Tomorrow's My Big Day.....Anyone Else ?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Just checking in to see who else is getting banded tomorrow. I'm very excited about the beginning of a new life, a new me, but also pretty nervous now and need some encouragment. I'm hoping and praying that everything goes well, and no complications. OMG, if I can just get over the fear of being put to sleep I think I will be okay. This will be my last post until surgery is completed and I'm back home, although I may post from my Blackberry (if I can get my dad to sneak me my phone into the recovery room)...Lol. But, to my fellow January 23rd banders, good luck and best wishes to all of you. Tomorrow will be a day we will never forget. Love yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Well I'm getting ready for surgery tomorrow. Just got back from the store. I still feel like I'm forgetting things. I'm really nervous. I've been trying to stay busy so I don't think about it too much. I'm very excited about the future though!! I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for all the stories that have helped keep me get to this day!

      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.
