Who's Getting Banded in August???



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone, I would love to be a part of your group.

I think it would be great to be an All-Star with all of you. I am on my pre-op diet of Protein Shakes right now. I get banned on Friday, Aug 8th.

half2bwhole, I am getting banded August 6th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am finally starting to get used to not eating solid food. It was very difficult last night when my kids decided to make popcorn...one of my favorites and it smells so good! Other than that I'm doing ok. Good luck to you Wednesday!

1 more week for me. The clock is running and I'm counting days.

I'm starting to get comfortable with the pre-op, nothing but liquids (600 calories a day) for almost a week. This is going to be a good thing. Already my blood pressure is lower and my blood sugar is lower too 80~90.

Hello, I just started my 3 day pre-op diet of all liquids. I am drinking chocolate Medifast shakes and just had a sugar free popsicle. Why yes I am still hungry...LOL

But I will live. My date is this Thursday Aug. 7th! I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Good Luck all!

I am getting banded tomorrow, 8/5/08. I'm starting to get very nervous. I am "Super big" at 424 lbs., and have very arthritic knees. I cannot walk long distances or stand for very long, as it is, so I'm nervous about being able to walk enough after the surgery to ward off gas, bloodclots, etc. Wish me well!:thumbup:

Hey Sarah, So glad to hear that you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I heard from my surgeon's office today, they uped my surgery date to August 21 from September 8. I'll keep you posted, as you do the same. Glad to hear you're doing well!

      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.
