Who's getting banded in August 09?



Recommended Posts

I am waiting for the word from my insurance. I thought I would hear last week, so maybe tomorrow is the day. :)

I am having a really hard time being patient. I have done everything they have asked and I am ready. According to my surgeon, there should be no problem.

Anyone else getting banded in August 09 or waiting for the word? I would love to have a place to check in with those banded around the same time I am and keep in touch as we start our journey.

Anybody game? :)

Ready and waiting!

Hello!

No, you're not the only one. Someone else started a thread awhile ago asking for August banders to respond. Here's the link.

      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.
