Surgery 09_22_09



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone--I am scheduled for surgery on 09_22_09, in TJ. I am currently on the pre-op diet, ugh! I am allowed a Protein shake for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and a lean cuisine with a cup of salad for dinner.

I am so hungry:sad:. I have been on the pre-op since 09_08_09.

Today I cheated, I feel like crap:mad2:. I had a egg taco for lunch instead of my Protein shake!!

I hope I have the strength to not let that happen again!!!!

September 2009 Band Date

Hi! Have you placed your name on the list of 09/09 bandsters ?

Quite a few are getting banded in September. I think several in Mexico.

Keep in touch, and let us know how you are doing. I did the pre-op diet 2 weeks. It helped me to keep the 0 calorie beverages up to 64 oz. Have the liquids already measured out for the day. Have you tried samples of Meal Replacement drinks?

Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!

Also, we were told to have a schedule, when to eat and when to drink, to practice for after the band.

Hi Anita,

I have not placed my name on the list not sure how to? I had surgery on the 22nd in TJ. Everything went great, I was so pleased with the doctor and his staff.

Now just trying to get on with the healing. I'm a little sore and my stomach gurgles all the time.

Hi, I just arrived back home after camping for a week.

I'm glad to read that your surgery was a good experience!

Usually, someone will add your name to the 09/09 list, if you ask. I didn't know how to, it was done for me!

      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.
