Banded yesterday!



Recommended Posts

I was banded yesterday everything went alot better than I thought. I feel great about the decision I made and so relieved that part is over I have a lot of work to do on this side of it but I am ready to work with my tool. No gas pain minimal pain but I have had 4 major abdominal surgeries so this was a little easier for me. I got to the hospital at 12pm checked in and surgery at 2 I was on my was home by 3:30. down 20 pounds from pre op diet (I need to figure out how to have one of those weighloss tickers :) But just wanted to come back here and let you all know it went great and I am very excited about the future! I started going to a therapist and go to an AA group for my additcion to food <--really helps and free!

      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.
