Recommended Posts

Just finished my pre-op on Friday the 24th, EKg, Chest Xray, and blood work... All went well and I'm ready for surgery on August 12th! Yaaah. Pre op diet starts on July 29th, I was surprised that my doctor allows me to eat one meal... and two Protein Shakes. It could be the fact that my BMI is 39, not really sure but is sounds like it will rather simple since I can eat at least one meal, as well as sugar free popcicles and sugar free Jello, this should be a breeze.

Start Weight: 252

Pre Op Weight: 239

Goal Weight: 145

I hope I can be banded in August! I just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago, so I'm not sure if he'll want to wait till September or later.

I have surgeon consultation 7/28/09. If all goes well, I'll let you know!

Good luck August Banders!

I just had my gallbladder out 7.9.09 and im still supposed to get my band on 8.5.09. I think you will be fine enough for surgery by September. Good luck :thumbup:

I just got my date this morning- August 7th. Started my pre-op diet today, and I'll be 2 days shy of a full 2 weeks on the pre-op diet, but hope that will be good enough. I think it will be since some surgeons only do a 1 week pre-op diet...

I'm cash pay and this has all happened so fast! I was not expecting to be those close to surgery so soon.

I just finished my pre-op appointment this morning got blood work and all completed, I haven't been put on a pre-op diet or anything just the usual don't eat after midnight stuff, I guess everyone is different. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. My husband and I have been planning the different broths to make to help me through the first three weeks of liquids, and food for the mushie stage too. My children are excited too. one week to go...:smile2:

      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.
