The "Alfie" thread :) :)



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! Ok, let me explain this thread. Since her band date January 23, 2008, I have chatted with so many people asking and wanting to know about a particular sweet wonderful newly bandster lady, that so many of us care about. So I thought I would create a thread entirely for her! Everyone feel free to leave your thoughts, questions, and concerns for/to/about Alfie here. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Without further ado, Alfie…<o:p></o:p>

WELCOME TO BANDLAND!!!!<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

As a new member of lapbandtalk.com, you and many others made such a huge impact on me, and welcomed me right in! So thank you and we all love you! I look forward to chatting with you soon! Keep us all updated as we travel with you down your journey! You will be in my prayers. <o:p></o:p>

      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.
