Bright News!



Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd post a message on behalf of Bright, who was admitted to hospital this evening in preparation for her banding on Tuesday morning.

It happens that I 'met' Bright on this board back in August and she is now due to be operated by the surgeon who put my band in here in France (near Paris).

Just wanted to say she's very nervous but excited all at the same time!

Will update you all on her progress over the next few days. If anyone wants to say hi to her this week, I'll be happy to pass your messages along!

That's it for now.......

Sarah

(Banded 5 Augst 03, down 30 lbs and counting!)

Wish Bright the best of luck and tell her I hope she finds use for her three pairs of flip-flops...it will help me decide in my packing!

Pass along my best wishes too. As a pre-bander, I've really enjoyed her posts and look forward to her posts from the other side!

Please let Bright know to walk as much as possible after surgery. She'll feel like a million bucks the day after!

Were all thinking of you Bright!

Hi folks!

Just to let you know that Bright was banded today at 2pm French time and I've just spoken to her by phone and she's awake and well!

Apparently her French is coming on apace and she even laughed at a dishy male nurse's joke as he put some more painkiller in her canula (as he injected the liquid he announced 'un aperitif Madame? with a wink)......

More news tomorrow when I see her - she's been thrilled with all your messages of support! Thanks!

Bye for now,

Sarah

Yay!!! Thanks so much Sarah for letting us know Bright is okay. Tell her that she should outrageously flirt as much as she wants - if her husband complains, she can always blame it on the pain meds. When is that ever going to happen again?!?! lol

Please send Bright love from her porn lover... :cool:

Sarah,

Tell Bright Welcome to the other side...and while you are there make sure she wears every pair of flip-flops she brought with...hate to see her pack and not use them!

Hi All

Many, many thanks for all your good wishes! Bright left hospital today and is now on her way back to Dublin. I'm sure she'll be on the board tonight or tomorrow to give you all an update!

Cheers,

Sarah

      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.
