6 days till banded



Recommended Posts

I am getting very excited with only 6 days to go:w00t: So happy i am part of the March banders. I totally can make it through these next 6 days on the shake diet because i can see the end in site. Or is it the beginning woo hoo :confused: However i am a little nervous about all the things that can go wrong, so i can't wait till it is over. Is there anyone else with not long to go?

Make that 3.5 days for me....I had to have an EGD on Wed. which also included full anaethesia. Did you have to get one, too? It's a procedure where a scope is put down your esophogus all the way into the stomach to check for any internal problems like erosion from acid reflux, etc. So for two days I've been nursing a super sore throat/esophagus. I haven't been hungry and the warm broth and milkshakes have helped with the sore throat. I'm also getting nervous, but the EGD two days ago has helped with the fear factor. I now know what to expect from being put under and then waking up after. So I go on Tues., the 10th at 6 am.

Good Luck to you and all the other March bandsters!

All you March banders about to be done hang on tight it's going to be an awesome roller coaster of a ride. So glad i have all of you taking it with me....makes it not so scary.

less then 24 hrs to go!!!! oh my goodness the butterflies are going crazy! can't wait till it's over, praying you all go well and can't wait to here from you. the first one of us out and on here, should start a thread or add to it call "just banded the journey" so we can all see how each of us is going.

I have lost 9lbs (just over 4kgs) on the pre op shake diet, it's encouraging to go in with a little weight loss.

Good luck

      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.
