Aug. 4 band dates unite!



Recommended Posts

Hello to all!

I am new to this site after lurking around for about 2 months. I am really impressed by all the support each one of you gives to one another. Talk about a safe haven from the cruel cruel world! I applaud each one of you for taking the steps toward a healthier lifestyle.

I wanted to find all of the Aug 4 pre-bandsters out there. As they know, we started our 7 days of liquids today and we need to unite quickly. Let me hear from you. Today begins the journey of a lifetime! :clap2:

I'm Aug 4th too! But just a wee suggestion-put this out on the general lapband discussion instead of the introduction page. Maybe more people will answer. I dunno. Anyway I know I asked you what time your surgery was-it would be really wild if it was the same time even if it was in different time zones. I have to be there by 6:30 am and the actual surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am. Thats eastern time since I'm in Boston.

I thought about asking this too-I'm glad you did.

Here's to August 4th!!!!

Hey, I'm a fourthie too!

I'm in Texas and I'll be having mine around 12:30p.m (that's 11:30a your time Diva).

Diva, I'll be thinking of you at 8:30 my time. Actually I may still be asleep but I'll think of you when I wake up. :bananapartyhat:

      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.
