Finally banded yesterday



Recommended Posts

About an hour after I woke up I started walking! I walked every where yesterday and well today is a different story I am just hurting! I am having gas pains mid back and mid stomach! O I started my period the night before!

I feel ya girl! I started my period the night before my surgery, go figure! It hasn't really been a bad one so I guess I really can't complain, but still not something I want to be dealing with.

Is it weird that I don't know where my port is or even what size band I have. My surgeon never came to see me after.

I just caved in and took the liquid Vicodin.. I took 1/2 the dose!

I didn't get to see my doctor either cause we had a blizzard and it was extremely insane in there.. But my doctor just called me an hour ago and explained everything.

Yes! Gas pain was the worst. Try ice and ibuprophen if your doc allowed it. My doc told me to walk 10 minutes every hour I was awake to move the gas, and it helped. I was also sore around my incisions for about a month. I was banded in May, and have no regrets, though!

      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.
