Hello everyone

Well im a fully fledged bandster now as i had my op on the 6th and everything was fine...mind you i was quite sore for a couple of days but that might have been the the pink fluffy side of me thats hidden under this 127kg body of mine...lol.. Have to say that as i took mr preop sedation i did wonder if i had done the right thing going in for the op but that thoguth soon disapeard and i think its the best thing i have ever done for myself and like whippledaddy says in one of his posts.. i too like him dont seem to do much thats just for my benefit and no one elses... Is that a bit of a trait with us larger peeps do you think ?

I would also like to say that i think whipples posts are some of the most thoguth provoking i have had the pleasure to read. Big hello to harlynana as we had our ops the same day!!!!

Love to all

I agree with you about Ryans posts. They are thought provoking.

Tracey, it only gets better from here on. That's not to say it's all milk and honey, but you are making progress in a positive direction. Heal and enjoy the next weeks. I know I am!

Thanks for all the kind words and welcome to the banded side.

      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.
