Surgery is less than a week away!!! I'm nervous as all get out, not about the surg but about he recovery aftrward.....

My dr has not put me on a liquid diet at all!!??

I have my pre op apt with him on Monday, already had all the tests done and allthat stuff......just going over what ever he needs to before the surg???

I bought a new digital camera today. I'll be taking pictures of before the surg, right after the surg and then every week. I'm thinking about wearing the same jeans and shirt for every pic so Ican see the difference in how they fit. Maybe I can even be one of those people who can fit into one pant leg after they loose all their excess weight. Wouldn't that be cool?

I already told my daught er to take good care of those new clothes I bought her a few weeks ago because we were going to be sharing clothes this time next year. All she could say was," I don't think so, you are to short to wear any of my pants or dresses." Gee thanks daughter, I love you too...

Today is my last post untill after surg. I will not have access to a computer untill then...

Everyone keep Porc and I in your prayers Thursday when we get to be on the other side of this band thing...

I'm excited. Monday is my 1st appointment with the Bariatric center coordinator and nurse, Friday is my appointment with the surgeon and Monday May 8th is my appointment with the psychiatrist.

Then I'm off to Ecuador for a week. When I get home, I am hoping to have a surgery date right before Memorial Day. I will keep you updated.

I think I'm more nervous now that I have read this whole website.

But, it is good for me to be well informed. Good luck to all May bandsters! :)

I'll post more later this week! It's comforting to be able to see how everyone else is doing, to have this place to keep in touch!

Hey there May bandsters! May 5th is quickly approaching! I am getting a little nervous. I am going thru all my clothes right now, weeding out old winter clothes that I know wont fit come winter time....My biggest delemia is my winter leather coat! What do I do with that?? Its pretty dressy, soft leather, lined with sheep skin. Real nice...from Wilsons Leather. I think I am gonna try and put it up for sale on Ebay. I don't mind donating all my other clothes but maybe with the $$ from the leather coat, I can put it towards another leather coat, just a few sizes smaller!!

I do my preop stuff on Tuesday...and I am starting to get a bit nervous! Anxious, but a little nervous too!

All righty gotta get back to my piles of clothes. I will talk to you soon! GOOD LUCK LISALU!! PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS WILL BE WITH YOU!

talk to you soon!

Hey honey! Why dont u try taking it to someone who does alterations on leather and see if they can salvage it for u? Just a thought! Of course I dont know jack crap really cause I dont get my band till the ninth!! But how great is it to worry bout old "fat" clothes?! Im keepin all mine till theyr'e fallen off me. I dont know how many times I threw away clothes after I lost weight only to gain it back...sigh. But this time should be different! Yaehhhhhh for us! Hot topic here we come!!

      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.
