February 2014 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! Just updating. I was suppose to have my last evaluation appointment Wednesday, BUT since the chaos with the snow (I live in Georgia), I had to reschedule my appointment twice! My wonderful sweet doctor, whom usually doesn't see patients on Friday, made a special exception and squeezed me in this morning. So this morning I submit my paperwork and keep my fingers, toes, & eyes crossed and hope for the best! So I'll be the late bloomer of the group :-)

Question... have any of you purchased a blender? I was looking into getting a ninja to help with the Protein Powder. I tried shaking some up in a bottle... needless to say the result was less than desirable. My mother insists I should get a Vitamix, but I just don't see myself dropping $600 on a blender. Any suggestions?

I have a ninja and I got the one that came with the big blender and 2 individual cups. When I make my shakes I use the cups. I love the ninja. What part of GA do you live at? I live outside of Columbus and Ft. Benning. My doctor is Albany, GA

That's what I was looking at. I think that's the one I'm going to get. It seems to have the versatility I need. My blender died from Bacardi overdose. Bless my lil Myrtle's soul. She went out like a trooper! ;-) Yes! I'm in Macon. My doctor has an office in Albany. Who do you go to if you don't mind me asking?

Yes! Get you a good one. You don't need to spend $600 but it would be worth it! Spend at least $200. You'll use it a lot for a long time.

      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.
