Any March Banders out there



Recommended Posts

I am supposed to be banded anytime from March 21 to March 28, so I guess I am an unofficial March bandster until I get a solid date on March 11. And I will be oh so happy to post my official date upon my return from the surgeon's office. I hear a lot of people out there saying they're scared, which is TOTALLY understandable. But for some reason, I feel like jumping on my surgeon's exam table and screaming "CUT ME, DOC, I'M READY!!!!" I guess it helps that I've already had a gallbladder removal and a C-section, so I know kind of what to expect.

I am on March 19th, too! I am going to Dr. Ortiz in Tiajuana, and I cannot wait. I have no second thoughts and no doubts. I have had the "This will probably be the last time I can eat this" blues, but they are little and healthy is big.

I cannot wait! Or, is that "weight?"

      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.
