December 4th- A new me!



Recommended Posts

I am sooo excited. I will be banded on December 4th. After a long struggle with my insurance company and a lot of highs and lows during this process the day will be here soon. I am very excited to be part of the December bansters!!:D

I am also December 4th. Was SUPPOSED to be today, but my surgeon had to reschedule. I went through this ordeal Sunday night of not being able to sleep, having what I thought was my last diet coke, and worrying about preop bloodwork the next day. Now I'll have to go through the whole ordeal again, THIS Sunday night!

My surgery is also on the 4th. I have been on the pre op diet of Optifast for a week and lost 12lbs so far on that(well since Tuesday)... My best friend had her surgery on nov 27th and I was at the hospital with her, so I got to see a little of what I can expect... only 2 more days and I cannot wait! :biggrin1:

yes, we ALL have something to look forward to this week, I know I'M READY. Ready for the new me! (or the OLD me that's been hidden under all this weight!) I am ready to go into the store and see a dress I like and be able to get in it and look good in it. Ready to lay down at night and not wake up with my back hurting and be able to walk up or down the stairs and not have to take one step at a time so my knees won't hurt.

      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.
