18 Days Till I Get My Band!!!



Recommended Posts

Yeah, Jamie! Did the surgeon just put a zipper at your incision sites so he could get in easier? LOL
Marie~HAHAHA!!!! That would have been a good idea!!! About the time I get those suckers healed they gotta cut me again!!! As long as I get my band with the new incisions, thats just fine with me!!!!

Battle Scars are good in this case!!!! I'm gonna get my band!!! YIPPEE!!!

Hi Jamie and Vinesqueen,

I'm also March 18? When do you start your pre-op diet. My doctor said 5 days before, but I am starting today. I have eaten everything I want, and now I'm done. I'm so tired of feeling sluggish.

Ladies, which Protein drinks are you going to use, once you get to stage III? My nutritionist recommended Real Meals...

Just think we can all support each other. Wish both of you luck!

Corgi~ I have been dieting really hard since January. My Dr. only will have me on Clear liquids 1 day before surgery. I wll then be on liquids for two weeks after.

I've been drinking the Advant Edge Protein Drinks and they are really good. 16 grams of Protein in them.

Glad to have you guys by my side leading the way! GOOD LUCK

This is so wonderful that you all can go through this together! Afterwards, being able to compare this and that w/each other will be so helpful. Congratulations to each and every one of you!!

I'm not on a pre-op diet. I probably should but, but I'm not on one. I will still be in exile until Friday... I also don't have to be on clear liquid, he's changed that requirement too. Just liquids...

But I picked up some Protein drinks to try, Natural Balance 230 calories and 15 G Protein.< /p>

Nightingale ~ The Protein Drink I'm using aren't the same as the Adkins Advantage. These I have are EAS - Advant Edge. They say carb control on them and they have 15 grams of Protein /100calories/ 3 fat grams/ 4 carbs/ 0 sugar(They are sweetened with Splenda).Also they are packed with lots of Vitamins.I will check out that Unjury site. I bet those are as good as you say. I just wanted to tell you the ones I've been using are different from Advantage! I thanks for the suggestion keep em coming!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
