Ending The Year With A New Me!



Recommended Posts

Getting banded December 17th. 9 days before my 49th birthday. For years and years all I ever wanted for Christmas or my birthday was to be smaller. I was given a healthy body that I have slowly and steadily ruined with food. I have been blessed with a second chance to undo the damage.

Please wish me luck.

Chez and Mads, you guys are just what the doctor ordered.

Thank you for all the positive vibes to date, and I know you'll help me.

Can't say that to many people in my real world.

Just remember you are doing this for you, no one else. If the ppl in your real world doesn't support you, it doesn't matter. This is your time!!!! I know you do a lot for others, now it's time to take care of you!

Woohoo, we're going to rock it! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it........

Banjo, it's all about a new YOU. YOU will do the pain, suffering and disappointments from the surgery and band or whatever type you do. BUT, you have pain already and maybe starting health issues right now. YOU are doing the right thing in getting control of your body and maybe some positive health. The band is NO guareentee, but its one of the best tools out there to help us eat less. WE still have too make all the correct choices when we do eat.

I'm so happy for you because you have been thinking about this for sometime and for whatever reason, now is the time for this to happen. I'm sure you will do great after surgery as we all our doing. It will be one step forward each day for the rest of your life.

Congratulations and Best Wishes for your new YOU. YOU will enjoy your new Body! HUgs

      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.
