Tomorrow is the big day!



Recommended Posts

Well, tomorrow morning I am scheduled to get banded. I am getting anxious, but excited as well. I am excited to get started on my new life!

I am hungry today on the pre-op diet, but wonder how you all felt hunger-wise post-op? I am talking before mushies. I will be on Clear liquids only a week after the surgery, add Protein Shakes the next week, and mushies on the 3rd and 4th weeks. I am nervous about how I will feel.

Thank you all for your support and answers! Have a wonderful day!:confused:

Good luck tomorrow!

I am on day 4 post-op and I am not as hungry as I was pre-op, but I am hungry...I won't lie. However, it's a different kind of hunger - my tummy is growling and feels hollow, but the thought of eating kind of makes me queasy. It's odd.

I'm pretty much on the same post-op schedule as you - I'm sure we can do it!

I am 4 days post op as well and felt a bit of hunger yesterday but it passed, and today I am not hungry at all. I can do Protein Shakes starting today so I am happy to be out of the clear phase.

Tomorrow is my day too!!! Today has been pretty easy for me, but very surprisingly! I really haven't been hungry on this pre-op liquid diet. Today is the only day I had to be on liquids, other than my phase 1 Breakfast today. Then at noon I had to drink the magnesium stuff, but found grape flavored thanks to the NP that I met with at final weigh in.

      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.
