Almost Two Weeks From Banded



Recommended Posts

Nd I ate some soft oatmeal Cookies. I chewed the hell out of them, and they tasted delicious!!!! But two was plenty for me! That has never happened, eating only two small cookies. So happy!! Sad news, though, I can no longer wear my wedding ring as it now slips of my finger to the point I'm afraid I'm going to lose it.

ring story is great, you'll have to get it resized when you are at goal weight!

be careful with Cookies, carbs make us want more carbs!!

Be careful with eating solid foods this soon after banding...most surgeons don't allow a normal diet until a month after surgery to allow the stomach to heal. Please be sure to follow your doctor's orders.

I go on solids on Friday. I can eat oatmeal right now, so I don't see how 2 oatmeal Cookies are much different especially when I chew them to purée standards. :P

I'm doing well with carb intake. :) weighed today and I'm down 25lbs since surgery on the 2nd!

Wow. 25 pounds down since banded on the 2nd. That is GREAT. I was banded on the 3rd and only 14 pounds down.

I've got a LOT to lose (545lbs banded weight) so I'll lose more, faster, but will plateau soon.

      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.
