Band Day Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I will join the LOSER club. I am getting nervous and excited at the same time. I am looking forward to my new life! I am taking several before shots and once I am banded, I will do after shots later.:)

Well I am officially a BANDSTER. The procedure wasn't not bad at all. I am quite sore, but really haven't have an appetite yet. I ate four teaspoons of SF Jello and stuffed like a Thanksgiving Turkey. The key is to continue to walk and keep your lungs free by using the inspirametor.:)

I usually lie on my back because of the C-PAP machine. After surgery I really didn't have the appetite to each much; for example I ate 3 teaspoon of Jello and I was full. The best thing is walking!

That's sounds great--to be a support for each other. Yes I was excited and nervous, but I had God on my side, and with Him everything is possible. Good Luck on your surgery.

      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.
