January 2013 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I got my approval letter today from Insurance :). Hopefully I will get my surgery date tomorrow. I'm hoping I will be a January bandster. My dr requires a full liquid diet for 10 days so it's going to be close. Getting nervous now.

Where did you get your chewable multiple-vitamin? Any suggestions? My dr said no gummies. Also I just got the twin lab chewable calcium citrate and they are really sour. Anyone have suggestions on those?

I got some from Unjury made specifically for Lap Band patients. They were super nice when I called to order Protein Powder and send several free samples of Vitamins and other flavors of Protein powder

Thanks. I was looking at theirs. I'm going to order some of the cheese sauce I think. I ordered the chicken and unflavored Protein. And am going to try the fuzzy navel Syntrax Nectar. I just got my approval letter so I'm hoping my surgery date will be soon. Just waiting to be scheduled. :) I have completed everything. Excited and nervous at same time!

Hey everyone, I had my surgery yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty good. I had a hiatal hernia they found and repaired while they were in there. Not too many gas pains. I've been walking around a lot. Some incisional pain on the lower left. All in all, feeling good! Also, started out at 331lbs and was 307 lbs yesterday, so I was really happy. Good blood pressure and cardiologist said a healthy heart, so I've been in really good spirits. Since I'm in mexico I also got a tooth fixed for dirt cheap.

Anyway, good luck to you all, let's keep in touch!

      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.
