Surgery Tomorrow!!



Recommended Posts

So in less than 24 hours I will have my surgery. I am getting scared and excited. I know this is the right decision for me as I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I know that I can do this but I am still worried that maybe this won't work for me. I have tried so many diets and lost weight only to regain it back and have never thought that I could achieve weight loss and keep it off. I hope this works. I am committed and determined to make it work but I am still nervous that it wont. Good luck to all who have surgery tomorrow and to all of you July bandsters that have had it done.

Will let you know how it goes!!!:)

Me too! :) I have been 100% true to my 2 week diet. I am waiting for them to call me back and let me know my time. I have a 3hr drive to the hospital so im anxiously waiting to find out what time I have to wake up. Good luck to you and keep posting on your progress.

I wish you both the best of luck. Being three weeks and two days out, I'll say this is the best decision I've ever made for myself. It's not an easy road, but it is definietly worth it! I am making much better choices, and I am learning to listen to my body. I know y'all will do great!

      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.
