Wow, that is awesome! I lost about 20 pounds on the preop diet then nothing. I had a newborn and lost focus and gained the 20 back. What are you doing for exercise and diet. People like you motivate me do do better. Thats why I got back on here.

Hello, I see its been a while since any of you have posted on here... I'm from Greenwood and was banded in Oct. 2011. Just wanted to know if any of you were still on here. I lost focus on the band and need help..

I'm on day three post op with the band and can't get used to the gas... I wish I could burp or something but I can't and it hurts. Does this gas ever go away or is this just going to part of my life for now on with the band?

What did you do? Pre-Op diet
BigRush replied to misspostmaster's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to do 4 protein shakes a day and all the jello, pudding, pop sickles, and I ate a bunch of tomato soup. I also had chicken and beef broth and tomato/basil soup was my favorite! -
I know the feeling well... I'm 7 days post op and still on the liquid diet.. i went to Costco's and walked through the food part and thought I was going to lose it! I have to keep myself under control but come Thanksgiving, I'll be eating turkey!

How many ounces are your protein shakes?
BigRush replied to Heather B.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Nutritionist told me that I needed 80 to 100 grams of protein a day. I get my Protein shakes from GNC and they contain 20 grams per scoop mixed with 8 oz of water or milk. It's all based on your size... I'm 6 ft and was 280 at the time of talking to my nutritionist. -
I feel your pain on this .... I have to keep telling myself one more week and I'll be on soft foods. I'm 7 days post op and its about to kill me. Think of the weight loss as your motivation..... And remember, come Thanksgiving you'll be eating turkey!

I have a question for you post surgery banders.... I had my surgery last week and I noticed that my left incision (large insicision) feels hard around it while my other incisions don't... Just wondering if that was normal.
-
If you are only three days out you should be on liquids I imagine... 3 to 4 shakes a day and you can still eat soups, jello and so forth. The protein will curve your hunger. You should be taking in around 80 to 100 grams of protein a day.

I think the worst thing is I can't get a productive burp! I wish I could let loose on a big beer burp!
-
Most of the gas I feel is in the abdomen area! It works its way up to my chest and is very discomforting
-
This is the day before sugery and I'm ready for it to be over and ready to eat real food !! I think my sense of smell has intensified since I started this liquid diet... I can ride down the road and smell what the restraunts are cooking!
-
Thanks! How has everything now that the surgery is complete? Any pain?
-
I have 6 more days before my surgery and I'm finally getting used to this liquid diet. Worked out for 1 1/2 hours in the gym and took a 3 1/2 mile walk afterwards! Ready to shed some pounds....
-
I"m on my third day of my pre-op diet and I'm starving on these protein shakes... I'm drinking 4 shakes a day for around 100 grams of protein and wanted to know what others do to help curve their hunger. Should I be eating soup or something along with the shakes?
-
I went to the gym today and it was closed... I took a 4 mile walk instead on the gorgeous day!
-
Starting day three of protein shakes for pre-op. I have been starving ever since I started this diet! What can I do?
