Any May 2011 Banders?



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on Saturday (28th). Other than the port incision (where the staples are), I've been quite comfortable, very little gas and no bruising (which surprises me). Am back at work teaching today (Wednesday), took two days off because I didn't want to put too much strain on my stitches.

I've been drinking toddler vege/fruit juices (all natural) - added to Water so it isnt so boring, and plenty of non/low sugar fruity iceblocks. The icy crunch helps with any cravings for something to snack on.

Wishing you all a great week!

WOW.. I can't believe you are back at work already. I was banded yesterday at 2 30 in the afternoon. I am fairly uncomfortable but nothing too horrible, but I cannot imagine having to go back to a job in a day or two.. Good for you! Best wishes to you!

      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.
