April 2005 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hello Annette! Did you see post #20 here on this thread? Jan W is from Perth and is getting banded on the 29th. You could PM her, but I haven't seen her on here in a while. Tell her to come back!!! "wedding rings back on my finger" will be a great day for me! I refuse to have them resized larger. Smaller?, okay. Good to have you here...that baby, er, I mean, surgery, will be here before you know it! ha.

Thanks Trish and all other banders..As like everyone else I have been visiting this site for some time.Iam not very good with pounds as we were brought up with Kgs.Working on 2.2 pounds to the kg I need too loose approx 30kg.If not more if I could.I know it is successful as a very close friend of mine has lost 70kg in the last two years.Iam very proud of her as without hasrd work the last 10kgs wouldn't have come off that easily.I have decided not to tell anyone other than DH, mum and my close friend.Some will guess as I spoke about it last year and got a earfull from the..But I decided that Iam a grown up and don't have to justify my self to anyone.WOW It has taken along time to just get that far.

Best of luck and I look forward to seeing our progress....

I know how you feel about being scared and excited all in one. I should be a old pro at surgery. This will be my 6th surgery in 5 years.... It all started when I turned 30 boy did I fall apart.

Here's my surgery list....

Oct 29th 2001...Rectocile & bladder repair,

June 20th 2002...Left knee,

Dec 15th 2002...Left knee,

June 16th 2004...NovaSure(nice name for a DNC),

Aug 18th 2004...Hysterectomy,

April 7th 2005...Banded

I sure hope getting this weight off my bones will make my knee's feel much better, and the gravity wont be pulling everything from the inside out.

Oh my word Brenda. You will definately feel better with a big ole chunck of weight off! I think it's just the answer, particularly with knee trouble! Wow, good for you! Look for the new thread under support for this week's bandsters...sign in there and let folks wish you well!

Hey is your Dr Rumbaut in Monterrey? or someone with a similar name...I may have spelled it wrong...be sure and check before you change yours, if he's the one you are seeing. I hear it's nice in Monterrey, if that's where your headed.

No way Jose! Your band date is right after mine!!! You get LOTS of cheerleading, don't worry! The May bandsters are the ones who need to worry, cuz after April is done, I'm back to my normal thing...it's too much to keep up...there are 11 bandsters this week alone!!!! And I thought we'd have maybe 6 or 7 for the month. HA! I won't drop the ball don't worry!

Editing: hey Trish, have you seen the "This Week's Bandsters" threads? There are two so far under support like this one. I lumped...

      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.
