What shall we call ourselves? July 09 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

i don't have my rescheduled surgery date, but i'm thinking of holding off until july for my own scheduling purposes, so i thought i'd throw out an idea...

Freedom Fighters

(since we're all fighting to be free from obesity for the rest of our lives)

but, bandsters is okay, if kind of plain.

just please, no jumpin july junebugs on a journey to jamaica or anything. (no offense to our june journeys friends, just a comment on how hard it is to get an entire group of people to agree to a name...) :confused:

I like it, plus I like that it's a little different by not having the month in it. I'm open for other ideas too.

:blushing: Hi steveden i am having my surgery july 7th also. I am having it done in Keene NH. I meet with the nutrionist on June 18th and plus i have blood work done the same day. I have other test coming up but they havn't set up appts yet. i don't have to do any pre-op diet. I started the process on March 4th with a seminar.

So it will be a total of 5 months altogether. Hope time goes by fast here in the next few weeks. Hope all goes well with you. Take care

I finally have my date confirmed! July 10th. On my birthday. Think it's an omen???

So I was thinking a name with July in it. Don't have any really good ones.

July Jewels?

We are all jewels weather we are fat or not, and we are losing weight for ourselves, and to shine! ?!

Just a thought!

jazzie, jitterbugs and jubilent...uh no, sorry. I was glad to get my date moved to July so I didn't have to be a June Journeys...no offense, but YUCK.

I'm sticking with Freedom Fighters unless something better comes along. It's got bite and its not to lame, just like us!

Hey stevenden, another 7/7 bandster here. I'm so excited..seems like ive been waiting forever..but i'll admit to being a bit nervous too! I'm done with everything but pre op - which is being done on 7/2. I guess i wont have a 2 week pre op diet if i'm not having pre op stuff done until 5 days before surgery....

Name could have "Journey" in it (and we can pick a song from them also) since this is a life long journey.

      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.
