Any October Bandsters!??!?!
LonghornGirl replied to SoCalCass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
just some info that i got at the doctor today and wanted to know if anyone had been told this.......... my doctor's office told us to mark where our bra hit and were our pants hit on the waist and mark with a sharpie so that the doctor would have a "road map" so as not to place the incision too close to either of them..... did anyone else get this info from their doctor? if not you might ask... seems like where they cut is pretty important and it would not be a good thing to have pain due to clothing rubbing against it.... -
What's up with needing a wireless bra after surgery girls?

glad to hear all of the Oct 1 and 2 folks are doing well. just wanted to let you guys know about a product I found at Wal*Mart today. My LB office carries a product called IsoPure (25 or 42 grams of protein in a tube costing $38.00 for 12). Well while shopping today for my whey protein I found something called Body Fortress Super Whey Protein Shot (2.9 oz, 26 grams of protein and only $1.97 each*). You can purchase individual viles or a pack of 6 for $11.82*. I bought 6 and will let you know how they taste when I have one. Hope this helps anyone on a budget. They also have whey protein in a huge container for under $15* Renee' * indicates price in DFW Texas -
i'm a smoker too and there's not a single doctor in the world that won't tell you to stop immediately. i'm trying my best to stay busy and not smoke out of boredom (its hardest when I'm on the phone or driving). do you smoke in your house? if so, wash your walls and shampoo the carpet, wash the linens. once the house is clean and doesn't smell like smoke anymore, stop smoking in it. if you actually have to make an effort to get up and go outside and find a spot that isn't too sunny you will slow down alot!
as for the diet, i put myself on the pre op diet for a whole week before i even had to and have lost 8.5 lbs in less than 2 weeks. i'm doing very high protein, no carbs, no sodas, no fruit (natural sugar) and about a gallon or more of water a day. start walking even if its 15 minutes a day at least you are moving. i'm only up to 30 minutes a day and each day i take one of my three dogs so they are benefiting as well. keep in touch and let me know if any of these worked for you. and best of luck with all your goals!

Hey Everyone! Brand new member here in Texas. Want to wish everyone that has or will have their surgery the best of luck. My band date is exactly 2 weeks away. Hope this is going to be a place of inspiration and support. Will be having my surgery at Baylor in Ft Worth. Start the two week pre op diet tomorrow. Why does it seem easier to give up something on your own than when you are told you CAN"T have them? Crazy isn't it? If any DFW posters are around would love to hear from you! later :redface:
