Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone. I am so sorry that I was so sniffly and having a pitty party yesterday. I normally am so positive about the things that life can throw at me. I will get better I am probably just being hormonal. Thanks Jenna, and I am so sorry I have not been able to call you back, but I am doing better, and my band is awesome.

Oh my gosh girl! 24 lbs in less than 2 weeks!! YOU GO GIRL!!

If anyone can bounce back from things I think it is you. I have never in my life met someone and had the impression that I have in you and your dad. I am not just saying that either, you two are very compassionate, caring, good natured and wonderful people to be around. I know that I was just a better person when hanging around you. And to see your father/daughter relationship was unbelievable, what a fantastic connection you have.

Call me when you can Roxanna, take care hun.

I'm in the early stages of my process. I just thinking of getting the band and will be meeting with a doctor next week. My question is ...why are some of you going to Mexico for the procedure?

Some folks don't have insurance to covery the procedure, so they go out of the country where it is less expensive. The majority of the out of country, and self pay folks go to Mexico, but some go to Europe.

      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.
