January 2013 Bandsters Unite



Recommended Posts

Started Pre-Op about a week from tomorrow.. I have to say it really isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.. craving sweets but nothing as bad as the first couple of days! But I do have to say is the 10th can't get here any faster!! HAHA how is everyone else doing?!

I go in on the 8th and my headaches are increasing on this pre-op diet. Doc things I could be lacking sugars so I have a glass of OJ and a teaspoon of honey along with my Protein shakes which has stopped my sweet cravings.

Hope it all goes well for you on the 10th.

Vitamins & supplements...

What has your doctor told you to take after your surgery? Or to start taking before your surgery?

The nutrtionist told me to take a chewable Multivitamin with minerals, chewale Calcium citrate (1500mg), sublingual B12 (1000mcg).

I found a website http://www.wellesse.com/ which has several liquid Vitamins & minerals. Has anyone heard of this site before?

Any recommendations? I normally get my vitamins & supplements from www.vitacost.com but didn't know if there was something better out there.

I'm so glad to find this site. I'm being banded 1/7. A little neurvous and excited at the same time. Most of the people at the support groups at hospital are bypass and there is no discussion on the banding,even though the diet is the same but little or no talk of fills. May God bless all you this New Year.

Hi everyone. Just became a member and my surgery is Jan 16th. I start my liquid diet on Monday but I started a low carb, no sugar or fat diet today. To prep me for Monday. I really enjoy reading all your post. They give me a sense of security, that everything I'm thinking or worrying about is normal. Good luck everyone and thank you for your support.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
