Any Delaware Bandsters out there!!!



Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there were any Delaware bandsters out there... I live in the Bear area and was curious. How is everyone doing. When were you banded and have you been successful. I wanted to wish everyone:gluck: . Still trying to find my comfort zone with the fills, but have lost 43lbs since being banded on April 27th. I am at a stand still right now.. eating more than I should be.. still in for the good fight though!!:)

I have had one fill 5cc and still feel no restriction. I dont have another appt til the 24th. I am not pleased with the Drs office when it comes to appts for fills. I had the first one on the 12th of July and i have tried to call back to get a fill with no help.

How about you, how are you making out?

Where do go to the doctors at? WOW!! That was a big fill. My doctor will only give me 1cc at a time... I going to make them give me at least 2 or 2.5 for my next appointment... I go to the Chrias Center near Pike Creek. I had the same problem with getting appointments until I complained. Now they schedule me when I call.... Do you work out alot... I was a workout queen for like a month and a half, then I went back to work and lost my drive... I'm trying to get back into a routine, but exercising... UGGHH!!! I just can't get motivated.

      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.
