Anyone getting nervous like me? I am excited and nervous. Have not done to well on my 5 day pre-op diet. Gonna really hit it hard the next few days. How is everyone else doing? Did any one go out and stock up on your liquids?

Hi there,

My surgery is tomorrow morning, so I'm just a day ahead of you. I went out this weekend and stocked up on liquids. I live alone and the only thing I have yet to do is clear out my refrigerator, which I guess I can do either tonight or when I get back home.

I'm super excited :thumbup: and slightly nervous :wink2:, but I guess that comes with the territory. I'm not really nervous about the procedure itself, more so about the post-op liquid diet as I haven't had to be on a pre-op diet of any kind. I'm hoping I won't be starving since that's difficult for me to cope with.

All things said, I'm so excited to start this journey and begin the rest of my life on a healthy path. No more putting things off until I'm more comfortable with my outer self! This is truly a time of change and I for one, can't wait to get started!!! :rolleyes:

Good luck on your journey,

Nat

WOW tomorrow. Good luck to you. I am freaking out I was up all night reading the posts on after lap band removal. Reading about all the people that had to have them removed and why. I have never read those before. I really hope it all goes well. But now I am worried about what if I am one of those who only loses 10 in 4 months? Or has reflux. Or is sick all the time. I was so excited now I am worrying about everything and wondering if I have made the right decision. :smile2:

      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.
