Band Caused the Gas!!!

Clouds are fluffy..

So is my ass

The band is good

For giving me bad gas

I stare at my ass

Scared of the gas

Thinking people will think I harrass...

But then from afar

I see who you are

An innocent bystander

Getting out of your car

"Oh No" I say

"Oh No, Not THEY"

But low and behold

To my dismay

It came to a head

Now people are dead

"It's the band, it's giving me gas!"

Upset and terrified I look back at my ass

Not very lady like and not very nice

But oh no.. oh not again... not twice

Rushed the groceries in the car

The door...ajar

Thank god I don't have to drive very far

;)

Cause I am waiting for my psych review to be sent to my Dr:

There should be a Band in my stomach,

Something to make me not stuff it.

I'm in quite a state,

The shrink makes me wait!

I want NOW to see my weight plummet!

O.K, what do I think about my band?

Upon this issue, should I make a stand?

For as you all do very well know,

Sitting won't help those pounds to go.

Move your body just exercise,

Good grief this thing'll be my demise!

Or maybe it'll be the thing to give,

Me a better life to live.

My kidneys too would give me a hug,

For all the Water I glug, glug, glug,

Not sure about my legs and knees,

Getting me to the bathroom in time to pee!

No more bread and no more coke,

Yeah but lotsa new clothes to make hubby broke!

No more junk food, says doctors letter,

Yeah but a healthier me and that's much better.

I chew my food 'til my teeth do ache,

Make it mushy for goodness sake,

Chew, chew, chew it all the time...

Or you'll PB with lots of slime!

Motivation and encouragement too I've found,

Didn't go far just searched around,

The internet...something for me,

And there it was - good old LBT.

In sickness, in health, for better, for worse,

Whether a blessing or whether a curse,

Right now for me, life's just grand,

And all I can say is...I love my band!

My body is losing its padding and things are becoming more uncomfortable! So I will express my thoughts in HAIKU:

Comfy chair despair

Bulging springs make my ass hurt

There is no justice!

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
