Recommended Posts

Good luck to all of you getting banded tomorrow. I'm right behind you on the 24th. It's my first step towards a positive change and improved self image... I can't wait to get through this. I know that the worst of the surgery will be over before I know it (2 weeks on shakes went by quicker than I thought it would)! All the best!

I had surgery on the 18!! I was back with friends by the 21! I went to the gym (live in AZ and we are already in the 90s) today and did some walking. I'm feeling great! but trying to stay with the post op week one diet is driving me crazy... I want to eat, and all of the Protein Shakes are starting to taste awful. My first appointment isn't until June!!!

If you would have asked me Fri, Sat, Sun, or before 1:00 yesterday I would have said don't have it done! Of course I had mine done Fri and was back at school Mon morning. I ran a low grade temp for a few days too. But around 1:00 yesterday I started feeling better. Except for the pain in my left shoulder, the occasional gas pain in my stomach, and the restriction I'm feeling so much better. I'm black & blue and my port site is tender but I'm so glad I did this!

I had mine today. I am at home and feeling miserable. I'm in a lot of pain. I walked around my living room a few times and that was painful. My back and my stomach hurt. Hope it gets better soon.

I'm having my surgery tomorrow morning. I'm hoping the post-op pain is not too bad. Hopefully the pain and discomfort pass quickly. I have four days to recover and then go back to work.

Good luck! I'm scheduled for 9:20am. I slept like a rock... for some reason I am not too worried about this surgery. Hopefully that's a good sign.

      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.
