Recommended Posts

I am back at work after my banding on the 9th! WOW!!! What a week it has been. Just reading over some of the recent posts, I am glad to find out why I have been crying over everything I see on TV. Oprah had me crying all week.

I feel like a million bucks! I have already in one week lost 17 pounds!!!!!!!!!

I am doing the BIGGEST happy dance in the world.

We are going out for Mexican food on Sunday for my dad's bday... I am on the mushie stage... what do you guys suggest I eat?

Thanks!!!

JohnDeereGal, welcome back!!! By the way, you just had your surgery on the 9th, and you are already at the mushies stage? I am so jealous. I wish these doctors would all follow the same guidelines for the after surgery diet! I am still on liquids until the 21st, and I feel as if I am going to die. Well, CONGRATULATIONS on your surgery as well as your BIG weight loss!!! :D I've only lost 7 pounds since my surgery. I suppose everyone is different.

Welcome Back! I would have refried Beans and some cheese, little sour cream and some salsa on it....I would usually make mine like a 7 layer dip. It should fill you up pretty well, just take it slow. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
