Joining the banded!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am being banded at 7:30 tomorrow morning.:biggrin::cool2::biggrin:

I am sooooo super excited at this moment I am not nervous. The only thing i am nervous about is if something comes up tomorrow and I will not be able to go through surgery I don't know what could come up but with all the hoops and emotional roller coasters this last 5 months who knows. I can't wait till I am there and being rolled back to the O.R.

I will be staying a night in the Hospital so will update on Tuesday depending on how I am feeling.

Question: My daughter has a function at school Wednesday morning.........Do you think I will feel up to going??? I am not doing anything other than sitting it is a veterans day program.

Everyone reacts differently to surgery. I went to work the day after I got out of the hospital. Not really to work, but to get up and do something. I'd go if for nothing else to get yourself out of the house. Will you have to drive yourself? If so make sure you are not groggy. I did not have to drive for several days after surgery, but getting up will make you feel better, help you get rid of the gas. Good luck.....:cool2:

I wouldn't have wanted to have to dress up to go out to a function, but then I hate fixing my hair etc. LOL If you don't mind that kind of thing, then yes, as my friend Emilie says, getting out for a bit will be good for you!

      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.
