January 25 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I have been drinking Water but not a gallon yet. Sure feels like I could. I am still getting used to the not gulping thing. I've caught myself a few times. I'm so ready for soft foods but I'm on full liquids for 2 more weeks. Ill abide by the proper diet but Soups are getting boring. I go for my post op check up tomorrow. We will see how it goes! :)

I have been doing pretty good! Down 41 since the pre-op diet, and down 27 since surgery. I hit a stall for a few weeks because I had no restriction, gained 6lbs and it slowly came off by the time I had to go in for a fill only losing 3lbs in that month. I got my first fill and it has been a challenge with my biting. I made a mistake and took a drink after I ate some things, and that just backed all the food up to one hot mess of a stuck. Hurt and the last time I will do that. The biggest thing that I have been trying to do is drink water! I have to agree with TXMama, I feel like a totally different person as well, I have never been so motivated in my life! :) I think that beats the numbers!

      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.
