Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

i'm fine now of course its not Annafrancesca fault at all, i get that, what i'm pissed at is Adam he's an insensitive ASS. .

ok so 2 questions.

1st one for people who are banded.

have you had any back pain since been banded?, if so do you know whats its from...

2nd question! for people not banded... (i'm trying not to discriminate)

How do you deal with back ache and also what do you use!?

i've never suffered with back ache and I'm not handling it too well

Dini, is it in the upper or lower back? If it's in the upper back, it can still be gas trapped from surgery, or stress. It it's lower, maybe you bent down the wrong way and didn't realize it. Have you tried some Tylenol, or maybe put the heating pad on it for a while.

Sorry Adam is being such an ass to you. You don't deserve that, and I'd make him apologize for it.

Dini, we have biofreeze over here too. I used it frequently while training for my marathon.

Just a thought, but if it's lower backpain, and you haven't had a bowel movement yet, it could be the culprit.

according to my Surgeons in Canada (TLBC) Day 6 to Day 16 post op you can go to FULL FLUIDS;, Creamy Soups -strained, protien shakes, skim milk, Jello, yogurt, diet puddings,

Then the pureed Diet 14 days in total, from DAY #17 - Day # 31 eat any foods your familyis having just put it thru a blender, Baby food is also a great alternative (especially if you are traveling), Cottage cheese, hot cerial, minced canned tuna, mashed pototoes, pureed Beans, yougurt, preed chicken, pureed carrots & fruit...

I don't know HOW you are going to keep this from your traveling buddies.. Good luck with that...

DAY #32 (post op) you can slowly start SOLID foods, and onwards from there

Our Cost here (not covered by insurance plans) is $16,000 payable in advance...

Hi Peaches, I'm being banded at TLBC too by Dr. Yau. My date is July 26th. What's yours? I start the yogurt/cottage cheese pre-op diet next week. Did my pre-op tests today.

Kathybad, I read your post and that you are getting 'done' on July 23rd at TBLC.... I am scheduled next Wed at HIGH NOON ( at the o.k. corral) I am getting so excited I can hardly c ontain myself... had all my blood work, ECG this a.m. and Chest Xray yesterday... hopefully the FAXES will get to wear they need to be on time!!!

To all the Bandsters here:

I was not an overweight child or even teenager, although I was a compulsive overeater and SUGAR-holic even then... I got away with it as I was very active, sports, drama, Judo etc...

but after I got married ( bliss!) I started taking on the 'happy' fat.... you know what I mean?

My Dh and I LOVE ICECREAM and we would buy a 2L and eat the whole thing in one or two nights... that was our 1st yr of marriage.

By the time we decided to have a family 4 yrs later, I was up to 135 from my ideal 120-125 range... WELL

while preggers I went up to 169 ( I can't wait to be THERE again!) which was a tremendous amount... my whole family made no bones about telling me how huge I was....

After DD was born, I dropped teh lbs within 6 mos.. not because of dieting but mostly PP Depression... 1st time in my life I COULD not eat.

Then within one year of her 1st Bday I started to climb again... did various diets, WW (lifer), JennyC, Beverly Hills W/L program, Herbal Magic, Xenical, Meridia, WW sprinkled in several times here or there... every time I lost wgt, it was like I was at Maintainance for about ummm 5 minutes.... then regain everythign +++

So here I am 100+ lbs over a healthy weight for my stature... I've managed in 2005 to lose 45lbs by going to the gym 4 times a week, Treadmill, eliptical, bike, weights... but this past year my WEIGHT will not budge from 195..

That's when I decided to do the Lap, been considering it for a year..

My Surg is costing $16K in Canada... but I figure if left to my own devices and I put all this weight on agian... I'd be dead.... and it would cost $16 to bury me LOL

So this is an INVESTMENT in ME

Nice chatting with you all,, sorry I was so long winded. PEACHES

I didn't know about that. They mentioned these, but not the dates. I'm from London, so it would be a bit of a drive. I'll have to see if I can swing it.

      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.
