Yahoo Group for all of us in September getting banded :)



Recommended Posts

I did start a yahoo group for all of us in September. I am including Aug & Oct, specially the ones at the end of Aug and beginning of Oct. My thought...those in August are a little more ahead of some of us and then we can help the ones in September. One big happy family and push and encourage each other.

I choose Yahoo over, Windows Live and Google groups (I created a group on each one) because Yahoo has the biggest storage of photos!!! Also their storage for files is also pretty big and does not count against your photo storage space.

I will still come to the board to post. But I thought this would be a really nice way to keep in touch, share recipes, encourage, do challenges with each other, photos, etc. Since we are all going through this together and at the same time. Plus you can get everything emailed to you and reply right through the email to the whole group.

So if you would like to join and have a nice Bandster family come on over and sign up! :)

You do have to have a Yahoo ID to be part of the group. To get one sign up here - https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?...oups.yahoo.com

Also when you apply to be a member just let me know you are part of the lap band forum or when your surgery date is/was. I don't just want to let anyone join at this time.

Okay hope everyone had a great weekend. If the link to join below does not work I will edit until I can get it to work.

I don't know what is going on with the group. I emailed Yahoo Tech Support. I am going to be upset if Yahoo deleted it. I see no reason why they should have. As soon as I hear from them I will let everyone else know.

When I was setting everything up I did also set up groups with Windows Live and Goggle Groups.

Sorry about this everyone...I will let you all know what is going on as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Cortney

Update to the Yahoo Group...

Doing a little bit of research tonight it appears that all new groups created in the last week have been deleted by Yahoo.

This is just by reading a ton or post from other people this happened too. I have not heard anything back from Yahoo yet, I did submit a ticket to tech support that says they have 24 hours to respond.

I have everyone's info that joined so far. Pending Yahoo being able to hopeful set the update or whatever they did to wipe us all out...hopefully everything will be put back the way it was.

If for some reason Yahoo tells me I have to reset up the group I will send each of you and individual invite to resign up for the group.

Frustrating Frustrating Frustrating...

At least I kept all the emails that came in on needing to approve so I have everyone's email address.

Also most of you will notice if you use Yahoo Messenger I have added you as a friend.

Hopefully all will be fixed soon. (crossing fingers and toes!)

The group is back up. Yahoo deleted a bunch of groups in error that were just created. Everything should be good to go. If you have any problems joining please let me know.

Thank you,

      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.
