Another newbee! Scheduled 1/17



Recommended Posts

Hello, friends!

I'm excited about this message board and happy to find another group of people who will be going through the process at the same time I do. I'm scheduled for January 17th, and can hardly wait!

Now, the job is to lose a quick 9 pounds before my pre-op appt on January 11th! I just threw all of the "Christmas Carbs" in the trash, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi everyone~

my surgery date is 1/17/08

I'd like to add the ticker to my signature but haven't been able to figure it out. The last time I tried it showed up as a long code....when clicked on, my ticker was there. How do I make it appear with each post?

Thanks to anyone who has mastered this little bugger!!:help:

Hello fellow January Bandsters:clap2:

I am scheduled for surgery on January 14th. I had my consultation on the 28th and have been going non stop trying to get all of the appointments in. I got my surgery time today 7am...that means I have to be there at 5 am! I think now it is finally hitting me and I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Good Luck to all of you!

Laurieloo I'm being banded on Jan 17th as well. No pre op diet required but I have decided to do one of my own. I'm excited but also getting more anxious everyday! How are you feeling?

      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.
