Banding on May 21st 2009. Who else?



Recommended Posts

Funny I was told no dark or bright polish of any color but light or semi sheer color was fine. I also have acrylic on my nails and they said that was fine.

Hi guys,

Mine is a week from today, the 27th. You guys are sooo good with your pre-op stuff. I didn't hava a pre-op diet, so I just want to eat everything in sight because I know I can't eat it again.

Ditto on all of the above. I'm excited, but at the same time I keep thinking OMG am I really doing this? And the answer is yes. After seven months of jumping through hoops, I'm not changing my mind now. Everything lines up here, and now, it may not again.

I like what someone posted on another thread; if we meet the criteria the medical folks set, then we should be doing this.

Good luck to everyone. Keep posting it really helps. My husband is really supportive, but he isn't a mayo BANDido.

I too am getting the butterflies. I leave tomorrow for MX and the surgery is Fri morning! I can't believe after all these years of wanting this, it's FINALLY here!!! And of course, I am now going thru the "is this what I really want" phase/doubt. But I know that it really is!! I won't be home until Sunday but I look forward to checking the board upon my return to see how everyone is doing!!

Good luck to all of us!

I too have had thoughts today of "Do I really want to do this", but I think it's because I have had so little to eat since Sunday (being on liquids only). Restaraunts, etc are really beckoning to me to eat. I passed by one of my favorite hot dog joints and had such a longing for a plain old hot dog.

I was not hungry until today and I know it's because I missed a Protein Shake between lunch and dinner and then didn't get home from work until close to 7pm. I will do fine though and I'm really looking forward to the new me as time goes by.

      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.
