Bandidos not Banditos



Recommended Posts

LOL, I was just channel surfing and I came across a movie called Bandidos, so I looked it up. It is spelled with a D instead of a T.

You're right, it would be bandida for female, but for a group of mixed people, it would still be bandidos. However, you are also right that it should be "de Mayo" -- how quickly I forget my basic Spanish. LOL

So, I am again changing my siggy, so if anyone wants to copy and paste into their siggy, feel free. :eek:

John was the first of us May folks to post so he got to choose the name.

The technical way to say it was considered but it was decided that mayo Bandidos was a short and fun name.

If I have a vote I would rather not see the name change now.

Got approval last week but I have been really busy moving my 88 yr old dad from CA to PA.

I haven't had time to think about myself and have not posted in awhile.

I didn't have to stress on approval because they sent everything in to Highmark BCBS a week before I thought they would. When I got home from CA a letter was in the mail. I am on schedule for 5/27 and really have the jitters now.

I have been reading everything everyone has been posting and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experience.

Hope everyone is doing well and good wishes to those still waiting.

I still like Banditos, although if we are being correct with Spanish it should indeed be Banditos de mayo.

Why do I like Banditos? Because -ito or -ita means "little" in Spanish. And I sure like the thought of being a little Bandster... :redface:

But I'm too lazy to go change my banner... haha. Too much energy spent at the gym!! Yayyy!

      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.
