Looking for June 2011 Bandits!



Recommended Posts

I am down for the 16th of June. My B-day is the 4th, I start the pre-op diet on the 2nd. I am not sure what I should feel; happy that I am almost there or sad that I will have to drink my birthday cake.........It's always a good day for change.:lol:

Twisting the day away,

My surgery is June29th... So technically I am a June Bandit however I am wondering if I should wait and go with the July Bandits since I am so far out? I am trying to avoid Optifast and am eating raw vegan until sugery. So I am glad to have the month to play with.

Looking for any June 2011 bandits!! My date is June 20th and looking for fellow bandsters to keep me company! I could use support and hopefully I can help support someone else! :)

I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow (6-2-11) and I have to admit that the 2 week Pre-op diet is rather stressful, but when I started to feel hungry, I would engulf myself in work or doing things around the house or go for a walk. Takes your mind off of the hunger and I drank lots of Water. I treated myself to a snack everyday for the sake of chewing so that I would not bite somebody in the house (LOL), I now know why supermodels are so angry... THEY'RE HUNGRY!

.. I would buy the crystal light packs that you put in the bottle of Water and put it in the freezer after I mixed it up to get it all slushy and that was my treat on the daily to keep my mouth moving and something about it just gave me a sense of satisfaction since I was chewing.. Try it and good luck.

Hi everyone. I am going to be banded on June 6th. I go today for my anesthesia meeting. I guess the anxiety and fears are starting to percolate their way through my system. A few days ago, I had some really serious doubts about getting this done. I’ve been doing the liquid Protein shake diet now for a couple weeks and have already lost 20 pounds. I figured I could just keep going on my own, but I know that I spent a long time deliberating about this decision, and I know this is the best for me in the long run. Also, I’ve worked very hard, and gone through many flaming hoops to get to this point (even switched surgeons and changed practices during the pre-op-approval time). I wish you all good luck in your procedures, and I just can’t wait to get mine over with. Sunday night is going to be a looooong night! :D

We have the same surgery date!! (Ok I don't know why that's so exciting but it is :rolleyes: ) What kind of pre-op diet will you have to do?

It is exciting! I have no pre-op plan so far, but I go in for my blood work-up on the 14th and I'll have to see what they say then. Good luck to 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.
