May 2007 Banders



Recommended Posts

mommalee,

Yes! It must be the hydration, I have not been drinking enough water! Thanks! It is one of those "I can't believe I didn't figure it out" moments!! (embarassed).

Glad that helped! Its nothing to be embarrassed about:nervous -I had to remind myself to drink Water sometimes too--in fact I even have to do that now that I am banded....sip sip sip

I went shopping and bought a "goal" outfit. It was nice to buy something of the rack instead of going to a "big girl" store. My outfit is hanging in my closet so I see it everytime I walk in there. Anyone else do anything special as motivation?

I bought an XL spandex work out outfit today. I can sqeeze into it now but its not pretty and the back of the shirt rolls up on me. I am using it as motivation to work out, and using it in my pictures as I progress. Its very exciting!

Can you all beleive that we are almost through the first week of May????

I am so glad I found other May banders to chat with while I was awaiting my band date (the 3rd). I feel like it helped me be even more prepared for my surgery and its sure nice not to feel all alone....You're a great bunch.

I am feeling pretty darn good, other than a bit tired :notagreeand some soreness in the port area. Didnt need to take any pain killer today--planning a little walk outside in a while since its a beautiful day here in So Oregon.

My birthday is May 15th and on that date I get to add baked fish, chicken, cooked veggies to my diet--:hungry:what a nice present for me!!

BEST WISHES TO OUR MAY 7 BANDSTERS

To all the May bandsters coming up this week....It will go fine! Take good care of yourselves afterwards, rest, take your meds and don't rush your post-op diet!

So I have a weird question, because I am quite a modest person, I have just started wondering what exactly do we wear during the surgery?

Kaylali,

Funny you should ask, I asked the same question. I was told a johnny...JUST a johnny. Don't know why, but I figure, they're only seeing what they need to see, the rest, I'm told, is covered. Besides, I guess if I'm asleep, I really don't care.

Hi Susansilver,

I am having my surgery tomorrow at 12:00, thank you for the

encouraging words. I am really getting the jitters now and watching

my older sons face with the look of worry isn't helping matters. And this is the night before. Just the thought of kissing them good-bye

in the morning and not knowing what is going to happen is so scary.

I guess you just have to have faith in God. And I know the reason for doing this in the first place is to be able to live a long healthy, life and see them grow up. I just need to ramble on I guess. Thanks for listening.

Hi all May Bandsters! I am glad to hear that those of you who have had your surgery are doing pretty well. Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

So, I have a question. In order to get ready and motivated (and to keep my nerves from driving me insane while waiting for my surgery), I went shopping and bought a "goal" outfit. It was nice to buy something of the rack instead of going to a "big girl" store. My outfit is hanging in my closet so I see it everytime I walk in there. Anyone else do anything special as motivation?

That's great that you went and got a motivating outfit. I totally love shopping and dont want to ever buy another outfit at the size I am. So I have been getting motivating outfits at every size so that just as quick as I get into one outfit I can begin looking forward to the next size down. I mean I am going to need clothing while getting to my goal weight, right? he he or maybe that is just my excuse to continue shopping.

You're gonna do great! You'll be going into surgery just as I should be getting home - I'll be thinking of you!!

Wen & Wenjea-Today was day five for me. I weighed this morning and was down 6.6 lbs. I guess that kind of made me feel better. I find myself smelling the kids snacks...........weird I know! The bowls are okay. Not as regular as normal, but still going. I am Protein & Vitamin loading though, so that may be different.

Can someone tell me about better than boullion? What does that do different than just broth?

I do my pre-op on Friday. Getting really excited!

One of my friends is Macysgranny's niece. She said that her surgery didn't go well on Friday. I think she had to have another surgery, something about her band being to tight. Not quite sure! Keep her in your prayers.

Hello all! I'm on for May 21 and am thrilled to have found this place :( I've never had surgery and am a bit scared of the whole process and post op pain even though I work in the medical field and know better

good luck to all who are going this week!

:)

I wanted to thank everyone for their good wishes and support! I'd be much more nervous going into surgery tomorrow morning without you guys!

I'll type to you on the other side!

Can someone tell me about better than boullion? What does that do different than just broth?

There isn't anything different about Better than Boullion. Some of the pflavors have 1 whole whopping gram of Protein in each serving, which I guess is better than 0. But they do taste a lot better than the dry crystals or the cubes of boullion. Just a consideration, once the jar is opened, it must be refrigerated.

There are TONS of flavors:

      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.
