Tomorrow I go in to be banded. I first called the doctor in September, so it's been a long process. I'm so ready. :leaving:

I met with the doctor and had the pre-op tests last Tuesday. He said I only needed to be on Clear liquids today and then for 3 days post-op. Then full liquids. It's funny how each doctor has his or her own way of doing things.

The doctor said that I have to spend two nights in the hospital because it's a hospital rule. I don't mind one night, but two seems kind of excessive to me. Oh well, I'll just go with the flow.

I'll let you know how it went when I get home Wednesday.

HORRAY!!! I bet y'all are excited!!! Two nights might be a little much, but hindsight being 20/20, I sure would have loved that extra day in the fancy hospital bed to get in and out of rather than the recliner or bed at home. LOL

Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how you are feeling as soon as you are up to it. Take advantage of the time in the hospital to get well rested before going home.

Would love to, Kerry. I am very emotional this week about taking this step. I have taken a lot of time to prepare and feel as if I am ready. All these emotions are bound to happen. I am sure that all this will even out. I wish you luck and stay in touch!:wink_smile:

Good luck to you! I just was banded last Friday and I really would have appreciated another night in the hospital. My first night there, with a trapeze above the bed, was a lot more pleasant than my second night at a hotel, where I had to be so careful getting in and out of bed. Enjoy it!

      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.
