LDS Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I don't currently have trouble with my restriction and the block meetings. I am hungry by the time it's over (9-12) but we go to the 11-2 schedule in a couple of weeks. I still don't think this will mean much since I'll just plan to eat before I go, or I'll take a snack. Frankly, being a teacher is more of a pain with this than church. 30 mins to inhale a lunch....lol, my inhaling days are OVER. Slime & PB are my friend if I go to fast, so, the block is actually pretty good.

Anyway, I'd just take a snack. There's diabetics in the ward I'm sure and just like them, it's a medical condition. (I know, I really am not concerned if folks know I had surgery or not....don't care about other people's opinions all that much...lol)

Good luck.

Annette

That is a good idea... something to nibble on.

I will try that. First I have to find something I won't slime on...and the only thing that I can eat as much as I want and more and don't slime...

Peanut M&Ms....hahahah

I'll have to figure something else out.

If things work out well, by May, we'll be moving somewhere not so out in the middle of nowhere.

Where is the best city to live for post-Lap Band Surgery after care/support?

Hello, and welcome to the world of banding! I am also LDS and was banded in August. I live in Arizona and was banded in Mexico. I have had 2 fills and can tell I am almost ready for the 3rd. I guess there are more LDS bandsters out there than I thought. Good luck on your journey. Sheila

Ok, is anyone as excited as i am that we are learning about Joseph Smith in RS for the nest 2 years! Did you have an introduction to it today? Wow! I am a convert and don't know a lot of details, just the basics and what an Amazing man he was. He died at 38! and changed the world in his few short years. I am so excited for this manual!

well, i won't be in RS,but we are also reading it in PH of course. I remember my first visit here to MO and up to Carthage, and Nauvoo for the open house...Carthage jail was a very powerful place to be. My wife and i were married in Nauvoo temple shortly after.

that's awsome. The most "mormon" place I've been is Salt lake and St. George. And of course all the temples we've been to. Salt Lake has been my favorite so far. The live sessions are amazing!

I was called as an assistant nursery leader just before Thanksgiving, so when I read the note about Joseph Smith I had to ask my hubby if that is the book this year, yep I am just out of the circle being with the kids but I enjoy them.

Teach them about Jesus and Joseph Smith will be fun. I get to teach 'Heavenly Father has a body' next week.

Hi! I am LDS and living in Houston, TX. I was banded on 6/28/07. I'm glad to see other LDS bandsters on here. I am going in for my second fill on Wednesday and can't wait. My weight loss has been at a stand still for the past 6 weeks.

I am still struggling with emotional eating. Does anyone have suggestions? What to do instead of eating for comfort?

I was banded 6/11/07 and I'm down 60 lbs today. I'm really stepping it up and setting a heafty goal for 10 lbs a month until my band-a-versary! I want to be at 175 by 6/11/08. I haven't weighed that much since in 20 years! I'm glad to see there are other members on this board. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself and it's great to share it with others who believe the way I do.

i'm guessing your bishop would say pray and read the scriptures

      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.
