Cali Bandsters Unite!!



Recommended Posts

Got my band Last November a few days before Thanksgiving. Have only lost 45 lbs so far but am over all very happy about the whole thing. Once I got a little unfill and figured out my reflux problem, I have felt like a new person. The scary thing about reflux for me was that because I was not sleeping at all, I made some crazy decessions and couldn"t take care of myself properly. Now I am back to normal. Started working out and gained 5lbs of bulk back and have hit a plato. My boobs have shrunk like 2 deflated tires. I am saving for a boob job now. Your saying, "Wow, I didn't ask." I ramble.

I don't feel comfy giving my email due to a crazy stalker from my past. WOuld love to meet anytime.

I would love that! I was at the mall last night and need to go back for more of my beloved Proactiv.

Just give me a time and place.

The only time I have talked to anyone else with a band is when I went to T.J for a fill. How neat it would be to talk about it more.

Penni, I would love to join you guys for lunch, possibly next time in the SanFernando valley so my mom can watch my kids. Maybe we can do this in a couple of weeks.

I'm in. I feel like I went on an internet date with Penni and enjoyed it! It was really great to talk to someone who has shared my experience. Unfortunatly I was so excited about our meeting that I forgot to ask some of my questions. Next time. 90% of my internet dating has not had such positive results. As the saying on the old t.v show goes, "yes Chuck, I would like to date Penni again."

The valley is fine by me.

Tuesday August 30th is cool with me. Heck I can even host the event at my house. BRING bathing suits. We can grill out or I can make something for us to eat. Any ideas?

I am in Van Nuys. Right off the 405 at Sherman Way. In fact my back yard is the 405. LOL!!

OK guys the August 30th Tuesday is right around the corner.

Who is in for a Van Nuys get together?

I will be willing to open up my house to the events.

I have a swimming pool so bring suits.

Don't worry I have a fence around the property and we will have seclusion. LOL!!

We can cook out or order in or I can fix something or whatever.

I have wine, Water, crystal light, we can get some beer, or other hard liquor or none at all. I am easy.

Just need an idea of who is coming and when you guys wanna meet and all that jazz.

I can send directions to the house to whoever is coming.

      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.
