Recommended Posts

I am set for surgery monday, just found out this monday, had almost giving up and got a call on my cell phone . It was the Doctors Office said they had everthing they needed and i was scheduled for surgery, had a preop class yesterday. Friday i have a gallbladder scan. and meet with the doc. Have to have clear liguid diet sat. and sun. I am starting to get nervous. but i want this pretty bad . I am Divorced and live along . They said i needed to have somone stay with me for 3 days. so i lied and told them i had someone...LOL. My girlfriend doesnt want me to have it, so she is out of the picture now . so I am going to go it along. My son is supportive of me doing this so it wont be so bad. sorry for the rambling. Just excited and scared at the same time...

Do you have someone to take you home after the procedure? I think thats the one time you really do need someone else around...

I applaud you Buck. You are going for it despite what some others think. You are doing this for you- congrats bud.

I am being banded on August 14th here in Canada. Regulations are a bit different here but the results from the banding are the same for sure.

I am glad your son is supporting you-my husband is EXTREMELY supportive as well.

I know all about the feelings of fear and excitement..lol. It's a mixed bag hey? I wanted you to know that someone is thinking of you and wishing you all the best in your journey. I know things will go well for you and that you n me both are on our way to a greater peace and happiness.

Good luck my friend... and drop me a few lines when you get healed up and rested if you can.

All my best,

Beth from Canada:thumbup: :sneaky:

      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.
