Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

i dont know if I am doing this right or not. I am a bit challenged when it comes to message boards!

I am being banded day after tomorrow Janaury 14th. i would love to have a buddy to share things with! This site is great. Once i figure it out I'll probably never get off the computer (LOL)!

I'm going to try and make me one of those ticker things now.

Can you tell I can't sleep? It's 4am and I am nervous/excited/anxious,etc. :smile:

grateful for a 2nd chance to start living life again!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi Lola,

I'm being banded on 15th. Happy to be a buddy if you are interested. I'm in Australia. I am 32 and have about 40 kilos/88pounds to lose. I'm excited, but getting a little nervous.

Good luck tomorrow,

Jen

Hey Lori,

I too am being banded on Monday the 14th, and I know what you mean by being nervous. Saturday night I woke up at 4:30 and could not go back to sleep. My surgery is at 7am so that is good, I won't have a lot of time to think about it.

Good Luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes!

      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.
