Anyone getting banded in Nov?



Recommended Posts

Novemvber 20th is my banding date. I am having some anxiety about this. Not so much the actual surgery, but how well I will do afterward. I am excited to beccome healthy, have energy and less pain with joints etc., Just a tad jumpy at this new life coming my way. Anyone else feeling this?

@@yaya1397 @@Yadiordz Howdy there November 2013 Banders! We have similar stats, I believe -- it's been a marvelous year. Could I have lost more than 67 pounds? Well, maybe, but I am not in this for a lot of hard work. Those dieting days are over. I am looking forward to dropping another 20 and seeing where I am then. We are AMAZING!

Today is my one year bandiversary! Weight day of surgery was 345lbs this am 315.8lbs

Not as low as my goal of 175lbs but I'll get there one day at a time! My band and I haven't always gotten along and as of right now she's in timeout with some Fluid removed- she was making her presents known too well with causing me pain. Hopefully next week she can get ungrounded and get her fluid back and start acting right again!

Today I feel pretty good. Been a rocky week. Getting use to this tightness feeling and gas is interesting lol. Just learning my body all over again with new taste buds and making myself drink because I have no hunger at all. How are you doing this week with everything?

I feel the same way with the gas! I was never really gassy before the surgery. Now I'm so gassy that when I walk I can feel it moving around inside me.

I just got over my Constipation and so concentrating on Water intake and getting my Protein in. One day at a time.

My 1 year anniversary is coming up on the 20th. This was the best decision I have ever made. Surgery went well, post surgery was good and I have only had a few nights of pain throughout this whole year. It was all my fault and ate way too much. I have lost 75lbs and hope to lose about 40 to go. Good luck to all new bandsters it's going to be a good thing. I finally have my life back. ????

      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.
