JULY 2013 BAND BUDDIES

[GeorgeSeifert 49]

Ok fellow bandsters I just found out I got the sleeve instead of the band. I'm not sure how to process that yet......tbc

That was my biggest fear while getting mine done because 50 people around me were getting the sleeve. The staff kept telling me about the sleeve and I kept telling them I was getting the lapband. However, not sure i would have been upset to get the sleeve.

George did you have your surgery in Mexico?

Ps is anyone hungry? I Ben having my small meals 2 to 3 oz and 60 grams of Protein and liquids but I am hungry more

I have been starving since my operation! I ate real food the day after. Along with liquid stuff, I ate some tuna today and a few crackers. I'm not a sweet guy, so all these hellos and Popsicles and Protein Shakes and sweet on top of sweet on top of sweet are to much for me!

My appetite is starting to return. It's because the swelling in or stomachs is starting to go down and we are healing. Just stick with band sized portions of whatever phase diet you are in and if necessary eat a bit more frequently.

I'm personally choosing to "white knuckle" it and if I'm hungry - well - isn't the first time and i will survive. I know I'm in the fastest time frame for loss that I will have and am trying to maximize it while getting all the nutrients my body needs to heal.

That's one way to do it.

All told, with airfare from Phoenix to San Diego and 2 nights in the hotel I'm at about $4500. That includes an extra $100 fee from the place for a guest and my guest airfare. If going alone, it's around $3800 not including airfare.
