April 2006 Bandits



Recommended Posts

Audra and whoever else reads this,

I should have less venting today. I am feeling alot better, the headache is slight and the energy level seems to have come up overnight. 2 protien shakes and cottage cheese or yogurt x 3 a day + unlimited broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free drinks is what is on my diet list.

What time is your surgery and where are having it done at?

I'm glad to hear that the headache is better and that the energy level is up. I am soooooooooooooo glad that I'm not on your diet though. There would lots of injured or dead small children where I teach. :heh:

My surgery will be at Plaza Medical Center in Ft. Worth, TX but I don't know what time yet. Since my pre-op is Thursday I'm guessing they'll let me know the time then.

I can't believe how close this is. It's the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing before bed. Unfortunately grad school needs to have some of my thought time and it's hard to work it in. But the thought of letting down my group for our project does help to keep my slightly on track.

This time next Sunday it will just be a few hours before we go in. Wow! :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Amourette, you have beautiful face:-)I love the skirt! it so sad that here in CZ we have only one store with chic fat clothes and they have only one collection (like two pair of pants, few jacket, and two kinds of skirts) not like torrid:-)I wish I could go shopping from time to time to the US. Hopefully I wont need it in couple of months.

Yeah, it did, not the best standard of photo though, this was me at my cousins wedding in Australia last week, I was very subconscious of what I was wearing and my weight, so made me a bit down, but more determined when I got back that I was doing the right thing!

I actually live in new zealand and there aren't many stores here either, i wish I could sew 'cos I think it would be a great business to start up. Here all the big clothes are the same and you see them on everyone else:mad:

Why is there a wheel in the tree in your photo, hehehehe!!!!

C´mon u look beautiful!

I know the feeling when u dont know if u look ok and when someone tells u that u do, u still think that they say it from pity. Hey stop thinking like that I quit it some time ago and it damn helps:-)

Also I know that my friends and my family love me for who I am and not how I look and I bet u whatever u want that its the same with u!

U r beautiful, smart young woman!

I would love to post about how my surgery is going but I will not be home for 3 or 4 days after my surgery :D when i get home it will be the first thing i do. i know that immediate post op stories have been my favorites to read about. i am always encouraged by the ones who are posting their stories the same day as their surgery.

      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.
