Governor Christy has a Lapband



Recommended Posts

Fox just reported that Christy got the band 2 months ago and has lost 40 lbs. The media is going to crucify him for this.

He actually got it done at NYU Langone Weight Management Center, (where I had it done), and used the same surgeon as Rex Ryan, (NY Giants manager).

Quite frankly, I think that may be one of the reasons he got this surgery. I know he wants to further his political career and losing weight will be to his advantage Healthwise but also politically. I hate to say it but image is an important part of politics. People would worry if he was healthy enough to run for president but if he slims down and his health improves, he'll have a better chance with his career.

      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.
