Bandster Hell?!?!



Recommended Posts

Four weeks out and I am in what I believe you guys have been warning about "Bandster Hell" I am having a horrible time sticking to my diet rules, am hungry all the time, and am justifying mashing a cheeto to dust in my mouth as a puree food. UGH! Help!

(I wrote my blog on this very thing FYI if you are interested to hear the whole ordeal)

(Next appointment Friday!! Should get my first fill =)

Every one goes through Bandster Hell, I think. If you are hungry try putting clear polish on your nails and by the time they dry hopefully the urge will be gone. I have been doing that for about 25 years.

Technically 30 since my pre-op started on Feb 18th....so about 6 weeks.

I got the shirt at cafepress.com....just put lapband in the search box

I got the milestone numbers on etsy.com...they are technically baby milestone stickers LOL!

      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.
