Surgery on the 15th



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if everyone else was as nervous as me. I'm getting banded on the 15th, just about a week from now and i'm getting really anxious for this. At times I wonder if I can do this, and when i'm eating i'm thinking should I be eating this, or i'm just plain confused about what I should be eating and calories and Protein and what not.... ugh....Did anyone else or is anyone else feel like this???

I certainly was! I got banded on the 27th of June which was a week last Friday. I was so nervous I was making a mistake etc. I am glad it is done now and you will be as well. I already feel better. I go to the Doctor on the 10th ad I think I have lost around 10lbs. I know it will get harder but I can do it and so can you. I have not been hungry but a couple of times!

Hey, srfrmom. I'm being banded on the 15th also! I'm 3 days into my doctors prescribed liquid diet. And it's pretty horrible. The hunger headaches are the worst. I feel like I'm constantly in the washroom from all the Water I'm drinking. My surgeon makes us do a clear liquid only diet one day before the surgery and thats my last day of work before my banding. I'm super nervous about working that day (I have a physical job) only on Clear Liquids. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull thru! I refuse to cheat, or blow it. This sure is a big test of will power for me.

      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.
