October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hello all you October Bandsters. I was banded on Oct. 5th in Mexico, but Dr. Rumbaut. I have lost 10 lbs, but I am having lots of problems with gas. I have heard this is normal, I hope so. I seems that it is stuck in my stomach and won't move anywhere. Good luck to everyone!!!

You can get the bullet things at department stores like Kohls. Or they have a bunch of them on eBay. I don't have one yet, but that is what I have read on another chat board.

Pain in the shoulder is a referred pain. It is a result of the incision in the upper abdomen. Pain in the left arm during a heart attack is a result of the same process.

Congrats to all of the people newly " on the bandwagon". It is so great that you all check in and update us on your progress and experiences. Very valuable info for all of us who will be "with the band" soon. Ok, enough puns:)

Does anyone have a track of what state all of us Oct bandsters are from. I think it would be fun to maybe have a little local reunion some time down the road with the people who have gone through the same thing and live fairly close. Mabye a 1 yr reunion????

Also, Aza, good luck on the ride home. I too am not telling anyone except my hubby and one friend. I just don't want to have the discussion right now. It is hard to keep it to myself though. I have to tell a bunch of "white lies";)

      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.
