Recommended Posts

Well.

I started out as January 2nd, then was moved to January 14th. Now, moved to January 16th.

Hopefully this is the last move!!

A little nervous, but DH seems to think it is no big deal.

Good luck thistledo and saleel22.

I am going out today to stock up on everything I will need for the next week or two. Nervous shopping I think.

I will look forward to hearing how it goes for you both. I am excited to get this going. Although the liquid diet and hasn;t bothered me that much.

Hello,

My Doctor is Dr Nunn and My surgery is for 1/16/08. Forget nervous, I am flat out scared because this is my second surgery date and I have other concerns just about how business is handled in this office!

Sorry I couldn't wish you guys luck any sooner, I had my day yesterday. Hope you are all comfortable and your surgery goes/went well (sorry, I just can't figure out the time difference!)

12 hours and counting! I've been alot more anxious today than I expected. Hoping I'll be able to sleep.

Good luck to us all. Will be anxious to hear other reports.

With HIS Help,

Same goes to you too, as I told SMR100, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you on your big special day!

(Sorry, if I missed anyone, still learning how to get through the threads! )

Also, this is off subject but could anyone add me to their buddy list on AIM, or even send me a private message and explain to me how to do the quote, min-quote, and quick reply thingy? I feel like there must be an easier way to make sure I am responding to the right person, but I can't figure it out exactly. LOL.

So, to all of you 16th bandsters, good luck!!!

~M~

thistledo and saleel22,

Good luck to you both on the 16th, there will be several people thinking of you guys! Wow, I am so excited for everyone, we have like 5-6 people (at last count) going to get banded on the 16th! You guys have your own cheering squad over here!! LOL. I

I really am so thankful for this site, it really convinced me that this is what I need, and even though it sounds like it may be tough for a little while, I can't help but to think that it is just temporary. I mean many of us have struggled with this battle for years. Just think when we all start losing, how different we will feel. It is going to make such a difference in our lives. It will add years, and memories! I am so excited for you guys (if you can't tell)! LOL.

I wish I knew about this years ago, so I could have already saved up the money since I am self-pay and now I could just go get it done!!!

Blessings to all!!!! Can't wait to hear from everyone!

I know some of you may not feel like sharing yet, but would you guys tell me what waking up out of surgery was like, how long you were there, if you stayed overnight, etc.? I am curious. Thanks, I hope all you recent bandsters are feeling 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.
