Recommended Posts

Hello All, Had my band placed Yesterday Friday July 29. I must say it was a very pleasant experience. I was nervous about the anesthesia, but they are real tricksters! lol He was pushing meds on my way into the OR! I only remembered them telling me to take deep breaths and next time I woke up i was in PACU!! Discharged home at 1:45 pm. Enjoying my chicken broth today!! Tastes like heaven- the little 2 oz that I have at a time! lol Good luck to all of u!!

I just had a little gas pain in my shoulder /left upper chest area, just a little, so i walked around the house for 15 mins and put the heating pad on my shoulder area and took a gas x strip. Not sure which one of them helped or if it was a combinations but I BURPED and passes some gas. I have been up walking around the house every hour on the hour for about 5 mins. Started that yesterday when I came home. I do not want the dreaded gas pains that I hear about. lol Good luck to you all! going to have some chicken broth!

      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.
