Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi, Cherea,

Glad to hear you are doing so well. I am so excited for next week to come! I just went out to Albertson's & got a pack of RubberMaid 4 oz containers with lids. I'm going to make up some broth, etc. ahead of time & have them in the freezer ready to heat up. I also bought 20 small Fat Free Yogurts. I'm getting ready!!

Breadlady is still among the missing. Very strange since she wa posting every day even while she was at the lake. Hope all is well.

Dini hasn't been on since last night, I don't think.

We're leaving in the morning for three days in Canada & I'm really going to miss my new favorite website and all of you!!

:canada:

Phyl, Have a fun safe trip in Canada. I bought some small rubbermaid containers too so I can make some frozen Slimfast and Protein power "ice cream" like Lynette does.

Sure is quiet around here without Dini posting...;)

I was just looking at my ticker and I can't believe it is only 14 days to surgery. Time really does fly when you are having fun with your other Lucky #7s.

CONGRATS to all newbies.

Are you hungry post-op? I am having a strange experience. My doc has no pre-op diet, but makes up for it in a brutal three week post-op diet. This week I'm on Clear Liquids plus Protein Shakes. Thing is I get hungry, I notice. But its not that desperate, gnawing sensation that I would do anything to get rid of. I look at Cookies, but can say no pretty easily to them.

I can't wait to get real flavor - but that's more about boredom.

I am so happy to be free of that horrible compulsion to eat.

mommamiranda, are you putting any unflavored powder into your clear broths, Water, etc? This will help you out.

Phyl, have a great trip up north. We'll miss you around here.

Greetings everyone:

I am so excited. My surgery was to be on Thursday, 7/19, but my doctors office called and asked if I would care to be done on Monday the 16th instead. Of course, I said yes.

Chimboree - please change my date.

Lynette - what is unflavored powder and where do you buy it?

Your son is adorable and your hubby is a hunk.

I can't wait. I am so happy to be entering bandland with all you great Lucky 7's.

I vote for the Mexico cruise - my mom did it last year and had a great time. I like Alaska but its too pricey for me (I blew my cash on the self-pay) and I don't want to be away from my kids (2 and 6) that long.

Mexico sounds good to me, too! The Greek Isles sound better, but I'm with mommiranda - too pricey for me.

I just started getting hungry this evening. I never realized how much I eat out of boredom! Have you tried Jello? I got some of the ready made jello cups and one of those will help me feel full pretty well. Hang in there! ;)

Mexico sounds great to me too.

anywhere sounds great to me. I will have to start saving now. Who was it that was going to save $10 for every pound they lose. What a great idea.:whoo: I will have more than enough for a cruise if I do that :biggrin1:

MsPris, congrats on getting the date moved up. WOW, only 4 more days for you.

You can get unflavored Protein powder just like the vanilla and chocolate, but you use it in your puddings, yogurt, Soups, cottae cheese, anything you want really. I bought the Jay Robbs at a local store but you can find it on line also at Jayrobbs.com. If you google unflavored protein powder, you'll find hundreds of manufactures. I've been told to get the whey isolate powder as it's the purest and something about the way your body absorbs it (or doesn't) but it's supposed to be the best for after surgeries like this according to my Dr.

If you use this in your Snacks and meals, it help you have that full feeling longer.

mommamiranda, does Mexico have the hurrican season like the Carribean?? I've never been there so I don't know.

Sunny, that was Dini that said that about the $10 for every pound. Wonder where she's been today? Maybe she had a day off and is having a nice evening out with Adam. But then it's actually 2:15am her time, so maybe it went well and they're home now!!!

      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.
