hi all

boy am i nervous and scared. i am going to mexico an thursday and banded on friday. any last minute advise.i had to do the Liquid Protein diet before my surgery i was hoping they would let me have one last meal before the morning,

i cant believe im going to do this. the liquid Protein has helped me get the right mindset for my new begining. does anyone have the fear of failing like i did in so many other diets? do you still have that fear after?

well i got to get organized for the big day

chris

did you see the mexico travel suggestions thread? my only advice is to not overpack! Also have a wheelchair lined up for the return trip home and for any change of planes. Remember to take your heating pad! And as always.... the FUZZY PINK HOUSE SLIPPERS MAKE YOU FEEL SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

COngratulations Chris and good luck to you.

Accomplising anything with the proper toos ( the band) is always easier than winging it. We're all here when you need to talk. I'm definitely paying this forward. I'll need you all next month.

Prayers for a speedy recovery

Best of luck to you, Chris! Do you have your aftercare lined up now? Were you able to find out about the steriods and banding? Here's to a successful surgery and quick recovery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
