Recommended Posts

I have 13 days to go and I can't wait.

I m not looking forward to the pain afterwards, but I am sure in the end it will be worth it.

Can't wait

There's not much pain afterwards, more like a little discomfort. It is well worth it believe me.

Luscious I was originally scheduled for banding on 7 April too; that date was set back at the start of Feb. I thought I would die waiting that long! I was lucky enough for the nurse to realise how 'desperately' I wanted it, she called me and bought the date forward to 22/2! April 10 is my first fill day so I will be thinking of you recovering!

Mojo are you doing Opitfast? If so have you started yet?

Good luck ladies/lads. :lol:

HI Luscious

No I am not on Optifast, over here we do ot do that for some reason. Maybe as I am only 35 kg over weight I am not sure if I should have done it or not.

I was not told to,

Here in Aus we do othave t wait long before e go for the op, I could have gone 2 weeks after my first consult. But had to wait until my husband booked the time off.

Peek's right. It's more uncomfortable than painful (well, it was for me anyway!)

Best wishes for your surgery!

HI Chickie, thanks for the support,

You look amazing, I showed my husband your before and after pics, and he was so amazed at the difference.

I hope I get my head around all this. And have just as much sucess as you have.:biggrin2: :thumbup: :crying:

Hi Mojo, to add to the chorus its not really painful at all. My sister wanted to see how I coped before considering it for herself I called her today and told her to not waste any more time thinking and book it, for every day thinking is a day you are not losing weight and reaching your goal.

HI Nat and all others giving me support.

I can't wait until next Monday its all down hill from now.

My starting weight is 94kg, I want to get down to 60 kg, I went out for my final big meal yesterday with my husbnad and kids, as he does FIFO, I wont see him again now until the day after the op when he picks me up.

I know I will be nervous and restless on Sunday night.

Any suggestion on what to wear when I go home, Im thinking of loose fitting clothing???

      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.
