Recommended Posts

Today I got my band!! Everything went smooth. Dr fixed my hernia also. When I woke up wow, the pain was intense!!! After multiple shots of pain meds it was better. Maybe more pain because of the fixed hernia? Sitting at home and feel ok. Getting up is a bit rough but I am holding a pillow to My stomach and that helps. Eating sf popsicles. My throat is sore too because they had to put a tube down me. Hoping sleep will be ok. Best wishes to anyone that had their band today!! Thank You all for your support, encouragement and love!! Hugs!!

Congratulations! You take good care of yourself and follow Drs. orders.

During the day, get up every 2 hrs and walk a little, it helps a lot.

Need anything, we're here for you.

      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.
