waiting for life to start



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am from Australia and hoping to be banded in March. I have been waiting for the past year to be eligible for cover from my health insurer. The time is getting closer and I am so excited, I feel like my life will begin once my surgery has happened. I realize that its not all going to be easy but the way I feel about myself right now things can only improve.

Your life has already started and you are entering a new chapter/phase of it.

My life is the same as it was a year ago...but I don't have meds or feel yucky in my skin....but my life is still the same.

Good luck.

Hi Nat, I imagine that my band date will also be in March unless I hear something soon from my ins. company. I wish you luck. I decided that I can handle anything that comes my way. Have handled so much with what comes with being overweight...it can only get better!

      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.
