11 Days Post Lap Band Surgery And Feeling Pretty Good



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to check in, feeling so much better today, can't wait to go to the dr tomorrow for my post op. I'm hoping he tells me i can have soft foods. I'm so sick of Protein Shakes I could kick someone. i've been trying to fill my port but i can't seem to find it, i'm beginning to wonder if dr really did put the band in..lol..I will come back tomorrow to post my weight loss. I hope that all my Dec bandsters are doing well...

Hey I am glad to hear from someone going throught the same things. I am on day 6 and really tired of broth and Protein Shakes and juice. It stinks watching my family eat and eat and eat. I see the dr Thursday and I am hoping for pureed food maybe a little yougurt, cream of wheat or pureed anything. i don't even know which side my port is on. I 4 cuts about 1 inch long and one big one about 2 inches long. You made it to day 11 so congrats!

My consultation is January 6. I've been thinking about this for a year. My previous insurance would not cover it, but after a move and a new job, my current insurance will. I'm so excited and so proud of all of you who have gone through the process. I am almost afraid to think it might actually happen. Whoo Hoo! Best of luck to you in 2012. I am thinking about you and praying for you :)

Hi, I'm 8 days post op. A lot less sore than I was. Today I'm suffering with painful-extreme gas in my chest area. OMG, please tell me there's a cure.

      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.
