Having my surgery tomorrow...



Recommended Posts

I am very nervous but excited. My dr did not put me on a liquid diet ahead of time, but ask me to eat low carb a few days before. I am glad I found this forum, I think I am going to need a lot of support. I am a big baby.

September 2009 Band Date

Hi kristik99, this is the post where most us us 09/09 bandsters are.

My band day was no problem, even though I was expecting many! The one item that helped me, besides the typical lipchap, etc, was

Biotene ® Mouth Spray

I found it at my local grocery in the mouthwash section.

Wishing you a wonderful band day.

Anita

Don't forget to take a pillow for the ride home, to hold against your tummy in case of bumps! Good Luck!!

The mouth spray lubricates your mouth, which can be dry after surgery.

      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.
