Very excited about being banded on 3/19



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I am Denise and very excited to say that I finally got approved and will be banded in 10 days. My mom and aunt are both banded and lost weight very quickly about 20lbs a month. I just hope I got their genes. Well just wanted to introduce myself because I will be on here a lot.

Welcome to the group. I'm having my surgery the same day as you. We should keep in touch. I'm on a liquid diet(my doc requires 2 weeks of liquids before the procedure). How's it going? I'm just a little nervous. More excited than anything. Wish the 19th would just get here already!!!!:sneaky:

Hi MsHansy:

I know what you mean. I am a week behind in band date, but I am still very excited. This website it my new addiction. (j/k)

Come on over to the support group section and hit the March, 2008 link. There are quite a few of us on that board all going through similar things. Everyone is real friendly and open about answering questions.

Welcome the March bandsters club!

      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.
