Banded August 4th

I am being banded tomorrow. Excited the time has finally come. This 2 day pre-surgery diet has been hard. I am really, really, really hungry...I could eat my shoes. I am also exhausted and have a headache, I think that may be from low blood sugar. Anyone else have this experience?

Yes, I found that staying quiet and calm was the best thing. It was hard smelling food and watching others eat.

My surgery date is Tuesday, 08/05/08. I am very hungry also. Today is my first day of Clear liquids, I did not think my headache would come so quickly. I plan on going to work tomorrow, which I have a desk job. I will probably think about food all day and not be very productive. Sunday meals are a big thing for our family, my family did carry-out dinners today. I thought that was really nice of them. I keep think of the end results!!!

Good luck to you tomorrow.

Hang in there with the pre-op diet. I will be there with you this weekend. My doc only wants one day of liquid, but I an going to do a few more because of the benefit for myself. After reading so many post on this site I understnad how important the pre-op diet is and I want to decrease the chances of problems if I can at all. Just think by Christmas we will look back and think 'that wasn't so bad after all' as we all put on our new skinney pants and grin from ear to ear.

I am on day 5 of my one week pre op liquid diet and it has gotten much easier. The first two days were horrible! I'm hungry but I'm no longer having cravings. My headache went away after the 2nd day of liquids. Hope you are feeling better by tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow! My surgery is the 6th so I'm right behind you!
