Recommended Posts

MellioM we were banded the same day! I was also banded 12-6-11. But unlike you I have been starving!! Ive been trying to convience myself it is all in my head but it def makes me think about all the foods ive been so used to eating! Ive been very good though and ive stuck to my Soup, Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, and Powerade zero! I'm sOOO ready to move to pureed foods though and my docter doesnt allow that for another week!!! It feels like I will never get there!! lol But I dnt regret it for a second! Ive lost 17 lbs already!! That is a better feeling than eating any type of food!! =) Good luck to yall!!!!

MellioM and Ready for a new Me! I was banded 12-6-11 too!!! We all have the same bday! lol but I haven't been that hungry, I mean its weird. Like, before I'd be like STARVING, like if i don't eat Im going to throw up, but now its just kinda a dull hunger, like its just there. MellioM, you can eat food already?? I'm not allowed to eat for another week. Feeling good though. Hey, are either of your incision swollen at all? My biggest one, where the port is, has been swollen and its the only one that hurts.

      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.
