MAY 2009 Bandsters - shout out!!!



Recommended Posts

I am planning on a full 7 days off (Wed-Tues) and the option for the Wed-Fri following if necessary. A lot of people here and in groups have mentioned going back to work the next day!!! Hopefully you will recover quickly if you are expected to get right back to work... Take extra care of yourself if you do!!!

Here's a shout-out for my fellow May-bes! After much waiting, I'm going into surgery on May 18th, in Australia.

Since I'm a teacher and the 18th is a Monday I plan to have the whole week off work. (My boss has been very accommodating, although he thinks I'm having a hernia operation.)

Best of luck to you all, I look forward to hearing about your journey!

Hi All, I have been moved to May for my band. The date hasn't been set until blood test results return. I do have approval from insurance though so all is well. I'm excited about this!

Hello-

I am new and my surgery is scheduled for May 4th! I would love to join the May Banditos club but can't seem to figure out where to find it?

Yea for May! I'm on the 8th, it's quickly approaching.

I quit my job in December because it was so terrible. I didn't think I'd still be out of work, but maybe it's a little bit of divine intervention so I don't have to worry about rushing back to work before I'm ready or what I'd tell my boss. At least that's the way I'm choosing to look at it!

      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.
