First Post Op Appointment Since Being Banded 9/11



Recommended Posts

I have my post op appointment this morning at 8 am. I'll be glad once I talk to the surgeon and get more of an idea on what to expect with this port. it's weird throughout the day it feels like the port is more hidden but on the morning it s more pronounced feels like it's protruding.

My appointment went very well I lost 6 pounds that wk making my total weightloss 15 lbs.dr was very happy with my progress and said as long as I continue to lose there is no need for a fill right now. I go back on 10/9 for another checkup and possibly a fill.

Its HUGE adjustment the surgery fixes our stomach but not our mind. I'm not prefect but I try my best everyday. There are days where I'm not hungry at all and then there are days that I'm starving. Try to stay away from high calorie high fat food foods. I still have my reg coffee with either skim milk or reg cream, or a slice of pizza that I chew very well no crust. Its all about choices and how bad you want to lose this weight once and for all. My dr said he would give me a fill at 3 weeks if I want and I'm not losing.however I'm still listing down a total 24 lbs. I'm pleased with that and still have approx 53lbs to go

      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.
