Anyone getting banded on 3/8/11



Recommended Posts

Looking for anyone who is getting banded the same day as me. There's something oddly comforting knowing that others will be having the procedure on the same day.

I am! Less than 2 weeks away. Do you have a pre-op diet? How long do you have to be on it? I have a 2 week diet.

Here's to starting our new lives "together" on March 8, 2011!!

Oh awesome!!! I'm a bit nervous with this pre-op diet. I'm suppose to start it this Saturday, but I'll be still on vacation. Am I suppose to realisticly start a liquid diet while on vacation. Instead of 10 days, it's going to have to be a 9 day liquid diet.

So glad to know we'll be "together". I'm scouring all these threads for liquid diet recipes. 10 days of nothing but liquids. Talk about a shock to the system!!!

I am being banded on the 8th also. I started my preop diet on Tuesday and have lost 10 lbs since I weighed in in November. My home scale wont weigh me so I don't know what I was when I started my preop diet. Today I had a chest xray, EKG, blood gasses andblood drawn two times. I had to drink this sickly sweet stuff in between.I have my preop exam and physical with my PCP next week and then I will be ready to go. FINALLY!!

I am getting banded on March 8th. Weirdest day to choose since it is my 8th year wedding anniversary. I am starting to get nervous about the procedure, but I am very sure that I want to get this done. I am so sure of the procedure, that I am willing to pay out of pocket for it.

The only thing that I am failing right now is the preop diet. I was suppose to do for 2 weeks. I will definitely have to start it tomorrow, my "only liquid" diet ...ugh.

Hi all! I too am getting banded on the 8th! So nervous and excited right now. My Dr didn't tell me anything about a diet before surgery, I wonder if that was a mistake on his part? Since everyone here seems to be doing it I guess I will try to do it too, can't hurt and I might lose some weight before surgery. I'd love someone to hold my hand on this new journey. So if anyone is interested I'll be your buddy!

I am working with what appears to me to be a very well organized team. The dietician starts everyone out on ten day liquid diet prior to surgery. This is to reduce the size of the liver which is located very near the stomach. I am told that the surgeon I am working will cancel surgery if a patient has eaten any solids ten days prior to surgery! He needs room to work in and doesn't want a fatty liver in the way. I am going to try and give him ALL the room he needs! Carnation Breakfast diet was suggested. The best to you. Novena

I am going to be banded on March 9, 2011!! The day after you! I started my pre op diet today. I can only have Protein shakes and Water. I am not hungry, but I do feel the urge to eat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
