Hi fatduck I know exactly how you feel. I am having mine done on the 26th June and I am eating things I would never normally eat. I Dont understand it. Yesterday I ate a full bag of chocolate covered raisins, I dont even like bl!!!dy raisins. It must be a physcological thing. Anyone else do the same before banding?:smile:

Yup - I can't count how many last suppers I had! :smile:

I put on about half a stone in the month between booking the band and my pre-op diet!!

Hi cantweight 10lb is better that nothing, its a good start.. it is hard when there is lovely food around you so it is a matter of changing how we feel about food, i think that is harder than what it sounds lol, keep up the good work you are doing well and the weight is going in the right direction, off. x

Hi flirty i think it might be a good idea to speak to your dr about what you are planning and see what advice you get, i think if you get all the surgery done in one go it is an awfull lot for your body to take.. you have got to be safe in what your about to do and not to rush into anything x

tullia law did my head in..all she is bothered about is getting money it seems..she.never stopped ringing and bugging me and got angry when i didnt answer..and all i did was fill an online enquiry form that wont send unless you put your phone number on.i thought id get an email with the prices returned, but she must have phoned more 20 times at all times even later at night for few weeks..id book thro dr chris ,frederik or bridget at europesurgery.com, tullia is scary! x

I completely agree, had the same experience as you, tullia is a bit of a bunny boiler of sorts! lol x

Hi odge thats great news about the nurse. Did you ask your doctor to refer you or did he do this off his own back. Didnt he ask you why you didnt take follow up care, oh and is the nurse going to do your fills. J x:blushing:

Hi to you all,

Well here I am, been through the op and now back home and feeling pretty perky I must say. I must admit I felt a bit ropey yesterday with all the travelling home. I started out at 9.30 am (8.30 UK time) and got home at 6pm, so it was a long day, but what a wonderful nights sleep I had in my own bed. I feel sore, which is to be expected, but I've not had to take any painkillers nor any of the anti-sickness tablets that they give you. I've even managed the injections without any problem, ( so easy to do and painless!)

There were 6 of us being banded on Tuesday and we managed to get ourselves organised and shared taxi's into hospital and again on discharge. When in the hotel we swopped room numbers in case we needed to talk to anyone.

After all my last minute doubts I am soooooo pleased that I've had it done and look forward to being a shadow of my former self. There are ways to cheat, eating chocolate and ice cream etc. but the way I look at it why would anyone pay out all that money and then cheat?

Yippee......... The rest of my life starts here.....

I agree with what you have said about the ice cream and choc, its a lot of money to spend to cheat and its down to us to be strong, its hard sometimes tho lol x

      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.
