Recommended Posts

gladster12, what your mom said is true, and we also have to try a little harder to be accepted, and that's not right either.

Gladster, you are right! I would rather be with a "nice" person with a few extra pounds, than a snot that thinks they are all "it" because they are thin!!!! Any day of the week!!!!! We are really just regular people, with big hearts, and a craving for success!!!! We will get that one, by darn!!!!

I guess it's time to start wishing our July 6 Bandsters some good luck,

so Snaggletooth and Mommiranda, best of luck to both of you tomorrow.

Hope you're back with us shortly letting us know how you are.

Still looking for Laurend and Abbey to post from Tuesday, and our banders from today, cherrybomb and LWesson. You all are in my prayers for a speedy recovery!!!

Yes, Snaggletooth and Mommiranda, we are praying for both of you. Let us know what you're thinking and feeling right now.

And our latest banders, Cherrybomb and LWesson, we hope all went well for you today. Pop in as soon as you get a chance!!!. :)

Snaggletooth, so sorry about your visitor. Was it that time? Maybe you're just stressing, and it will be gone tomorrow?

Yes, mourning is ok. A lot of people do this at some point before, but it's really nothing to worry about. You'll be fine. Just remember, it's only going away for a short time. You'll be able to eat most foods again just not in the amounts you're used to. Just think, you can party with your Protein shakes, and a little "Spike" or two!!

Hey, I'll keep bringing on the new concoctions I'm trying. I'm telling ya, keep it interesting and this liquid diet is in the bag!!!:whoo:

Welcome suzielondon, and congrats on your July date. We're a great bunch.:)

Lynette,

Question for you (or anyone who has already been banded). I was wondering how long you are able to actually sit up for at one time. I live 5 hours away from where I'm getting banded and I'll be in Phoenix from next Monday to Friday, but I'm concerned about the drive home. I know that everyone heals differently, but I just thought I'd ask you all.

Thanks in advance for any input!! :)

      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.
