Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on 9/11 and am on day 3 of my pre op diet. I'll be honest here it totally sucks. I'm should have 4 Protein Shakes a day, crystal light, broth, sf Jello etc..I had such a hard day today. I ended up having a lean Protein to combat the headaches. 7 more days of this... I hope I can hang in there.

Hi goingforit and all other september bandsters on the pre op diet. Ya, it really SUCKS!!! I'm on day 6 today, but yesterday was a rough day for me to. I just couldn't wait last night to get tired enough to go to sleep. But today is a new day and I'm just hoping for a better day for all of us.

Have a great Monday everyone !!!!

Day 1 of this pre-op diet, wishing I could sleep the next 6 days away! Anyone else having a tough time? I didn't think it was going to be this hard, but I can't watch tv because the commercials are showing food all the time. Ahhhh....

I also have been avoiding watching TV to get through these 2 weeks of my pre-op. I am on Day 8. It's definitely challenging and tough, but the promise of what lies ahead is motivating me. Also, loosing some weight this week didn't' hurt either! Hang in there and try to distract yourself.

The first three days were really tough for me - but it does get better! And it helps to drink a lot of water!

I'm not hungry just miss tasting good food. I have indulged enough in life and if this is what I have to do I deserve it. With every commercial I see good food I get stronger. That's how I think of it anyway.

I'm getting my band on Thursday! Getting pretty excited and a little nervous now. This two week pre-op diet has been difficult to say the least. I am comparing this diet to quitting smoking. One of the hardest things I have ever done but I did it. I know I will be successful with this too, but it won't be easy. Today has probably been my worst day yet with this diet. Thankfully I have some hobbies that help keep me busy and mind off of the things I wish I was eating. I had a dream about onion rings and I swear I could smell them when I woke up. LOL Good luck and best wishes to everyone getting banded this month!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
