Support In Idaho

This group is a great idea! I know we have a lot of banded people in Idaho. It would be nice if we could all communicate through this site and eventually plan some get togethers or events to support one another. This is a great place where soon to be banded persons (like me) could be mentored by experienced banders and experienced banders can inspire one another. The Women's Fitness Celebration in September or the Great Potato would be great activities to bring us together. Now that I know this group has been created I'll pass on the information to other people who will be interested.

Its great to see another Idaho "bandster" How are you doing? I am 6 weeks post-op.

Who is your doctor? If there is anything you need, just ask :)

I need to schedule my psych eval and dietitian consult. Who did you use and were you pleased with the interaction? Did you have to have a sleep apnea test overnight or did your primary care provider just do an overnight pulse oximetry and sleep apnea screen?

My surgeron is Dr. Anderson and his weight loss coordinator Jamee Brinkerhoff has been an amazing support. She is such an inspiration being a bandster herself. She looks gorgeous!

I'm going to let her know about this group so Jamee can get the word out to other Idaho bandsters. This is a great site!

I have seen a few people post on the forum that they are in Idaho. I would love to be able to get a group of us together, I know that support is a HUGE benefit and the more support we can get, especially locally, the better. I adore Jamee, she is an amazing person and is in the perfect position as the coordinator for Dr. Anderson. She knows her stuff and is a true testament of success. I'm here if you have any questions.

      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.
