Bandwagon



Recommended Posts

I highly advise everyone waiting to get banded or those recently banded to get the book: Bandwagon here is the website:

http://jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com/

This is a wonderful resource and the woman who wrote the book was banded. It's written in plain lan guage and an easy read. I took it to the hospital with me. It has a list of things to bringto the hospital, a list of questions to ask the doc after surgery, etc. Really useful stuff. The book is $20 but totally worth every pennny. I ordered from Amazon and it took about 3-4 days. Good luck to everyone out there!!:P

NJGirl,

Thank you for the recommendation. I will go to Amazon and order it now. I hope it is available on Kindle so I don't have to wait. And how are you doing today?

It'snot available on KIndle but I sure wish it was!!

I am feeling a little better each day-still sore. I can drink 4ozs at a time but anymore really gets me full. Today I am getting a shower-that should make me feel a lot better!

How are you feeling?!

Good! Keep your eye on the prize at all times! Also keep a good perspective because most people tend to post their worries,fear, setbacks and concerns on this site (which makes sense because they want help). Every now and then read the success stories-that should keep you positive! Good luck on your journey!!

      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.
