Banded 6Th August 2012 Wales



Recommended Posts

Had my operation at Dolan Park Bromsgrove but live in west Wales so feeling a little isolated at the moment. On the whole I feel well apart from sever pain at night from trapped gas. It's affecting my sleep. It's a strange feeling as I don't know how I'm supposed to feel apart from fleeting hunger and fearful that I'm going to somehow break my band .

Would like to talk to all members but would be nice to know someone local as well.

Hi! Glad you are doing well after surgery. Make sure you are walking a lot. If you had you surgery in August, the gas pain should be gone by now. Remember that it will take the full six weeks to feel really good. Your body needs that healing time. Follow your doctors food and Water instructions. Let us know if you have any questions!

Your gas should be gone by now since Sept 6. SIP your Water and stay on liquids for a few more days to heal the stomach area. Protein shakes will give you most of what you need.

Best wishes and good luck on your recovery.

      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.
