The wait(weight) is almost over!



Recommended Posts

So Friday the 3rd of October is finally my last day of my 6 month supervised diet. I am so exicited. I will be weighed and then on Monday the 6th all of my paperwork will be faxed into the insurance and then I wait for approval. I was told approval would most likely take a week, then I can make my appts for the preop diet, surgeon. At the surgeon appt I get the EGD appt and surgery appt. So sometime in the next few weeks I'll have an official date for my banding and will be starting preop! I have lost 26.5 lbs so far...hope to have lost more on Friday. On my 2 week preop diet I will be having a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and lean meat and veggies for dinner. I have to lose at least 5 lbs on it. Don't think it should be too much of a problem. The estimated date is November 3rd or November 10th. We will see though! I know it's November! The time has been flying by and now that it's almost here everything seems to be going so slow. I am ready to be a bandster!!! Froggi is ready for Bandland!:thumbdown:

Good for you, froggi!!! It's hard to believe you're almost there.

I was in P-burg a few weeks ago, and saw a billboard ad for lap band surgery at Camden Clark, and I thought about you and how far you've come. Keep up the good work!!!

      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.
