How do people get along without this?



Recommended Posts

I love this site =) There's a support group in my area that meets once a month. Once a month? Whateva!

I know a support site like this can't replace a doctor's advice, but we all know how hard doctors are to get a hold of. It's SO nice to be able to get a quick answer (or even search instead of post and get a QUICKER answer) when you're worried about something. And it's nice to have some place to "hang out" where you KNOW you won't be judged.

I love you guys =)

AWWWW. We love you too Jonathan. I always enjoy reading your posts, you are sweet and funny and a real inspiration. I am, however, having a surprisingly hard time leaving out the "H" on Jonathan...why is that so hard?!! If you guys haven't yet, visit Jonathan's site listed on his signature. It's really great.

*Group Hug* ;) I know what you mean Jonathan... there is a support group that I attend occaisionally but most of the information and support I've needed has come from the great people at LBT... I don't know how I ever would have made it through without this wonderful site! I tell every bandster I come in contact with because I know they will love it as much as I do!

(((Hugs))) Jonathan! It is great to have friends here that you can talk w/ and they really understand what you're going through. Let's hope LBT will be appreciated and used for the right reasons... so we'll have it for a long, long time.

Are you still having trouble with liquids? Things going down any smoother? Tell!

No, I'm MUCH better now, Sue. I posted somewhere about it =) Saturday I kept 12 ounces of tea down. Sunday I kept about 32 ounces. Yesterday I probably drank close to 80 ounces. Liquids are free flowing now, and mushies aren't giving me any trouble, as long as I go slowly =)

So glad you love this site as much as we do!! Look at me - I'm not even banded anymore, and I can't stay away from this board... :cross-eye Probably nothing more than a further symptom of my addictive personality, but I like to think it's the people here.... ;)

So glad you're able to keep liquids and mushies down now - you're going to do GREAT!!

(((hugs)))

Jonathan, I am glad to hear your are doing so much better! You had us worried there for a little while!!! Yes, this site is great and I don't know what I would do without it. I went to a local support group and wasn't impressed at all. I probably won't go back. This site is my support and you are all my band family!!!

      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.
