October 2012 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Thanx cause I'm getting a bit down n out ... Thought I'd be in my merry way by now ....

That's why when someone without a clue says "you took the easy way out", is full of crap. It ain't easy, but its doable!

I have noticed that about a lot of foods. I am glad because I won't have the urge to binge eat on those foods. Aren't you glad?

I agree...it makes such a difference to know I won't be tempted to gorge myself on that stuff! That and knowing how many calories are in take away food makes me realise how not worth it that kind of stuff is!!!

Btw-join the blessed December challenge thread...the November one really kept me motivated!!

Awesome! I really liked November's...having to post my weight every week sure made me want it to be a loss so I worked even harder for it! I beat my goal last month by 2 lbs so hopefully it'll be a good month this time despite all the Christmas temptation!

      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.
