Any other September 2013 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

True Results in Scottsdale. Are you getting banded in Sept or have you gone through it. Where did you get banded?

I am also using True Results Scottsdale! I was there yesterday for my last Ins required weigh in! Now I'm just waiting for the call with my official surgery date! :) I am penciled in for Sept 27 as of right now if Ins approves me, but I am hoping to have the surgery moved up a week *fingers crossed!*

I am having surgery on Aug 27th. I feel horribly guilty because I have cheated twice on my liquid 2 week diet. Has anyone else had a slip up. Pre op?

Yes i have cheated a few times but i am trying my best. In fact i wss having a mental struggle about whether or not to eat a mini churro. But the runt71 asked someone else how they were doing and i snapped out of the trance. I have been so stressed that food consumes my mind. I have found that trying on some clothes that are too small helps. Also looking at myself naked in a full length mirror usually stops me from wanting to eat. Hang in there we...one way or another we can get through this.

I think everyone is doing awesome with their pre op diets slip ups and all! W are all human and going from being able to eat and drink any and everything to only being able to have a few Protein shakes and a small meal a day is rough for all of us!

I will be starting my pre op either Aug 29 or Sept 6 depending when I can get a confirmed surgery date! I am going to try my best not to slip, but if I do I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I am going to get back up dust myself off and learn from it! Every meals a new chance to make better choices! :)

I was strict for 4 days lost 10 pounds then after 2 more strict days nothing, so it discouraged me. Weird thing is I cheated with grilled chic sand. and lost another pound even after I cheated. Yet the guilt it consumes me.

I just read somewhere that you have to give you body "bad" food now and then when dieting so it knows you will still give it the fat it needs so it won't go into starvation mode. Don't know how true that is but if it works it works! :) congrats on te weight loss so far!

Don't let the guilt consume you! You made a healthy food choice for cheating it could have been much worse!

My pre-op diet starts today, so last night I went to the movies to have my usual. I love popcorn, hotdogs, candy, etc... After ordering it, I didn't even want it all. I ended pushing it underneath my seat and trashing it after the movie. My mind is made up and I'm ready for my new way of life!

      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.
