Hi....Britrish newbie here!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone...just found this site and although I'm British, hope you don't mind me joining you. My name is Suzanne and I was banded on 9th February 2007. I have no idea what I weighed before as I am just too paranoid to know and will know how much (if anything) I've lost on Tuesday 27th March when I get my post op check. I think I might be due a fill but to be honest, my restriction is still really good so might give it a miss...will be advised by my surgeon. I've made a ticker for my posts (if I remember to use it!) and have just put a target weight on it as I have no other information.

Thanks for letting me join you.

Hi there, I'm a British Bandster as well! I was banded on February 13th and I am having my first fill on Wednesday. I haven't weighed for over a week but last weekend my weight loss stood at 18.5lbs which isn't bad considering I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. I live in the West Country so if you live in or happen to be in the same area you're very welcome to come round for a coffee !!lol!!

Hi! Good to read you! Sadly I am in the West Midlands so too far for coffee.

I don't weigh myself...I have no idea what I was before so it wouldn't tell me anything useful anyway, but will know Tuesday if I've lost any. I MAY tell them not to tell me as I get so paranoid about it...LOL

Good luck with your journey and look forward to comparing notes.

Hi Becky

Thanks for the welcome! You're in Australia? I had planned to be in Queensland next week for a month but postponed my trip so that I could have my surgery, Will now go around the end of the year or early next.#

Thanks again for the welcome.

Love

      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.
