Banded And Feeling Wonderful!!



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days post-op and feeling wonderful. I do have some soreness but other than that everyday gets better! So far I have tolerated everything. No nausea or vomiting. I am walking, taking my supplements and getting my meals and Protein Shakes in. I am right on track. Just wanted to give you all an update. Good luck to all having surgeries coming up!

Gas has been awful for me as well otter. On day four my doc told me milk of magnesium which really made me feel so much better but it still sucks!

Followup...I did it! I was banded today, March 15th

No problems, just some soreness. No nauseousness. I can walk great but getting up is the challenge. The nurse said the nauseousness folks get is from the anesthesia, any surgery would be a problem for them, so no problem for me.

already tired of broth and Jello :). Progressive Soup is the best, drain the broth for and share the noodles n stuff with my partner. This was (is) a lot better than the Campbell's beef broth.

so far so good

Tina

      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.
