4 days post op and feeling great!



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow bandsters!

I went in on last Thursday with my friend (Cucumber) and it went really well. Had a few sips of Water on Thursday and some sips of juice. Came home Friday, but mostly just slept on Thusrday and Friday.

Yesterday I started REALLY feeling hungry (after going back to work) so last night I had a can of cream of Tomato. Not in my diet, but I did it because I felt like I needed it. And guess what? It went down fine, and I felt full and didn't feel dizzy and brain-less like I was earlier in the day.

So now I am on the slimfast cans as I can't survive on broth and juice for 2 weeks NO WAY! I feel great, I am about 9-10 lbs down.... a little soreness at the port site.

But I feel MUCH better than I thought I was going to. So far, I feel like I have made a good decision. Mind you, I look at the food my family is eating and boy, does it look good! But of course, that's the whole point of the band, it "controls" me:smile2:.

Now, I just gotta take it day by day, and now thinking of the next "food".... mushies I guess? What will I eat?

Hope all the Sept bandsters are doing good!:smile:

Hiya,

I was banded 2 days ago on Saturday and im feeling rough today I was ok in hospital and stayed over night, i was even fine when i got home but last night the gas pain got intense. I am suffering with it today as the cuts are itchy and uncomfortable and i feel like a hot air balloon full of gas ready to explode lol but i am still happy because i chose this, i wanted this and i have done it. I too was feeling hungry so thought about deviating from my diet but was to scared too, ive been eating yoghurt for Breakfast and yoghurt for lunch but today have no appetite which is good i guess. Glad you are feeling so positive and having a good time of it so far x heres to us september bandsters xxx :smile:

      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.
