Banded Wednesday,August 25th 2010



Recommended Posts

My first time being put under. The whole thing was no big deal to me but I had a friend they let come into the OR while I was under and also stayed with me during the recovery room time.

I'm got home around 4 pm the day after surgery and I'm doing ok, just very sore but I have Hydrocodone for that.

Oh yeah, the friend that was with me the whole time, his name is Jesus :biggrin:

Thx,

dave

dave

I eat about 1 cup of food per meal and drink 1-2 Protein drinks per day.

I eat oatmeal in the morning

some kind of Protein and veggie for lunch

same for dinner.

I have not counted my calories so really dont know what it is at and I walk about 30 min a day.:thumbup:

1 cup = 8 oz and your pouch should be about 2 oz. So basically your eating 24 oz a day when you should be eating 6 oz a day.

There is no way I could be satisfied with only 6oz of food....Hopefully I will be satisfied after my fill in October!

I thought that Protein itself was supposed to be 4oz at least...I'm so confused :thumbup:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
