Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Any aussies may have seen my story on today tonight on channel 7 on the 14th of august. I have organised a team of lap banders to run in the samsung melbourne marathon. We are still looking for members and as much support as we can. We will be throwing one hell of a lap band party. Check out my web site for more info at:

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately I missed seeing your story on TT - is there a copy of it floating around anywhere on the www (couldn't find it on the TT website).

The Herald Sun article was interesting, also did you see the story in August Notebook: magazine (www.notebookmagazine.com) about Anissa Levy, who was banded in 2003?

I'll work on being in the 2007 marathon team - I doubt that I'd be fit enough in time for this year's event. I'll come and organise the cheerleaders for you if you want...

Cheers,

Anna.

PS your website is FANTASTIC! I've added it to my fav's.

Andy - Wow!

Another local comes out of the woodwork... I'll email you tonight when I get home... ...would love to support your team.

You might like to join us in Sept for a SE 'burbs meeting we are planning - see the thread "Mulgrave Bandsters - EPCP" in the Aussie section for details.

Regards,

Anna.

      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.
