How did all the December 6 and 7th bandsters do!?!



Recommended Posts

How did everyone's surgery go on Monday and Today? Mine went well, I think the hardest part was waking up when I was super confused! A little soarness and tenderness around where the port is, but it's not excatly painfull. I was begging for Water when I woke up but they wanted to see my swallow on the xray first. Now all is well. Sitting her sipping on some broth. No shoulder gas pain YET.

Hope everyone is feeling great!!!

I am feeling pretty sore and I did have some gas pains but it didn't last long. I hated the feeling of waking up as well and I was DYING of thirst! I had some vegetable juice warmed up earlier and it tasted pretty good to me! I can't wait to start losing! Yay for our new beginning!!

I don't know if guys had a hernia repair as well but I did and man oh man were my shoulders in pain!!! I won't lie I was expecting 'gas' pains but not like what I expected. nevertheless, I told my nurses and the situation went away eventually. I find the more I move the better I feel. day 2 and staying strong tongue.gif

      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.
