Looking for May Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Turns out my date is May 26 not 28. I'm glad, because I have an overnight stay, and hospitals are better places during the week than the weekend.

Oh, almost forgot - I'm the other guy in this thread apparently, so Biker Jon, you are not alone!

I am glad to be on a coed forum here, though I do have to say that the guys would probably go with something like "May Marauders". I bet I can count on one hand the number of times Biker Jon and I have said the word "Magificents!" in our lifetimes...:-)

March got March Marauders....and as a matter of fact it was btrieger that coined that one....and he is a guy too LOL

so what the heck is a Marauder????

Personally, I like May Bloomers (as in April showers brings May flowers....and we are blooming into our new awesome show-off selves)

But, May Magnificents is good too.

I'm easy to please :thumbup:

I was trying to be coed with "Magnificents" and the color scheme, but, oh well. "Marauders" has been taken, but the number of times I've used marauder as a word in my lifetime, LOL... I'm happy with whatever. May Movers? May Bloomers is good. May Marchers?

I think Magnificents is fine - I am secure enough in my manhood to be called a Magnificent!:redface: Plus I like the color scheme....

I'm just happy this board exists and that we are all not alone in this. Glad to see some other May 19th folks, and looking forward to hearing from those earlier-in-May folks as well. I'll keep checking in, and I hope you all do too.

One thing about the pre-op diet: I realized lately as I've been trying to get ready for it (mine starts May 4) that I'm pretty good during the day (when I'm busy) but lousy at night. So friend suggested I call them at night and chat and get my mind off food, and I think I'll start posting in here at night as well. Anyone else have that pattern?

May 19th also - in Phila!!!! And YES - I have the same pattern and so I told my husband - everyday after work starting May 5th - I will clean every closet, every drawer we have in the house - this will keep me busy so I don't eat food! I do it when I am bored...so hubby is happy about the clean closets and such.....so when it come time to watch TV, I will have big bottle of Crystel Light.......Good Luck - May 19th will be here before we know it! :redface::)

Yes, oh yes, do I have the same pattern! Wanna eat the cupboards clean at night- not that there's anything in them anyway because I simply can't keep tempting food in my house. But want to eat, yup yup yup! So I've been doing a Protein shake- that helps some. Or sugar-free popsicles. Thank heavens for sugar-free popsicles!!!

Do you know - are we allowed sugar free pudding or is it just Jello?

What does this pre-op diet consist of? My Dr. said I did not need to do one. Only Clear Liquids the day before surgery. :redface:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
