just became a march bandster!!!



Recommended Posts

I am having my first appointment next week and since I am a self pay, I am hoping to get through everything quickly for March banding.

I have been wishy washy about bands for a while and thought they cost like $30,000 which I cannot afford. The doctor I'm seeing costs $9000 so I became much more interested. Now I can't hardly wait.

He also has a 30 Day Rapid Start - I'll find out about that too.

It would be such a blessing to have this weight business fixed once and for all! I'm sick of dealing with it. I'll drink Protein shakes (I actually like them!) I don't care- just give me some help when I lose my will power- just a little help is all I need. Falling off the wagon for a couple of days means I gain all my weight back or most of it. I'm hoping the band will get me through that period better.

Good luck to us both!

Sadie

      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.
