August 12th!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm off to Detroit today and then tomorrow I have my pre-op consult and then my surgery on Wednesday. Just wanted to give a shout-out to my fellow August 12th BANDits and to everyone else who has been so supportive. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes when it's all said and done.

Ooooohh..... if you're looking for something to do tonight, GreekTown Casino is a blast!!! (however... it's smokey as HELL! since you just quit smoking, I suppose you could hop the river and go to Windsor Casino... which is smoke free!!)

Maybe go and play at Eastern Market?? there's so many plants and flowers to look at :thumbup:

Can't wait to hear how everything goes! You're going to be very pleased with Harper Hospital! I certainly was!

We went to dinner near the Greektown Casino on our first night. I can't remember the name of the restaurant (probably because all I could eat was a crummy chicken salad), but it had TexMex. I wanted to go into the casino, but the bf wasn't feeling it. Wish I had read this post earlier, we were so BORED yesterday after my pre-op consultation. You're right, I am very pleased with Harper Hospital, and the whole Detroit Medical Center as a matter of fact. Detroit might not be what it once was, but these facilities are outstanding.

      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.
