Recommended Posts

Hi wozzicat, I believe you and I were banded at the same place, I also have a 10cc band and I also was struggling to get liquids in for the first few days. These forums made me very nervous because I kept reading drink, drink, drink...and I wanted to reply I can't, I can't, I can't. My 3rd day was my worst day. But after that things to better day by day. Give yourself time, do what you can to drink but don't feel guilty if you can't get it all in. You eventually will. Best of luck!

lol, you should have been reading sip,sip,sip. At first it is just 1oz every 15min.

But it does get better by the end of 1wk.

Tiny you are with dr c? God I hope my third day isn't worse. I'm really thirsty. Thanks for your reply. Good to head about other people.

Yes, dr c. At swlc in miss. I think you'll be fine tomorrow, I was good day 2, but day 3 was worse for me mobility wise. The incisions gave me some grief, I quit taking prescribed meds, probably should've stayed on them another day. Live and learn.

Did you feel ok after your fill? I can't imagine being restricted more than I am. I am just a big Water drinker. I miss that right now.

Yes, no issues at all. Right now it's the swelling that you're having issues with. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll feel better once you get through these first few days. I had my first fill about a month after surgery, again no issues. I wanted to get another fill last week but I was flying out to Jamaica and they won't do a fill within 2 weeks of flying. Not sure why, perhaps someone else can answer that. Something to do with swelling/altitude..I think. So, will be getting a fill next Tuesday once I'm home.

Sorry, didn't answer you about restriction/fill. By the time you have your first fill, you won't have the restriction that you're feeling right now. Once the swelling goes away, your restriction will lessen as well.

      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.
