Chattanooga, TN Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Is there an active thread on here for Chattanooga Bandsters? I searched a little but couldn't find anything. Just curious? I figured there were enough of us to start one.

Hey Kim - I knew you were just from our May bandsters group. I think I have seen some of his posts. I think it would be neat if we could find enough Chattanooga bandsters to do a monthly or bi-monthly support gathering type thing. Maybe we will get some feedback from others. Technically I don't live in Chattanooga - I live in Cleveland, but I work downtown.

Alicia,

I'm from Chattanooga and work downtown also. Don't post very much but always read. I know of one other person on the boards from Chattanooga (Surby). There are a few postings under the Tennessee thread. I wouldn't mind some sort of get-together. I go to the support group meetings at Dr. Ponce's office but it would be nice to get to know others and really talk about all the nitty-gritty lapband stuff :)

maybe we could plan for something early December because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that tends to be busy for everyone. I'd love to meet with others though and talk about all of it! :peep:

Sounds fun....we can encourage each other and get psyched up for the holidays :peep: All of our surgery dates are pretty close to each other so we all should be dealing with a lot of the same things.

      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.
