New Board for Rainbow Bandesters



Recommended Posts

Hi all! Thanks so much for all the support and information I have been able to receive here. I wanted to let anyone know who might have an interest that there is a new board that has started that is for members of GLBTG community who are prebanded or banded already. It is very new and is well moderated. Some interesting folks and conversation so far. If you are interested this is the address rainbowbandsters-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Thanks Corliss

Thanks for posting this Corliss. I, of course, would miss anyone from our group that decided to leave LBT for any other board...

No not stupid at all!!! When you don't know, an honest question is always a fair question! Yes, it is for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered bandsters. I would hope that anyone who fits the criteria would not leave this board but merely visit that one too! Just one of those special interest boards for bandesters who might not want to talk about same sex partnerships and their support or lack of openly on this board. I believe most bandsters are exceptional people, but their is predjudice in life and some GLBTG folks are less comfortable talking about Same Sex issues openly on the general boards. I hope no one would "leave this board" for another one. I certainly won't leave, you folks have been great.

      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.
