Support Group For Dfw Banders!!



Recommended Posts

ready to do this? I am. So darned ready.

YES! Had my pre-op appt this afternoon and I am first on the list in the morning!! I have to be there by 6am! I am hoping I can trust my 3 boys to get ready and off to school on time. I think I am more nervous about that than I am about the surgery itself. :)

Hey y'all! I'm in Fort Worth. I'm on "old" bandster. I was banded in April 2008. I've done extremely well until about 6 months ago. I started a new job, stopped running and have managed to gain 20 pounds. Basically I got compliant and fell off the wagon. So I've come back to this site to remember what it is I'm supposed to be doing and get back on track. Congrats to all of you newly banded. I still consider the band the best thing I've ever done for myself and would do it again in a heartbeat!!

      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.
