Anyone Getting Banded In July?



Recommended Posts

If I don't get banded by the end of June it will be early July! I'm excited, and scared! I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so

Impossible! :)

that was what I was most scared of I just finished my appt with my nutritionist and I have to have 3 shakes and one low fat low carb high Protein meal a day. I know I have to do it after surgery to allow time for my stomach to heal so keep me posted on how you are doing

Good luck and we can do this

I'm scheduled for July 9th OMG so ready to get on this journey praying for everyone and YES we can all do this. How many have started to cut back before the pre-op diet.

I'm July 9th too! I am going to start a pre-op diet next week to help me get use to less food before my liquid diet starting July 2nd. Good luck!

I'm most happy I do not have to do a pre-op diet however I had to lose 10% before I qualified for surgery and must maintain that weight loss...two weeks prior to surgery I get weighed again. I got approved on April 9 and my surgery date is July 5 so I've had to maintain that loss almost 3 months....hasn't been easy mostly due to rigid diet and hungry alot.

I think the best part is that I learned to eat alot healthier and learned alot more about Portion Control but at times I've wanted to give up...but I haven't so hooray for me!

I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it :) Where are you having yours done?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
