Chicago Bandsters Meet-Up



Recommended Posts

Hello Chicago!

The holiday season is upon us and it could be difficult for us bandsters. We can be a support to each other.

Let's have a bandsters get-together. Let's have Soup or a light lunch/dinner - and gain new friends along the way. We been through ups and downs - it would be wonderful to share to other bandsters your experiences and help each other.

Email me at shampoosh@gmail.com or reply to this thread. Let's put together a small get-together!

Veteran and Newbies welcome!

Hi Shampoo.< /p>

Is there really a Chicago Badsters meet-up? I don't see any replies on this thread, but just got banded and would love to meet other folks on this journey.

Hi - I would love to meet up as well. I live in Chicago. Unfortunately I have responded to these a few times but we never seem to meet up. Anyone want to spearhead scheduling this? Weekends are best for me.....

That would be great. It would be nice to maybe grab a bite to eat with people that are ok with ordering (possibly splitting) apps. lol My email is cjstrickland69@hotmail.com. Maybe we can exchange contact info and see if anyone else responds and wants to join in.

      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.
