Had band for awhile, starting fresh



Recommended Posts

Just finally decided to look for support with others who have my issues with weight. I was banded in 2008, and since have lost 50lbs (half my goal) and then gained back 20. I really need to fix myself. Do you guys have a list or link to the "rules" post op? I have got to fix this thing called obesity, and I know it starts with me. THe food addiction is too much sometimes!!

. Congrats on your new path choice! I was banded on 5/27/11 so I am still in the post op stage. My diet consisted of liquid for the first 2 weeks. This included my shakes, Tomato Soup, broth, and sugar free Jell-O. I have just been advanced to a stage 1 baby food or anything that I can blend to that consistence. After this 2 weeks I will move to soft foods for two weeks than the rest of my life will begin. I know that every Dr gives a different post op diet so you might want to check with some of the other about what their Dr recommended. Good Luck!

      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.
