Recommended Posts

I am now banded (3rd June) i have 5 wounds but only 1 is giving me pain, it also bled a little last night but seems fine today, going to keep my eye on in. I was glued back together which i.o not too keen on.

I have drank peppermint tea, had warm bags on my chest and try and walk around a little to get shed of the gas pain, it.s slowly going :)

Not looking forward to injecting myself today but it.s got to be done :s

Is it the blood thinner shot in the belly? It's not bad at all and I hate needles. When I had knee replacement my daughter did them for me they are quick and easy.

I was banded on the 4th as well and my pain originates at the main incision site. Luckily I have no gas pain.

Good Morning June Bandsters!

I just got confirmation from the Dr's office and my Renaissance Day is June 19th! :wub:

I go for pre-op with the Dr. on Thursday this week, and then at the hospital on Monday the 11th. I'm excited and kinda nervous. For those of you already banded, what has been your down time from work?

This is my first post. I start my pre opp diet on saturday, and my surgery is on june 29 in toronto, canada. I am exicted and nerves all in one but i know i can do it with the help of my husband and my family. I have to do a pre opp diet for three weeks. i have three Protein Shakes a day and low calarie veggies. I was told it is to try to get ride of up to 25% of fat in your liver to make the surgery safer.

Blackleopard, do you live in the Toronto area or are you flying down? Where are you be being banded. Sorry about the 20 questions, I'm just excited to see someone getting banded in Toronto. I am being banded June 22nd at Slimband.

My liquid diet is only for two days as well. It may be for lower BMI's? I'm not sure though...possibly Doctor's preference. But my liquid diet after surgery is for 2 weeks. My surgery is on the 7th!!

Sometimes nervous is good. It's good energy. Look at it this way, tomorrow is your "birth"day. You get a chance to start over and do it right this time. Good Luck and Congrats!

The more you are able to move, the quicker the soreness will go away. My surgery is June 13th so I will be joining the ranks 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.
