Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I'm scheduled to be banded in August. I'm so happy that I found this site...everyone seems so great and supportive. Any advice would be great! Are there any other August 2009 or Connecticut Bandsters out there?

Hi Jen and welcome.

Take a look around, if there isn't already an August thread going, you could start one.

Also, take a look at the regional postings for your state, you'll probably find someone close to you.

All the best with this exciting new chapter in your life!!

Hey Jen, my surgery is scheduled for 8/31/09. I spend hours (recently) reading e/t I can on this site. I've learned sooo much. I've never blogged before, but I wish you would start an August thread-that way we can all keep each other posted on our progress and give support.

      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.
