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:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
