Hi from new york,5 days till sugery can't wait



Recommended Posts

GREETINGS, I HAVE FIVE DAYS UNTIL MY SUGERY AND LORD KNOWS I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND WITH THE 12LBS I HAVE LOSE IN THE LAST 9 DAYS. THIS liquid diet WAS THE WORST THING EVER, I THOUGHT GIVING UP NEWPORTS WERE HARD. BUT THIS.WEPH!!!!. SHRINKAGE OF THE LIVER TO MAKE THE SURGERY EASIER HELPS. AFTER SURGERY I UNDERSTAND I WILL NOT BE STARVING BECAUSE I DID IT ALL NOW. LOOKING FORWARD TO JULY 29. GOOD LUCK ALL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

I was banded on 7/15/08. I didn't cheat one time on the 2 week pre-opt diet due to the stories I read here of people waking up to "open" lapband surgerys that had been done on them. Where the surgeon opened them up and the liver didn't shrink so they cut them wide open and did it that way. Or they wake up and were told they weren't banded and they'd have to try again another day. No way was I going to let that happen to me.

Now I'm 8 days post-opt still on full liquids and I'm more than ready for real food. But I don't dare cheat because I've read here some have had band slippage due to that and the throwing up it caused and they have to stay on the liquid diet longer to shrink the pouch back down or the band has to be removed. I can't risk that!

My surgery date is Monday the 28th. I have been on this liver shrinking diet for almost 2 weeks. Giving up the cafeine was the worst for me. I want to be successful in this new venture. Good luck.:)

      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.
