I seriously could have slapped her



Recommended Posts

So I have to ask...Was the pretzel OK? LOL

Seriously though, I completely understand about being too dumbstruck to respond to someone else's stupidity. If it were me, given your situation, I think a private "chat" would be enough. (As long as the chat mentions some of the legal ramifications that could result.) BTW I think if Tony told Gibbs that he was going to report him to HR, my guess is that Gibbs would smack him harder? LOL (Gotta love an NCIS reference in a LAP-BAND® forum!)

So this morning at work myself and two of the other ladies in the office went to coffee break. One of them (the family nutrition program assistant) asks me how I'm doing with the band. I replied well right now I'm down 21lbs since pre-op diet (Sept 29th) and 35 lbs all together. I said, I get a fill on November 23rd, so that will add restriction as I have no Fluid in my band right now. I was having a few pretzels (I know probably not the best choice but that's what I had). Then I went to take a bite of my little pretzel stick thing and she smacked my hand that held the pretzel (literally 3 inches from my face) and said "well then you shouldn't be having that!"

Excuse me broad, you are NOT the one living with this band, you are NOT the one who went through the pre-op diet, all the testing, the surgery, the dehydration, and besides that if I want a bite of a damn pretzel I'm going to have it! :blushing:

I could NOT believe she did that. I was literally so dumbfounded I couldn't even reply. :w00t: I just ate my pretzels chewing very LOUDLY to annoy her! Sorry just needed to vent.

Well next time you see her snacking on something you should smack it out of her hand and say, "you shouldn't be eating that." Just saying

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
