List of October Bansters

October 22 !!

Went by the Docs office today to signed the concent forms. While i was there i asked about the pre-op liquid diet. She told me that becuase my BMI was below 50 that i was not required to do the liquid diet prior to the surgery. Anyone else have the same issue ?

My band operation is on the 3rd (Sat.)

I too was told not to diet. My BMI is 30-31.

I thought it was odd so I've been binge-ing : (

I decided to do a clense tomorrow by eatting only fresh juiced veggies & drinking a pre-surgery drink that will absolutely clean me out.

By Fri I should be completely empty. That will give me the 24hr fast I need and hopefully the jump start I nedd to drop this unwanted weight.

Good luck to you all!

October 1st for me!

It's 12:16 AM PDT and I have to head to the hospital at 3:30 AM. I could probably fall asleep if I lay down but then I am afraid I might not wake up and then miss the whole thing.

About preop diet ?'s My doc only required 1 day prior to surgery be a clear liquid diet. All I had was Ice tea & Jello :) It wasn't so bad.

I look forward to checking in with you all soon. And to my fellow band mates of 10-1-09, Happy Band-day to you!!!:smile:

Hi Angie,

Thanks! My day was AWESOME!!! I am doing good and feel really good to. At this point I only had a little pain as I was coming to in recovery. Now I would just say a little uncomfortable. Nothing I can't handle.

Good luck on yours!

      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.
