May 2007 Banders

May Miracles doesn't feel right for this non-religious person... and perhaps some others, too.

Right of course. I was not thinking of miracle in a religious sense, but that is me!

May Motivators?

Hey...do you guys know if we can put a poll IN a thread... or does it have to be a separate thread?? Maybe we can put a poll up for our new name... Mayzie Daisies, May Poles (my favorite), MayFlowers, May Minis... and all the other great suggestions.. (I like the ide of adding a slogan too.)

That's a great idea! I wonder, too. Personally, I like Mayflowers. It reminds me of the pilgrims journey to the "new world". In a way, we are all new pilgrims on our own journey to find our "new worlds".

I love all the suggestions! My jr. High teacher called me slats when I was a kid because I was tall and flat as a board! May Pole brings back some memories, now I look nothing like a board . . . . more like a balloon!

The journey idea is great because we are definately on the journey to our new world!!! Gotta go to nutrition class . . . bye

sillywillymommy - I suggested May flowers way back on page 6 of this thread but no one responded. I still like the name! We could put it right under our name and then no matter what thread we were on everybody would know we were part of the May banders. I like it as one word 'Mayflower" and then something catchy like 'bloomin from within' or something like that.

Wenjea,

I second that! Catchy little name. I think it will be nice to see at a glance the other May bandsters!

Oh dear, talk about a nightmare!! Last night I dreamed I ate a filet mignon. I could even smell it. I guess Day 8 of just liquids got to me! Even a plain head of lettuce sounds appealing. How scary. It is MUCH better now, but still!

NVGirl, phuber40 and PghMomof3,

Good luck to all of you! Prayers are being said!

I LOVE the daisy logo! (I might even find a little spot to put a tattoo like that on my flat belly in a year or so!!! HA! I wish!)

Anyway, I like all the ideas...I think my fav so far is Mayflowers. (kind of reminds me of the pilgrims, though...but...they DID embark on an exciting journey!!)

For all of you on the "other" side, thanks for your updates. It sure makes me less nervous about the whole thing.

Everyone have a great week...only 4 days to go! Can't believe it's here!

I like the daisy and the slogan, but could we get it without the black background? It seems kind of depressing............ I don't know if we could maybe make it smaller, that way with our tickers it would not take up a whole lot of room. Just a thought........

I like this one too but we should ask the guys if they have any objections.

My first post. I'll be banded May 17th..I'm so glad to join you.

I do have a funny story to share.

I went to my doctor appointment on Friday, and saw, in the waiting room, someone who regularly posts here. I've been reading for months, and when I saw her, I immediately knew who she was. It was like seeing a celebrity.

I didn't say anything...it felt a bit like stalking. ("Hey, you don't know me, but I know who you are." It was just funny.

Anyway, good to be here.

      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.
