Stupid band! If it weren't for it, I would have never gotten this paper cut on my pinky this morning.

O.K. all kidding aside, my eyelashes hurt. It must be the damn band. My eyelashes have NEVER hurt before. I'm calling my surgeon to schedule removal.

OMG, my BMI has dropped to 30. I'm too skinny. I look like a skeleton!. My bum is huge but OMG, you can see a collarbone! Nooooo, that means I'm anorexic!

Seriously though, espeically with a Protein first diet,people's nutritions suffers a bit after banding and their immune function with it. You do need your 2 fruit and five veg a day and a varied diet, and its pretty stupid to fill your stomach up with starbucks coffees or even Protein Shakes every morning rather than say, fruit and wholegrains and then wonder why you keep getting colds. Bandsters really have to eat carefully to get good all round nutrition, there's more to that than just Protein. And even the most careful eaters probably dont manage it that well.

I agree with Jachut 100% on this. We still need our fruits and vegetables in order to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. If you are eating a well-balanced diet, then you will naturally get in the Protein your body needs, as well as everything else.

LOL I would tend to think that the exact oposite would be true. Most of us didn't/don't eat a healthy balanced diet before looking into the band. So there are holes in our nutrition that would be filled by following good band eating rules. Therefore getting sick Less?

But again anone who is still obese knows how it is for everything wrong with us to be blamed on our weight even when it may not.

Bleh I think I broke my toe 2 days ago.(Stubed it bad enough the whole things dark purple, and hurts a bit)

Must be cause I want to be banded!! That's it. It's a conspiracy I tell you!!! It has to be!! :thumbup::tongue2::thumbup:

One of my hamsters bit my finger today.

Is it because I am going through the process to get banded!!??

I think so cause animals like hamsters never bite, they don't have big sharp teeth.

hahaha omg some people are annoying

      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.
