Recommended Posts

hello everyone! i was banded on 11/19, and went home the same day...had lots of pain and didnt think the tylenol w/codeine was going 2 cut it...but i did lots of walking and sipping. by the 2nd day my sister was dragging me out of the house2 walk around my neighborhood and also 2 the grocery store. 2day is my 3rd day banded...no pain meds all day just gas x, Protein Shakes (little by little) and walking....im finally able 2 lie on my side, pull myself up w/o cringing in pain, and (release some of this built up gas)...i feel A LOT better, but am nervous about drinking too much and having some trouble remembering to keep sipping...i had 2 popsicles yesterday and got really full and freaked out for a minute then realized it was just liquids and calmed myself down lol...cant wait until i can at least have some "mushies" i have my tuna, faux lasagna (minus the noodles) dried Beans for Soups etc all stocked up....will continue to post as i go... :)

My back and sides are extremely sore. I have been walking around and that seems to help with the gas. But my lower back is very sore like I have pulled a muscle or something. Hope it stops soon.

I made mine in layers in a bowl. Ff ricotta cheese, dash of nutmeg, spinach or zucchini that I blended first, Tomato sauce, sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Heat in microwave.

It was sooo good. I even replaced veggies above with canned pumpkin once. It was to die for!

      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.
