Post-Op Intestinal Issues
magicfanpjc replied to magicfanpjc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone. It's much better today. I'm not allowed to have shakes right now. Just clear liquids for me for another week...ugh. I'm down 23 lbs in three weeks though! -
3 Days Post Op And Starving!!
magicfanpjc replied to jesscaba's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Talk to your doctor. I'm 4 days post-op, and I can't have my protein shakes until week 3. Clear liquids only. Every doctor is different. -
3 Days Post-Op Update
magicfanpjc replied to magicfanpjc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Darvoset was my friend Friday night! Lol -
Had my band put in Fri 13. SO thankful my doc keeps his patients overnight in the hospital. I don't know how people go home after surgery. Anyway, doing well except I don't want to consume anything. I can do tea, but so sick of broth, juice, and Jello that I'd rather not have them. I'm not hungry, but I'm concerned about dehydrating. For those approaching surgery, walk, walk, walk to get that air out! It's the worst part.

2 Days Post Op And Starving!
magicfanpjc replied to jesscaba's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I aw banded on 13th, too. I'm on clear liquids only for two weeks, then full liquids for two weeks. I'm so sick of both. I was 2 weeks liquid prior to surgery, too. The thought of broth makes me want to gag. I try not o think about it because it's such a long time. My stomach rumbles, but I think it's gas. I'd rather not "eat" than have more broth, jello, or juice. -
I'm Beginning To Get Worried!
magicfanpjc replied to chriskatsmi7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 days post-op and I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks and full liquids for 2 weeks after that. I couldn't eat anything right now. Your first fill won't be for about 4-5 weeks, right? I would double check with our surgeon on what you can have. That seems like a lot. -
I'm in week 2 of my pre-op liquid diet. I can't stand the thought of more broth! Suggestions? I'm craving meat! It's supposed to be downhill from here, but it feels worse! My surgery is Fri 13th...6 days!

Pre Op Diet - Shakes
magicfanpjc replied to Mel1098's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. My doc sold me Opti fast. They're premixed in cartons with straws. I think they're good. Get vanilla and add flavored syrups. I have coconut, almond, and German chocolate cake. Da Vinci makes them. You can drink the shakes from the carton or blend them with flavor and ice for variety. No issues with shakes for me. I'm 3 days from surrgery and have made it so far. -

Yikes! Liquid Diet Starts Today!
magicfanpjc replied to magicfanpjc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the advice. It's 3:00 and I'm starving! I'm ready to go get some soup instead of plain broth. It tastes good enough, but it's not filling me up. -
Yikes! Liquid Diet Starts Today!
magicfanpjc posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wish me luck! I'm most concerned about this part. I have a sit-down job, but I can get up and walk. Any advice on the best broths or ANYTHING else that will help me through this? -
Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this, but my surgery date is April 13. I've been reading posts for a while now and finally decided to join in. I'm VERY excited about my band, but scared at te same time. Your stories are all so helpful!
