Charda

So i went in for my pre op appointment today..... I gained a pound... I was supper pissed but my doctor say my intake of meds STAROIDS are the reason... HE was soo cool.. Ihave really heard of surgery cancalation for a pound of weight gained....

This is truely how you should view it A NEW START....

I think this is true in some forms but not others. I personally think that this sight is here so that others can take advantage of the information and knowladge of issues that thier PEERS are or have experienced. Now if a problem arise with a bander and it is a NEW issue that they are having then I would see for one to ask for advice and take caution in proactivly using it untill they can get in with thier surgen to be advised on this issue. But if is a issue that one has had before, the advice they were given by thier DR didn't work I see no problem in asking other BANDERS what they have tried and what worked... Asking can save allot of time and pain, while your trying these many concoctions.. THAT may not work... This is my PERSONAL thought on the matter..

This is great... Im not having as much luck with my pre op diet. if I may ask what was your meal plan?????? I get banned next TUESDAY.... OMG im scared but I wont show it....

I have been on this pre op liquid diet.. 3 protien shakes a day. 1 6oz grits or oatmeal soupy, brooth, sugar free gelo/ pudding for 5 days now.. I havent lost any weight...Whats going on i getting pissed...

OMG you get banned a day sfter me....Are you scared?

Well my surgery is coming up May 1st to be exact and im starting to have mixed felling and cold feet. Im on the liquid portion of the pre op diet now and im having a bit of a strug;e but m sticking with it. But the factor of being on liquids for 5 weeks (2 wks before 3wks after) is getting to me. Thier is only so many ways that you can mix a protien shake. Not only that I am reading allot of stories on this sight from people that thier band is not working. This one girl has had it for 2 1/2 years and have only lost 50 pounds...I scared that im risking my life and it's a possiability that it's not worth it... I say risking my life because ANY surgery for me can be my last. I have been through allot over the last past 5 yrs and i just want something to come out right. Honestly im not that girl that want to loose a ton of weight, but i need it due to my health condition.. Maybe im just having cold feet.....

This is great that your doing so well it give me hope for when I go in on the May, 1st. I have sleep apnea also so now i know that it will be a posibility for me to stay the night in the hospital. I know recovery will take a while but my 1st cousin is getting married on the 5th and I feel obligated to go.....I hope that you recovery be a joyful time for you and not a painful time for you... YOU HAVE MADE IT... skinny jeans here SHE comes......

I need help with mixing my protien shakes what type of things do you recomend that are still low carb to go into my shakes?

Congradulations

I know that this will be a lifestyle change and im going to embrace it because i know that i am destined for better. I PRAY that all go good for you, and I will be here to support you because lord knows i need support also......KEEP me posted on your recovery..
