I was banded on May 27th and have had no problems. Nothing stuck, nothing hurting, no nausea... and i am following the rules carfully and I am amazed it has been working..

I lost about 15 pounds until I got to this soft phase and I am at a stand still.. but they say worry about healing not losing .. this bugs me.. because I am really working at it..( I am blaming my consitpation for no loss recently LOL )

Anyway... My first fill is July 12 and I am wondering if all this good fortune will change? Do you get stuck, have nausea, not be able to eat once this happens? I really love Pasta and have and it (1/3 cup) of Dreamfields that has 7 grms Protein. No problem... I don't want to give it up... I am italian!!

Any thoughts...??? How does it change after fills?

You may find that you don't tolerate some of the foods you did once you have some fills. For your sake- I hope it's not Pasta lol. You will also find you need to eat slower and chew your food really well. Good luck in your journey!

Hi,

I was banded May 4th and just had my first fill of 2.5 cc on June 9th. I feel a bit fuller when eating with no stuckeys so far and I have already tried many things. Pasta is fine for me but may be different for you. i wouldnt worry about it. On August 9th I go formy first xray(fluroscopy) guided fill and after that I think that will make a huge difference>

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.
