Anyone looking for a Fun Band Buddy?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm Donna and I would also like to be a band buddy. Had my band on Aug 23 tues. weighted 222.2 on tues and today I weighted 214 so I am happy with that. Hey buddies does your doc want you to have 60 grams of Protein a day? I am not able to get that amount into my stomach cause I have had a sick in stomach feeling ever since the surgery. Please tell me about the protein. thanks all

Hello Donna, Agnes, and Cara.....

I am Dawn part of the band buddy support group. I hope everyone is doing well on their journey.

The hurricane Irene did not do much to me in Bayside.... How is everything with you?? Do you have power?? Was your house flooded?? I hope all was fine. Let me know if you need help.... I will try... I can't lift anything but I will be supportive all the same.

Hey Agnes... I had my surgery on the 23rd of August and I was able to eat puree foods the first day. I don't eat much but I give everything a try!!! My biggest problem is getting all of the Protein and Water down. That is a full time job. How are you doing with that part of the diet???

Hello Donna yes my doctor has told me 60 grams of Protein a day!!! It is a hard job but I am trying my best. How are you doing other wise??? I think you should let your doctor know that you feel sick in the stomach so he can give you something for that........ I don't think you should feel that way.

I hope to talk to anyone of you soon!!

Hi Buddies: O.K. with Irene. Funning thing though the earthquake that ocurred last tuesday while I was in the recover room from my band surgery. That earthquake could have been right under my bed I was sooooooooooooooo sick from the operation. That sick in the stomach feeling is about gone I think because I am able to eat some creme Soup and lipton chicken noodle soup. the noodles are almost invisible so that really helped me. there has got to be some way to get that Protein in please give me some ideas. lol

Hey Donna.... the Protein shakes are the easiest way to get your Protein in. I drink a Protein shake from costco and it has 30 grams of protein. So I try to drink two of those a day and I get my protein in that way.

I was allowed to start eating puree food right after surgery... so I eat... fish, tuna, Beans and eggs to get my protein in. Just some ideas.

I was in surgery when the earthquake hit. I am glad I made it out ok!!!

I'm BAAACCCKK!!!

Whew, what a week. I JUST got my power back on at 7:30pm this evening. No damage to the house and no flooding, as we live on the south shore of long island, 1 block away from the Water, but the trees in my neighborhood knocked every other power line down. It been a nightmare but survived almost a WEEK of no power.

we had no fridge so chobani's were out after tuesday. It was rough and I either picked up a muscle milk at 7-11 or brought a chobani 1 at a time. I ate out for the first time for my son's first bday..we went to friendly's I had less than half of a bowl of chili. I ate slow and YUMMM it was sooo good! LOVED IT! going to start food shopping and cooking this week. I will be planning my meals ahead of time. Hope everyone is well and what have I missed? how is everyone doing????? Be in touch and im back on now so will be here usually every day!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
