December 2009



Recommended Posts

Where are the december 2009 bandsters? Either I'm not looking in the right place or they are pretty quiet. I've got a Dec. 2 2009 surgery date. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing and really want to be compliant with the program. Of course my willpower isn't so great or I wouldn't be here. I'll be starting Optifast on November 18. Thanksgiving on the stuff will be interesting as I have to cook.

Anybody out there with concerns, questions or just wantto let off a little steam?

Hi sexygma130, It's cool we'll be getting banded about the same time. Yeah, I'm a little apprehensive about the surgery also but I've had several elective surgeries before and it's been fine. I guess what mostly concerns me is the TOTAL change in eating habits we'll have to make. Like always making sure I have the right kinds of food available. I guess also it means paying total attention to my needs-something a lot of women are not accustomed to doing. I just receoved some Protein samples to try out. They're Unjury brand which are supposed to taste ok. I wouuld suggest spending some time reading these forums. There's a wealth of knowledge here.

Hi diana1,

I just happened upon this thread - didn't even know it existed! There are so many. I'll add your name to the list of December Bandsters 2009 (in the 'Pre-Op' forum). A lot of nice people post on that thread. Hey... December 1st is less than 15 minutes way (pst)! It's almost your big day! Aww, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Good luck!

      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.
