Anyone Getting Banded In July?
Meowmom replied to ilikebunnies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery 719...Yea, I was very surprised that we don't get any restriction till after post op appt. and swelling goes down. I do feel like I can eat more than the 1/2 cup, but try to stop at that point. So afraid I will gain weight. My post surgery full liquids diet says to eat 5 small meals a day. So I would have some lite yogurt or lite yogurt smoothies around to help thru the hunger. Or maybe some sugar free jello so you aren't' getting to many calories. Good luck Rita -

How are the banded Notorious Novembers???
Soexcited replied to mljalways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello! Wow it's hard to believe we have all been banded for SOOOOOOOO long now! I'd LOVE to get the sleeve. I have lost a lot of weight but not "all" of it. Unfortunately there is no way I would qualify to get the sleeve unless I paid for it all as my BMI is actually not that bad now! Go figure! Anyhoooooooo so that wont be happening. I would love to just to eat again, I get stuck on everything and I eat like a bird. My problem is that the bad foods that dont get stuck still are super high in calories and just zip right on through. Amylynns I drink my breakfast EVERY morning, my blender is my very best friend. I drink yogurt/protien/fruit smoothies for breakfast every day and I also do a lot of green juicing. I worry because I know I do not get all of the nutrition in I need every day, but the only way would be to take a bit out of my band and I dont want to do that because I am scared I will gain. Today I had a banana/mango/cherry & yogurt smoothie for breakfast and a stick of cheese and a few crackers for lunch. Id love to eat more right now, in fact I am hungry however I know one more bite and it will be too much and I'll wind up drowning in my phlem. Lovely eh? -
Hello All, Hope all you sickies are better! My son had his surgery on Tuesday morning, had a very rough time of it for a couple of days..............they had to go in to surgery again because he was bleeding so much...........they found that it was because of all the blood thinnners he is on and they gave him some major clotting factors that did the trick..................He's been in a lot of pain the past few days, but that is getting better, they removed all his drains and today he got to leave ICU and go to a intermediary ICU.............thank God, he's on the mend! Nothing in the world like having your child (even at 43) go thru something like this............this is his 2nd time - had a similar surgery 18 years ago.................hopefully he will not have to repeat this again. So, minus a couple of days this month............I'm hoping to get started back to exercise tomorrow morning................have a bunch of grandkids sleeping over tonight (my son's 3 children) that will stay with Poppops while Grammy goes to the gym in the morning! I've been very tight the past few days (wonder why) and have had to only do yogurt and stuff like that...............hopefully all will settle down and I'll get back to NORMAL!

I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?
gentylwind replied to Cappy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my postop today. He said I am way above average in recovery time and amount of weight lost, so that is fantastic. He told me I can start cottage cheese, non-liquid yogurt, very moist tuna salad, things of similar consistency. He wants me to wait another week before blending any meats or casserole type things. Made my first fill appointment for three weeks! Dec 22nd, and I am glad...I get a little bit looser every day. -
I'm home now and doing great! Still doing fine with my liquids. Sometimes I get a mild discomfort probably because I forget to sip instead of gulping it down like a horse. I'm on phase 1 of postop restrictions...two weeks doing 1- 2 ounce liquids every fifteen minutes with the goal of getting to 64 oz of liquid in the day. I'm allowed my protein shakes, broths, diluted apple and grape juice, crystal light, decaf coffee and tea and some other drinks. My surgeon also allows for watery yogurt and apple sauce. I'm also on 4 medications. One (muscle spams) I'm suppose to take for 2 weeks, second one (stomach acid blocker) is suppose to go for 4 weeks. The other two is an as needed basis since they help with pain and nausea. Fortunately, I didn't need the pain or nausea medications yet. Crossing my fingers it continues this way. I am not hungry, but do feel mental desires. However, while going through the pharmacy nothing made my mouth water or ache to have it. When I got home and saw the food I normally eat, I did have a moment of " I wish I could eat that" but I overcame it very quickly. I don't have a choice, but to keep going forward and there's no turning back which I'm quite happy with. Besides in time, we'll be able to eat again just smaller portions. I'm moving about, but I have to remind myself that a few days ago I had surgery. My body has so far handled it well.

I start my 2 week pre-op diet on the 20th. It is all liquids and two snacks (an egg or yogurt). My birthday is on the 25th. This year will be booze and cake free. I am celebrating a new me! I can't wait until Nov 3. That is the first day of my new life.

2nd Week post op
Livetothrive replied to Richard Hayes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
During liquid I ate: Yogurt, blended soups, jello, sugar-free popsicles, Fairlife milk (has WAY more protein than regular milk and no lactose), chicken broth, sugar-free pudding It's rough - but it's really a pretty short amount of time. I just graduated to Pureed diet and that transition is going slowly. My new tummy doesn't like some of the foods. I didn't digest pureed ground turkey well...at all. It is definitely a lot of trial and error! Best of luck to you! -
I switched up when I drink my Protein shakes. I'm never hungry in the mornings, but I know that I have to have something to eat. That is when I eat a yogurt or some cottage cheese. Then I have a shake for lunch around noon and another one around 3 or 4. Then I can have Soup for supper. When I feel like I'm getting hungry, I will grab a sugar free popsicle. I've found that doing my liquid diet this way has kept the hunger at bay. I also drink so much Water, that I feel like I'm going to float away at times.

I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?
ginny two replied to Cappy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still on liquids. I called my nutritionist this morning and whined at her. It's a good thing she has a charming southern accent and I love her. I was like, "mashed potatoes?....smooshed peas?.....cottage cheese?....." Nope. Nope. Nope. Thank God, she called my nurse and they agreed to let me have some pureed stuff, soups, etc. I had cream of wheat for dinner and it was SO GOOD. I've never had it before, but I savored every little bit. I can have grits. Not oatmeal, too many pieces. I can have yogurt, if I let it melt in my mouth before swallowing it. I think my surgeon is kind of strict. Pretty much anything pureed, but she doesn't want me to go down the smoothie road. She says it's too hard to stop. Right now I would love to go make some more cream of wheat, but........I'm not hungry. I just want to eat. I just want to savor the flavor of something on my tongue. I'm ready to cook up this Lean Cuisine Ravioli, chew it, and then spit it out, just so that I can taste it!!! I need serious help. Time to turn my thoughts to something besides for food. I think I'll start reading this Overeaters Anonymous book I just got in the mail.:cursing: -
I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?
loser4life replied to Cappy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery date is in two days on Tuesday Nov 18th !! My doctor/nutritionist's pre-surgery diet is 1200 calories a day of balanced nutritrion consumed any way for 12 days and then 2 days of 4 protein shakes and a 1/2 cup of other stuff for five servings per day (applesauce SF, pudding SF, yogurt SF, etc). I had 1/2 c malt-o-meal for breakfast - suprisingly it was great and reminded me of being a young girl .... and had me thinking of looking forward to moving toward the weight in lbs of that young girl !! :thumbup: I used "seattle sutton" (Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating) for the 12 days of 1200 calories. It was good, fresh, prepared food with little work or thought to follow and stick with. No hunger at all. I've lost 8 pounds in 12 days on it. I've ordered Unjury for protein shakes (choc, vanilla, strawberry). I've also purchased a "bullet" to prepare for the post-op mushies phase. I am SO excited! and I keep reading all I can on the board to learn from others experiences. Thanks to you all for posting :thumbup: -
I Got My Surgery Date...Where Are The November Bandsters?
jacobsgram replied to Cappy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to be on a liquid diet two weeks before surgery, at the beginning I can have like cream of wheat, oatmeal, yogurt, sugar free pudding and Unjury Shakes. It shouldn't be too bad, since my husbands surgery on 9/29 I have been eating soups and cottage cheese for supper because he has been on the post op liquid diet and it was easier to eat that for supper than to cook a meal for myself. He is now able to eat food!! I can't wait!! -

B: 1/2 cup FF cottage cheese with 1/2 container FF peach Yoplait yogurt Morning snack: same as above. Only staying full about two hours now instead of four. Lunch: 1 1/2 cups V8 tomato herb soup and one slice FF swiss cheese Afternoon snack: 5.5 oz can of V8 juice Dinner: Cup of turkey stock with about four chunks of stuffing mixed in until saturated and completely soft Restriction is definitely going away and I am anxious to start blended meats and things on Friday. I try to stay under 1000 calories. Using MyDailyPlate.com to track my intake and it really helps. -
I'm following my doc's pre-op diet - full liquids which includes Clear Liquids and Soups with no chunks (creamy), frozen yogurt, popsicles, yogurt, etc. This is a 2 week diet, I'm on day 6. And I see that other people are on clear liquids only for 1-2 days. And some that are on liquids for a full week. And some are on low carb - so they can eat meat and stuff, just no sugars/carbs. And some that really don't have much of a diet at all. I'm not having any problems on my diet though I wonder why all the different types of diets? I know that all docs are different, but for most other medical issues there are general guidelines. To me it seems really weird that clear liquids, full liquids, and no carb diets can all have the same effect.

Any other September 2013 bandsters?
Amy Carter replied to Irishflower79's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If you are on liquids then i would recommend the fruit and yogurt shakes from McDonald's or sonic. -
I did this yesterday. I also took 1/2 of a strawberry protein shake and added greek yogurt and blended for a smoothie and that came all right. It brought the sweetness of the shake down and the mellowed the tartness of the yogurt. I split it into two 'meals'.

iamworthit replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep I am so glad it is on mine too because I can't stand protein shakes. I am trying to get my protein from food. It is really hard to get to 60-65 grams but I am trying. Greek yogurt at 15 grams is my bff except I can't quite finish them. -

Lisa Collom replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, I didn't manage both. However, that's only 1/4 cup of tuna, 1 Tb light mayo, 1 tsp Greek yogurt and onions on top of two small tomato slices, topped with a total of 1 Tb of reduced fat cheese. The lettuce leaves were about 4-5 inches in diameter. All total it was about 1/2 cup of food. I ate 1 and 1/2. It's 166 calories, totally yummy and satisfying. -

Banana, pnut butter, & plain yogurt smoothie. It's AWESOME! -
Well hello all! Had my surgery on Wednesday. I feel fantastic. My hospital stay was wonderful (except for the "popping" shoes I had to wear in bed....To prevent blood clots.) The Nurse Practitioner who discharged me told me that I can work from liquids to baby food consistency. That's not what I learned when going to all the pre operative classes and that has really confused me. I've been doing fine with the clear liquids and have even had a Greek yogurt and a scrambled egg with no problems. The gas pain has at times been unbearable. I am 3 days postoperative and still feeling it. I have no saline in my band yet so I am having "hungry" issues. From what I understand it won't be filled yet for weeks so I will be living on protein shakes until then. I see the MD on Wednesday for suture removal so hopefully I will have more answers as to when they will begin filling my band and my growling tummy will begin to cease. Hang in there everyone,

Georgia, stop in the grocery store. Grab a yogurt or applesauce that are in the tubes so you can eat on the go.
