Newly banded



Recommended Posts

Happyhayley15 - I meant the shy stuff for you. :embarassed:

Hey Donna, I will be banded on 9-28. I am starting out at 221. Not too far above you before the band. I am a therapist, for sexually abused children. I saw in your profile that you are going to school for psychology. Just wanted to touch base since it seems we have stuff in common. I live in Auburn, AL. We are both southern girls too! I am very excited about getting banded. I will go to Mexico. Write back if you want

Donna, there are so many ways of being smart. Life experience counts. Your comments and suggestions have always been so wisely put, and so helpful. I know you were really just joking, but don't sell yourself short!

Hi Lisa,

Pat in Markham here. Did Dr. Yau do your surgery? That's who I had and I'm doing good. Will get my first fill on the 24 of Sept.

It dosn't seem that long ago that I was a "virgin" too (Donna you made me laugh!)

I quess I am a FILL VIRGIN as I just got my top up yesterday at TBLC

Everything went well, and I am eating ever so gently today... Scrambled egg at 6 a.m. and now a Pudding/w Pro. powder...

I am looking forward to tuna salad at lunch (can't beleive I am looking forward to fish?) but the more experienced bandsters say fish is tolerated well and is moist.

Getting in all the Water is tricky, as I am used to just Chugging it all down. Oh well, lots of NEW habits to learn for us all.

Good luck on your journey, and post often...

I love coming onto this site. as it keeps BOTH my hands busy [wink, wink] and my computer is far away from the fridge LOL :heh:

Oh Donna, my weight is not melting off...

my 240 start wgt is NOT what I started at in my Band Journey.

I had lost the first chunk (lol) by WW, Hypnosis, Meridia, excersise etc. but then after a whole year of plateauing I got scarred that I was going to put my 50 back on plus more!(again, like I've always done in the past)

So that's when I made up my mind to do the Lap band once and for all,

so in my signature, you'll see 240/190ish/ my current wgt today/ and my goal of 130...

So there you have it in a nutshell

      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.
