Hi all,

I'm new to this board, & a new bandit too.

I'm Fee from the NSW South Coast & I was banded on 31 January. Including pre-op diet, I've lost 9kg so far, gotta be happy with that!

I'm totally addicted to scrapbooking, photography & my computer, but I really need to move my butt a bit more now:rolleyes

Look forward to chatting!

Hi Feebs, My name is Susannah and I was banded on 2/2/07. I lost 6 kgs on Optifast, and 2 since banding. I am 11 days out so I have not yet been able to resume my exercise program to the full extent. I guess I will start losing more once I am able to start exercising again.

Welcome anyway.

Susannah

Hi Loretta anmd all..........

22 more sleeps !!!!! OMG

well after yesterday im still stressing!!. Respiratory function tests on the 28/2 could prove to be a problem. Can i borrow someones lungs as mine are stuffed. Well the Physician knows the op is on the 9/3 so im sure if he wanted me to also have sleep studies then he would have booked me in for them too. Im off for an ECG today.

Someone told me on another site .... dont stress. he will just be checking your lungs so they can keep a closer eye on you if there are any problems there.....

Anyway... i didnt sleep at all last night.... lots of thoughts racing in my head. Ive decided that i am going to start Optifast today ( just under 3 weeks to op). I know Dr Nottle didnt indicate i needed to go on it but im going to prepare myself as best i can. Ive had my many Hotcoss Buns and easter eggs so im happy now :hungry: .

Still loving my band. I've lost 33kg now, & have 27 to go. Hoping I'll make it by the end of the year:)

      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.
