Hi all, i have just been banded 12th february and hopefully all going well. I hope to join your forum and look forward to supporting others at the same time. How are u all getting on, and any tips welcome. As i hope this 6k is the best money i have spent after years of silly diets. i am hoping to lose approx 3 stone and hopefully stop bingeing, as this is my downfall. I hope this will control my portion sizes and get back to normal.

look forward to joining

I only just got your email - thanks and sorry for not replying sooner! deffo up for buddying up if you think it would be good for us to support each other ? xnic

Hi everyone

I am getting banded on the sixth of April 2011

Using a group called gravitas have any one used them?

Costing £5590. And the option 2 of extra insurance for 5 yrs.

Has any one else added the extra insurance for anything that might go wrong which cost an extra £1500

Any advice of what u took pre op and then week after

Would be appreciated

Many thanks for including me

Jill

      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.
