Recommended Posts

hi everyone! well ive finally got my band ! iam surprised that iam not hungry , two spoons of Soup and im full!!!!!!! normally those two spoons would have been ketchup on my chips [fries] !!!!!!!!!!! half a cup of tea takes me an hour ! it used to be a pint of beer every 15mins! i think i have found diet nirvana!! i know its early days yet but i think this is going to turn my life around . i lost 56 pound pre band and when my little girl, shes 6 asked me to play football the other day id realised what i had been missing no back pain , no heavy breathing because it was no longer a struggle to walk. normally i would have been reading the paper and watched her play , but now i can take part and be the dad she deserves. not embarassed to take her to the park becaused i weighed 400lb . right got that off my chest,iam going for some [thin !!!!] soup.:drool:

Yeah!! I get banded on Monday. How was the recovery? Quick? I hope to be up and moving around pretty good in a couple of days. Wishful thinking??

Good luck fostermom.

I go in Wed the 6th to get banded. Getting anxious and nervous. I hope recovery time is swift. We must be courageous to be doing this, or else to the point of desperation.

This is my 10th day of pre op diet and for some reason today is the first day for me to actually be hungry and not so satisfied. Up until now, I have been full and not hungry.

      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.
