Any May 2011 Banders?



Recommended Posts

Wow my surgery date is the same as yours. Really scared of failing as I am a vegetarian and have limited food options once my surgery is done.

I just got my surgery date today :) I'll be having my procedure done on May 10th! I can't wait. I only have to do a one week liquid diet before surgery.

Have you talked to your surgeon about that concern? I wonder if they would have some idea for you. I hope that your surgery goes well!

I was supposed to be banded on April 5th. But due to my Type 1 Diabetes going haywire the morning of the surgery, my surgery was canceled. I heard today that I have been rescheduled now for May 3rd, and this time I will be admitted to the hospital the day before so my blood sugar can be monitored. Hopefully, everything works out this time.

Got my date today!! May 18th is the start of my new life!! I have a choice of a liquid Optifast diet for 6 days pre-op or a regular diet of 800-1000 calorie high Protein diet for 7 days. Any suggestions which way I should go? I am allowed 1 4oz piece of grilled chicken breast a day on the Optifast. My last nutrition class is tomorrow night and I just have my pre-op meeting left with my surgeon's office. I'm excited but nervous!!! :blink::D

I'm scheduled for May 20th! I just found out yesterday. My insurance hasn't officially approved it, but the insurance guy at my surgeon's office says I'll definitely be approved. He says with my insurance, we should know in just a few days. He'd better be right, or I'm going to be pissed! lol

just went through my pre operative orientation and I survived..

Nothing too major...really surprised at how lax the pre op diet is...

was scared I would be on liquids for weeks.. but only five days...

Can't believe that surgery is in less than eighteen days!! May 10th here we come!

How exciting!! Does your Dr. require a pre op diet?

Yes, 2 weeks 4 Protein shakes a day (8 ounces) 2 fruits and 1 meal with 4 ounces of lean protein/greens. This is end of my second week and as I mentioned in post, I cheated yesterday morning with a one egg omlet cooked in Pam. It was a hard week, but it is what I will have to do.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
