new change in our life and have a successful journey with it. In all things, we believe and trust in you. In your precious and hold name amen.

Love and Blessing to us all!

Thank you so much for your words! I am being banded tomorrow also and as excited as I am there is also nervousness as well. That's why I'm up surfing when I should be asleep!

As I was reading the posts for people being banded this first couple of days I found myself getting so nervous for us all. I am not banded until next week, but it seems so close. Surgery is scary... But after reading the prayer- I had a little boo-hoo and feel better. Bless you all- we will be great.

amen, yes God is with each and every one of us. He will hold us in his arms and keep us safe if we let him. I know God will be with me tomorrow Oct 3 as I go to surgery, just as he is with me everyday and night. God is my savior. Amen

Amen, and AMEN! The Lord desires a full and healthy life for us, and He will bless each and every one as we walk in faith towards His desire for us. When you get scared or weary - take a moment of stillness and let Him comfort you. In ALL things praise His name. Thank you Lord!

      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.
