atlanta late may 2010 bandster needs mentor!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded late may of this year and would really appreciate a mentor to help my success:wub:. I would like to communicate with those that are banded at the same time and mentor that has been through and battled all the tough times and would be willing to share information so that I can be successful. I live in Atlanta and will have my first fill in a week or so...and I am trying my best not to gain weight during this time. Many thanks to those that want to stay in touch!!:)

Hi! I was banded in Atlanta on 4/5/10. I have been doing very well but not perfect. I have lost 49lbs. I have had two fills. I do feel some restriction - I had my first PB today. I would be willing to communicate with you.

      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.
