just banded



Recommended Posts

I am a newbie and just got banded on Friday. I am struggling with eating. I am not hungry at all. Should i force

myself to eat a little more. I just want to make sure I am getting enough Protein and right now I know I am not.

I don't remember worrying too much about the amount of Protein I got immediately post-op. There's Protein in almost everything, just varying degrees. I don't know where you are on your post-op re-feeding schedule, but you can add Protein powder to many things or use chicken broth to thin Soups or (if not on clear liquids) use skim milk. I wouldn't force myself to eat. Our bodies have plenty stored.

Now is the time to heal. Listen to your body and follow your doctor's guidelines as closely as possible.

Congratulations on your new life!!

I was just banded on Friday also! I am not hungry at all either, but I am drinking plenty of liquids, broth and eating fat free popsicles and Jello. I actually feel great! Last night I did have a lot of pain getting out of bed, so I slept on the recliner again. Good luck to you! Hope all goes well :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
