Newly Banded 11/21/11...thanksgiving In A Cup!



Recommended Posts

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I was just banded last Monday and am recovering well. I have had a few people ask if I am going to miss eating my holiday meal this year, but I am not. This year, Thanksgiving broth is my holiday meal. Next year, I anticipate eating smaller portions, wearing smaller clothes, and enjoying a different phase of my life!

All it takes is motivation and the will to succeed. I know that sounds easier said than done. I can not wait until I get my approval. I did eat today... alot more than I should have but I know that this will be my last year..

      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.
