March 25 banded



Recommended Posts

Hi I was banded on March 25, 2013. I had my first follow up post op visit April 4. Pre liver shrinking diet weight was 232, current weight is 213. I started the "moonshies" on Friday. Never been so happy to eat a scrambled egg in my life. I also had a hiatal hernia repair, and get to go back to work Monday, April 8. I have found that I M not hungry, yet, on this current phase. I can no longer drink Decaf coffee, weird, since I was able to do that during the liquids only phase. My energy level has increased, and I have dropped an entire pant size. I voiced concern about gaining weight during this phase, and my nutritionist told me to expect some, but to keep my focus. I can't have any breads or Pasta or red meat yet, so my meals have consisted of a Protein Shake, injury, for Breakfast , cottage cheese and canned chicken for lunch, and salmon for dinner.

I look forward to a lot of success on the band!

      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.
