I was banded at the end of May. Meeting doctor next week I have been following the plan. However, I'm starting to get a little frustrated, I hope everything is working because I have not had any problems eating the recommended diet food or drinking Water or taking my medicine. I have lost some weight but lately it appears that I'm not, I have been working out every day, two times a day. Riding the bike and tread mill 30 minutes on the tread mill and 30 minutes on the bike. I have not had a fill yet, maybe that will make a difference and the weight will start coming off more. I have had anything but shakes and Soup, today I ate Beans. I plan to stay positive, I plan to particpate in the aerobics class tomorrow and then ride the bike. Hopefully, some more of this weight will start coming off.

Hello everyone. I was banded on June 7th. I'm feeling good. I dont have any gas pains. Just a little gas pressure under my chest, but no pain (Taking gas-x strips). I was discharged from the hopsital yesterday. I have been walking and other than a little discomfort from the incision sites, no pain. My doctor did prescribed me with liquid tylenol with codine, but I took it last night just to help me sleep through the night. Other than that, my surgery went well and the hospital staff took very good care of me. I was taking off from work for only a week, but my surgoen wants me to wait until I see him for a followup next friday before I go back. He did say if I felt well enough to go back sooner, to let him know. I must admit, that I was nervous before surgery abut the gas pains and pain in general, but I have not encountered any of that. I hope those who recently had surgery are doing well with their recovery. Right now I am sipping crystal light with unflavored Protein added and will have some sugar free Jello later. Best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries.

Hi rpm,

I'm on the 16th, :thumbup: I had my pre-op testing & final Surgeon visit yesturday. I think everything is a go??

I had my gallbladder out 3/31/10. I was very uncomfortable for 3 days (mostly the gas pains) then better everyday. We can do this:thumbup:!! Keep in touch, we can go thru this together!! The anxiety is normal.

I'm on day 8 of pre-op diet lost 4 lbs. this week 19 all together. We are almost there:rolleyes2:.

Best Wishes,

CarolD

      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.
