Anyone going October 28?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Well, I finally bit the bullet, and I made my appointment to get the band. I'll be going over the weekend of October 28 (having the band that day, and staying the weekend). Wondering if anyone else will be in TJ at that time for surgery too? Feel free to PM me, and maybe we can catch up with one another.

:)

Hey! I am going on the 27th for pretests and having surgery on the 28th!!! I am going to Monterrey, but we will still be banded on the same day. Seems better know that someone on here will be going through it at the same time as me. We can do liquids and mushies together, lol!

Less than two weeks! I'm getting excited and MORE nervous! Ahhh. Glad someone else will be getting it done that day too (even if not in TJ).

PM me and let me know how you are doing. Would love to have someone to "walk through" this with!

I am going to be banded on Oct 28. I am feeling a little nervous. My doctor requires 10 days of a pre-op liquid diet, that has been a little rough! I hope all goes well for you.

MSFROSH, Where are you being banded at? Just curious... I'm excited that others will be banded on the same day as me. :)

La Madam,

Cool! I'll be gone by that early morning, so I guess I won't have a chance to cross paths... :) Maybe next time?

      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.
