DUM!!!....

SO! Hopefully tomorrow will be my big day, I was originally scheduled a week ago and got booted cuz the hospital was in "Crisis Mode"

(I'm in AZ and lot's of snowbirds here sucking up our resources! haha.. j/k birdies)

AND My Dr's wife is about to have her baby anyday.. so I might get cancelled AGAIN!! I'm hoping that all the people that were sick taking up my bed last week are well.. AND that my Dr's wife had her baby already!!

So Wish me luck and say prayers for me PLEASE and Thank you! :cursing:

Hi Maya314, I just got banded on Tuesday, 2/19. Who's your doc? Mine is Dr Blackstone with the Scottsdale Bariatric Center. She's great.

Hi! Glad to hear all went well for you. I know what you mean about the snowbirds. Sorry Snowbird...I don't mean you. I hope you continue to do well. I just got my PCP to refer me to a surgeon. Now the fun begins after I meet with the surgeon. All the pre op stuff you know what I mean.

Been OK since tues, with a little gas pain-boy, did my 1st "food"taste awesome this morning!!-a few Tbls of thin grits & marg..Though I'd never hear myself say that..

Good luck & keep in touch..

MaYa314 You sounds as excited as I feel. I'm scheduled for surgery 02/29. Can't wait! You know.... I've read alot about people on Pre-Op diets but my doctor doesn't make his patients do a pre-op diet. Just Clear Liquids 1 day before surgery. I guess I got lucky. :blush::smile2:

      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.
