GAY Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd start a thread for any gay people who've been bandeds or are about to get it done. I go in on Monday March 5th for mine. I live in Hollywood (land of the anorexic) & have found this site very helpful.

Hey there,

I was just cruising threads and came across this one and noticed your banding is coming up. I typed up DETAILS of my procedure and after (was banded on Tuesday (27). I post on my on journal for Synicalchick, feb bansters, march bandsters, bmi over 50 bansters and I started my own thread for non-christian bansters.

Good luck!

Tracy

Awww shucks,

Thanks for the support. I've been doing liquids now and am so over it. Can't wait to NOT be hungry. A little nervous about the actual surgery but excited as well.

BandSTAR is doing awesome. I am now 12 days post op. I have lost a total of about 33 lbs since this whole thing started. I had NO problems with the surgery. I decided to stay the night in the hospital (for the painkillers mainly). Came home to no pain and just a little gas. I went for my follow=up and all is well. The only complaints I would say would be I couldn't take a shower for all this time. My DOC said no way. Finally got to do that yesterday. Now I have some itching because they had to shave my belly (I is a little hairy down there) I am thrilled I did this, so far. I eat a little bit, like a normal person and am satisfied. I hope it keeps up. Thanks Chris for asking. Love ya.

      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.
