91 Banders Are Here!



Recommended Posts

OMG! I've been lurking and I've collected 91 banders who are scheduled for August! If you see anyone floating out on the other boards who might want to join us, send 'em on over. Our times are drawing near and the more the merrier!

It looks like there are as many as 9 folks getting banded on several of the dates.

Thank you for the invite!

I had no idea this section was here. (I've hardly ventured out of the Intro, Pre-Op, and Post-Op areas!)

I'm going nuts waiting for the 7th! I just want to go to sleep and wake up and have it be here.

Greetings kindred spirits and fellow travelers, I too am an August Bandster. It has been a long and frustrating process but that is now in the rear view mirror. August 14 is my date and I am very excited and somewhat apprehensive but have no doubts about my decision to proceed. Good luck and God speed to all!!!

      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.
