Recommended Posts

I will be banded on 3rd January 08. I attempted to do it in November, but due to complications the surgery had to be stopped and now I'm a member of the New Year Knockouts.

Share your journey with me if you too will be banded on 3rd January. What are you doing to prepare? How do you feel...nervous, anxious..?

Join me if you're a January 3rdster...

Hello,

I will be banded Jan 3rd also. I have been on a two week liquid diet. Mostly Protein drinks- 3or 4 a day, Jello, broth, flavored Water, sherbert and popsickles. Then on Wens I am clear liquid "no protein drinks". and of course nothing after midnight before surgery. I have to be there at 6am and I am the first band of the day! I am being done at a surgery center, so i will be coming home that afternoon. I have checked off my list and have everything ready. All I have left is to make sure laundry is done, stop by the store and get some more broth.

Best of luck to you. let me know how you are doing...

Other Jan 3rd Banders? would love to hear from you also.

Hello...........I am the 3rd also. I am soooo tired of thinking about this I am ready to be done and moving on, lol. I have been doing the liquid Protein and have lost about 7 -8 lbs so far. Doc wants 10 lbs so we'll see what happens by Thursday. I got my scripts filled today and have purchased all the various other things suggested.

Good luck to the other "3rd" bandsters!!

Getting banded on Jan 3rd as well, I am bit anxious about it all now, wasn't before more worried about keeping it quite and really hoping that my recovery isn't long or complicated. To easy matters, I have decided and began to put myself on a meal plan for the last three days, its quite quite hard! lol I don't know how all of you do it, yesterday was impossible cheated had about 5 morsels of rice..I counted lol, today went much better cheated with a tiny strip of chicken about the quarter of your pinky finger. I am amazed that now with this motivation I am capable of cheating so little and not going overboard. So tomorrow is the last day, havent had time to prepare myself in terms of shopping too many guests and things to do. But will go tomorrow. My appoitment is in the morning and should be out in the afternoon.

I haven't weight myself so my weight loss is a guess. I lost weight enough for people to comment..so I don't know if that is everyone being nice. My family are a great bunch of people. But they would find it very difficult to understand the necessity of spending so much to be skinny, as we never speak of the difference in income between members of the family, this would make matters a bit uncomfortable with everyone thinking we have money to blow when really I feel like a total shit head for burdening my parents and I am already planning on paying them back. So now that is added pressure to be skinny and get that million dollar job! lol

Good luck everyone else and please do update us on how your recovery is

      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.
