Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

I was told not to by my nutritionist. I have not had caffeine or any carbonation in 9 weeks. After about 4-5 weeks I was craving a diet dr pepper soooo bad. Saturday I was really thirsty and my mom had a coke zero which i used to love. I tried one sip. It burned my tongue and tasted like dirt. So i think i am ok not drinking them anymore ;)

Carbonation is a no no because it can move the band.

I got my first fill yesterday :) I was nervous to eat anything at first so I had cottage cheese and everything went well. For dinner had chicken, peas and 2 bites of mashed potatoes.

Keep up the losing journey!!!

I miss the burn of an ice cold Coke. I was also missing the flavors of my favorite ice cream sodas. I often have my favorite diet soda, flat, mixed with a vanilla Protein Shake. No way I can drink flat soda and I don't like plain vanilla Protein Shakes. Together they rock! I always have several open diet sodas in my fridge. I keep them open to make sure the carbonation is totally gone when i'm ready to use it.

That sounds good. I think I miss the crispness of the drink the most. I am a little over 2 mo out and really dont think about them much anymore. I found a 15 cal minute maid lemonaid and a diet tea that taste better then real sweet tea and it has helped so much. Thank goodness.

Hi Katie

Was your last fill done in the last ten days? It can take up to 10 days to get the full impact of the fill. Hopefully your not getting sick. I find some times I eat a little bit too fast and not chew enough or the food is too dry, and that happens. If you think it's the fill you may need a small defill. Good luck hope this helps.

      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.
