Anyone Want To Be My Band Big Sister Or Brother?



Recommended Posts

First time using a forum. Don't know anyone personally that has the band of gold. Should be banded by December, postponed from 10/30 due to insurance and hospital certification. Just want to learn the ropes from your wisdom. Thanks from New England.

Thanks! My kids said since my nickname is jo, my username had to change to banjo. Being from boston, thought wicked cool was appropriate. Kids won!

So tell me about day 10. Handling it ok?

Day ten is okay. Don't get me wrong I'm still really sore but I can handle it. I noticed the more I get my walks in the better I feel each day. I haven't taken my pain medicine in three days that should tell you something. I'm in the full liquid stage I started Friday kind of boring can't wait till next Friday I'll go to mushy. Lol

Thanks. How is life at 6 weeks post op? I still haven't gotten a date even though my pre ops are all completed.

Can't wait for my life part 2 to begin!

      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.
