UPDATE Jan 08 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I'm having hair issues also... Breakage and loss. I have so much hair though, I think it will be okay. I think I might have good restriction now, I still haven't "tried" it out if you know what I mean. I've been eating really badly due to working all the time. When I say badly, I just mean not eating healthy food and packing my pouch like I supposed to. I've been eating whatever's convenient.:)

Hello RedTullips3: You and I have almost the same surgery date. I too am seeing some loss of hair. Scarey. I go to doc tomorrow for another fill and will talk with him about it then. I try really hard to get about 60gr of Protein daily. Some days it is extremely hard, but usually I make my goal.

Hi everyone. Sounds like everyone is doing great. Iwas banded 1/22/08. I started at 235, I am down to 185. So, total of 50 lbs. I feel great. I also lose 3-lbs. at a time then nothing for a week or so. I did have to go to the dr this week and I found out one of the sutures on my port tore lose. My port is superficial and the suture is very stiff and it poke out and hurts. My dr says I have to go to surgery center and have a little incision and remove the stitch. He says it will be 5 min. and with local.. Not looking forward to it anyway. Keep up the good work everyone. Just think how wonderful we will all llok and feel come January.

      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.
