Recommended Posts

I'm getting banded on the 29th of January, 2013 and looking forward to it!!!!! I would love to chat with others who have been there and can lend advice...and maybe a few who are also being banded in January! I work better when I have a 'buddy' to lend support and travel the journey with me.

My day is Tuesday the 22nd and would love to keep in touch with everyone banded in January to share experiences, motivate each other and lend support. I chose not to tell any friends because I have not one who is remotely overweight and I didn't think any of them would understand my struggle. My mom and husband are the only one's who know and it's very lonely not shareing all of this with more people. Congratulations and Good Luck to all the January Bandsters!!

No date yet...still waiting. :-( A lot of confusion at the doc's office so hopefully thing will get resolved and I will know my date this week. The canadian health system is not the greatest to say politely.

      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.
