Aussie Bandit says hi.



Recommended Posts

G'day everyone,

My name is Jason and I was banded on the 8th June,2010. I live down here in Australia, I'm single and 40 y/o. I only endured 3 days of minor pain/discomfort after the surgery and I'm now into the "mushy" food stage of the process.

Looking forward to reading about everyone's weight losses and asking/answering any questions that may come up.:devil_smile:

hi jason

congratulations on getting your band. looks like you are getting great results which is fantastic. i got my band done about 2 years ago and have lost about 30 kilos i have had quite a few medical problems unrelated to the band which has slowed my weight loss down the last 12 months but i am so glad that i have done it . it is the best thing i could have ever done.

would be happy to answer any questions you have (if i can)

i look forward seeing your results

Jane

      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.
