I want magic, I don't want to work, just give me a magic piece of plastic



Recommended Posts

I read the original post as being facetious and showing frustration with those that keep posting about their bands not working like they should and those that respond with, "it will work after a fill or two" without ever delving into the fact that they have to change their lifestyle in order to make the band work.

I can't figure out if they are being patronizing or are just plain ignorant as to what the band actually does.

BT, You get me, You honestly get me.

My post was meant to be absurd, sarcastic and facetious. My band is a tool, and I use it. But I am gonna lose another 100 lbs by working hard, eating right, and changing my behaviour. I will do it. The band will help.

But, if it could be magic, wouldn't that be great!!!

Thanks for chiming in BT. I knew you would.

P.S. Hummingbird, Elfiepoo and others, thanks for the concern. You guys are great....

TJ, I'm just seeing this now. I actually chuckled reading it somewhat because I sensed the facetious tone of the post. It can get frustrating being patient waiting for it this weight to come off when we're busting out butts so hard though :-)! I have no doubt you'll lose that additional 100!!

Glad you're okay and I was right in thinking you were being a smart a$$ LOL!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
