Recommended Posts

Checking around to see if anyone is being banded on the 28th?

On the two week pre-op diet and so far holding strong. :scared2:

Still have my little panic attacks:ohmy: about the whole thing even though I have NO doubt that this is the right thing for me.

I go on the 28th! I have been home alone tonight so I have been thinking about it more and more and starting to get excited. I have been doing the pre op diet for a week now and for the first time I cheated....I ate a fun size candy bar....anyway I have lost about 7 lbs so far! I hope to lose four more this week.

My Doctor tentively put me in his schedule for Jan. 28th but I havent heard anything back from my insurance. they told me it could take up to 90 days. I don't understand why this is such along process especially after I was required by the insurance co. to see a nutritionist for 6 months.

      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.
