Recommended Posts

Hi gang...

I was banded on Wednesday 5/18/05 I got home last night, and I'm at work today! So far so good... I will probably go home early, just had to come in and do payroll then I'll take it easy the rest of the weekend.

Dr. Kuri was great, and the whole Mexico thing went well.... Was alittle out of context for me to up and leave and do this alone, but I met another girl being banded the same day and her mom was a nurse, so she took good care of both of us... I was really thankful for that!!!!

Anyway, I'm ready to be skinny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <grin>

Yippeee!!! Way to go, Blonde! Glad to hear you made it back for payroll, LOL! And to hear that everything went fine. It helps to know when you are going alone that you will at least meet some folks there. Glad you are fine and thanks for checking in!

Congratulations!

Oh my, I remember those days, having to go in long enough to do payroll. Happened with my youngest son, got out just in time to get the payroll done, LOL. Good luck on your weight loss journey

      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.
