Banded 5 days ago



Recommended Posts

Hi I was banded 5 days ago and the first 2 days I could barely drink anything. I was told to drink slowly and about 2 oz per hr. I have been doing that but now I want more than 2 oz because I'm so hungry!!! Is this normal??

It is. Drink more. Just don't guzzle.

And you will be hungry till you get a fill that gives you restriction. Until then it's just another diet. Bet no one told you about that did they?

Drink as much as you want. You will be hungry its normal. Now is the time to get strong, find other things to do with your time then think about food. It will be over in no time and you will be on to normal life.

Omg thanks for telling me this I felt like I was committing a crime by drinking a little extra and yes ur absolutely right I was not informed of when I was gonna get a fill I was automatically assuming they I was already filled and that I was not gonna be hungry

      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.
