Anyone Just Had Their Band This Month?



Recommended Posts

Im new to this site and I just got my band May14 I was wondering if anyone was as hungry as I am? This liquid thing is not filling!!!

I loved my liquid phase. Here's a list of food I ate. For me having choices made all the difference. I also served myself from a tray and put yogurt in wine glasses. You do what makes you feel like a princess

Liquid low fat or nonfat yogurt. strawberry was my favorite

Ice pops sugarless I'm fruit flavored

Creamy Soups. Tomato leek corn lobster bisque creamed potato. chicken broth when I got extra hungry. You have to watch the sodium

Creamsicles

Protein shakes

Jello

Fruit juices cut 50/50 juice and Water

Hot tea

Good luck !!!!

Well I had my surgery May 11th. I was to start mushie tomorrow but decided to try it tonight. I did an egg and OMG it is delish!!! I haven't been hungry since my surgery but this tastes so good.

Isnt it funny Tammy how one little egg can taste so good! I really don't like eggs but the egg drop Soup saved me last week! Hope your doing well!

I'm new here and was banded yesterday.... Just sipping on Water ... Afraid to try anything ! Help

Don't be too afraid to drink the liquids... some of us were the same... I was. the first 48 water, water, water....so you don't dehydrate.. Then if you can get a Protein Shake in that's awesome... welcome to the other side. I am a week out and feel really good already! Best of luck on this new journey you will do great!

I was banded 5/17 and started mushies yesterday. I had some mashed potatoes and then broke down and made some homemade Tomato Soup with a dash of greek yogurt. It was so good. I haven't been getting that hungry with the small portions I have been eating.

I was banded on 5/22/12. I did Clear Liquids for 3 days & now I am on day 4. So I can move on to Full Liquids. I lived off of Liquid Isopure Blue Rasberry. Now I am enjoying Trader Joe's Butter Nut Squash, Vita Coco, & my Isopure powder - Double Dutch chocolate & low fat milk.

I am not hungry, but feel a bit light headed. Going to the RR regularly so I know I am staying hydrated. And finally had a BM this morning. (Sorry for the TMI).

How is everyone else doing?

Can you exercise now? My Doctor said walking is okay but no exercise yet! I am doing beans for dinner tomorrow.

To my knowledge I can only walk at this time and I've failed at that as far as exercise. I go to the doc on the 31st so I'm excited!! I'm not sure what will happen at that appt but will see. I have no complaints so far so smiles. I'm down 10lbs from surgery (May 11th) and 20 since starting my pre opt diet and very pleased.

Now since I've started eating mush I'm not sure on when to stop. So last night when I was eating refried bean, 2% cheese and low fat sour cream (which was delish) I ate about 1/4 cup and when I took a deep breath It felt like something was under my ribs so I stopped. This sure is a learning thing glad I'm a "good" listener....lol

Azhoselady let me know how your doing.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
