March 19 I Was Banded



Recommended Posts

So us march 19thers 9 days post op, is anybody started having discomfort between your belly button and the long incision?

OMG! Yes! It started today at work. I thought it was because the pants I was wearing came up a bit higher, and may have bee irritating my incisions. Super annoying and painful!

I also thought mine was hurting because I had my pants hiked up with a belt. I haven't worn a belt in FOREVER, but I had to because they were falling down!!! It kind of felt like a bunch of bees stinging me.

Mmmm soft food today yay!

So what did you try? I am dying to know because I start soft food tomorrow!

I had really moist/ mushy egg salad at lunch and runny mashed potatos approx. 1 cup. and for dinner I had creamed corn and egg salad. I guess about 1cup per meal and it's awesome to feel full. I'm not uncomfortable had no trouble.

Do you know if your band is empty or not? I was told to start I have 3cc's filled. I also have a bit of motivation with my hubby he was banded 1.5 yrs ago, I've seen him get "stuck" and I'm scared of that so I'm being super cautious.

I go in for my first fill today. Excited! Extremely! Because since I have been eating solids for what seems like forever I haven't lost more than 17 lbs. I have also been workkng out at the gym doing weight circuit. Could this be why i dot seem to be losig?

But on a side note.....I have had a non-scale victory. A ring that I have wore everyday for the last 9 years had went missing when we moved. This ring was getting very snug the last year or so and my boyfriend found it yesterday! Well, when I went to put it on it slipped right back off! I am sad because I can't wear it but so happy it is too big! Woohoo. Anyone else have a non-scale victory.

I was banded on the 18th (long story' date=' I know Sundays aren't normal!). I am working tonight, my first night back, it's a 14 hour shift and I feel ready for it. Today is day 2 with no pain pills. I am getting hungrier which sucks but I am concentrating on just having 1/2 full liquids 3 times a day and little Snacks. I think I am loosing weight a little too quickly? I have gone from 330 to 312. My incisions are healing up fantastic! I am getting some silicone tape from my sister to help prevent scaring! Hope you all are doing great! I am just hoping this hunger settles down![/quote']

Did you do a weeks liquid diet?

      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.
