Recommended Posts

This time next week I will have began the biggest change of my life. I have so many emotions I dont even know where to start. Im freaking out but I think the excited part is overtaking the freakin out part. I just cant believe after all the years of being fat and all the time spent fighting insurance to approve it that THIS TIME NEXT WEEK I WILL BE BANDED. Sept. 2 will be a big day in history for me from now on! Sorry that wasnt a question I just had to express my feelings to someone since NONE of my friends know.

That is totally cool and I'm so excited for you. Just reading your post got me all excited and I know what you mean. This is huge!!! We have showed we are ready though and it's going to be tough, but wonderful too. There is a September thread of people being banded, you should hop over there. I haven't really told anyone either, so it will be nice to make some new friends on here. My surgery is Sept 16 and I am just waiting to make sure Insurance is gonna approve it. I am getting nervous, but staying positive. Congrats again and only a few more days...:blushing:

Boo

      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.
