Any other September 2013 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

How are we doing folks? Any concerns/doubts/victories to share? You think for a group in the verge of banding we would be more talkative!

Are any of you going to write letters to children or to yourself before surgery? I am thinking of writing one to my little girl, a just in case one telling her how much i love her and why I am pursuing this. And maybe one to myself to read when things get hard.

I have been thinking of the what ifs.. and I know its just my anxiety but I feel I wanna write something, Maybe just stick it in my mail box.. just in case... and I like the idea of one, when it gets hard.

Dmh102, what is the hold up on getting you a date?

Fee139, good luck and please check in as soon as you can so we know you made it through safely. I'm sure you'll be up and around in no time!

My friend is a coach and she said that one of her girls had laproscopic surgery and was playing again in 2 weeks. I hope I am able to recover quickly too. (But I know to take it slow!)

I do not know what is holding up the date. I think it is a matter of someone in the drs office calling me to set a date. I called yesterday and will call tomorrow and leave another message...

      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.
