November Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Angela,

I am tracking my calories on sparkpeople.com and I'm usually staying between 900 and 1200 a day. Thanks for the great tip about the pudding, I just got back from the Vitamin Shoppe and stocked up! My surgery is at noon on Tuesday, how about you?

Mine is Tuesday, but I do not know the time. You are keeping the calories low as if you were with the band already! WOW!

Just calling it "pudding" makes it sound yummy to me! :hungry: I can't wait to get some, but will probably have to wait until after I get back home from surgery. WOW, the date is here!!!

Happy Band Day to this week's group!! That means Lois, Angela, Jackye, dpingl, neicyrenee, ME, Kee, Grace and alix (in that order)!! Yeah to us!!!

Hope everyone has been makin' a list (pre-op and post-op) and checkin' it twice!! Don't forget to report back as soon as possible....

AZA--- don't worry, just like JDru, you will still be an Honorary Nov. Bandster...so keep posting here and let us know how things are going, OK?

Good luck to all!! :clap2:

dpingl, hang in there!! I think alot of us had to have a cardiac clearance before surgery, at least I did. Unless they find something really bad, I don't think it will keep you from having surgery. And look at it this way, if there is some problem, at least you are getting it checked out early and thoroughly. I have atrial fib as well as 2 bad heart valves that will need to be replaced soon....but they are allowing me to have the surgery!! So I am hopeful for you! Besides, you are one of our "Gang of 3", Nov. 8 Bandsters, so you have to be there with us, y'hear?? Let us know on Monday how it goes, please!! And we will keep you in our prayers this weekend!!

Yes, I'm going to change my title now! Weee!

The surgery was easy and I was surprised by that. The most difficult part is the gas! Please, walk around to get it moving. I don't have pain from the incisions and am already off the pain medication. It's just the gas that I'm still having to get rid of. So far I've already lost 8 lbs since Thursday's surgery 3 days ago. Not bad!

My mouth is dry, that's about it. I'm happy to be banbed, and am just praying that this tool works well for me in the long run.

Best wishes to those whose turn is coming up this month! May your time be as easy as mine was, or easier, if that's even possible!! :biggrin1:

      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.
