Just found out my surgery is Monday, March 23!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just met with my doctor for the pre op visit. I was thinking that surgery would be in 2-3 weeks but he had a cancelation on Monday and can put me in that slot. I have to do a liquid diet starting tomorrow and report at 10:30 on Monday morning. My surgery will be at 1 pm. Very excited. I started my lapband journey in August 08 when I attended the seminar, did the 6 month diet and got my approval from insurance on March 9th.

Lap band surgery scheduled: 3-23-09!!!!!!!!

Lost - 16 lbs 6 month diet

      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.
