Getting banded tomorrow morning!



Recommended Posts

No way! We are band twins! I'm doing great. A bit of a dry throat...and a small bit of pain in my mid-section. But otherwise I'm shocked at how well I'm doing. Everything went so amazingly well. Dr. Michaelson is just fantastic. Couldn't have been happier - and I got a nice new pair of blue socks! :shades_smile: How are you feeling?

Definitely know what you mean, my banded twin! But I'm really just so excited. I am nervous about the fact that the band won't stop me from eating things like ice cream, chocolate, Cookies, cheesecake, etc. But - that's a decision I need to make and I knew we just made the major decision to get the band so decision to turn down foods that we know are not going to help us will just be part of the journey. I've lost weight before - 70 lbs last year - then gained back 90. It's not fun. In fact, it's just plain rotten. But now is the time to take control of our lives and know that we have support, a tool, and the motivation to do it. Won't be easy, but definitely will be worth it. :thumbup:

Me too. I'm getting banded at 6:30am in New York. I'm not worried about the surgery but...the rest of my life, do you know what I mean?

      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.
