Anyone Being Banded on 10/16



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow birthday people....a few hours & we all go to the hospital. I'm in the Detroit area...Dr Keith Marshall & Dr Carl Pesta...I can't wait, but could have left the bowel prep.

Oh my aching tummy...:D But...a small price to pay for better health. See you all after we are new bandsters!

Good luck!

Just thought I would see how everyone is doing. I came home this morning after the swallow test and am doing really well. Walking a lot and drinking my broth every hour. I hope that all of y'all are having it as easy as I am. Post when you can!:smile:

Hello other 16ths! I'm doing well; not sure how I managed it but I don't have bad gas. They had me up fairly early. My parents went home to sleep and a gf stayed with me. She's my triathalon friend so she was pushing me to go farther down the hall! I went to bed last night at 10pm and woke up at noon without having taken any meds! I'm pretty stoked! I do have to admit that I'm still pretty hungry tho. I keep thinking I'm on Clear Liquids so I guess I need to break out the Protein shakes!

      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.
