Recommended Posts

According to Adjustable gastric band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia these celebrities have been banded:

Khaliah Ali (daughter of Muhammad Ali)

Brian Dennehy

Anne Diamond

Joseph R. Gannascoli

Sharon Osbourne<SUP class=reference id=_ref-1>[2]</SUP>

Ann Wilson

Mikey Robbins

I don't know who many of them are. Also, Sharon Osbourne is having her band removed.

I'm going to be very curious to see what Sharon looks like a year after her band removal. I am rather surprised she opted for this because she was one BIG girl before her band (I know she said she had already put on something like 15 pounds).....

I read something that she was having her band removed in December and even in the past year (with the band) she has gained 15 pounds. She had lost 125 pounds with the band and after removal will rely on psychotherapy to cope with her weight issues. "I have to figure out why I do what I do to myself," she said.

      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.
