September 14th - Starting My Journey



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I was banded on Sept 14th, 2010 and then re-banded on Friday, September the 17th. I had swelling of the esophagus and it was spasming. The pain was significant. I'm okay now. I'd love to keep in touch with you to see how it goes from time to time!

OMG I hope you are ok? How are you doing now? What caused the spaming? Hope all is well!

Hi WAH.MOM

I had my surgery yesterday around 10am. IT went well. I have been mostly sleeping since then. Last night I went for a walk in the hospital corridor and suddenly became very nauseous and very sweaty, nurse brought me back to my room and my BP was 78/56!!!! I didn't puke, and just lied down, and all was ok after that.

I have some pain, not sure what is there where it hurts, my port I guess??? I have to take antibiotic Syrup and they prescribed friggin pediatric advil syrup for pain!! Can you believe that? Anyways, it's not too bad. I have been sipping Water and juice only. But I feel hungry....:biggrin:. My husband just went to buy me some broth.

LEt;s keep in touch.....

      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.
