Recommended Posts

Today is my first day back at work. I am 12 days out of surgery and I feel good. Had my Vitamins and my Protein Shake. No one here at work know that I got banded so I have been getting a few looks on what I ate for Breakfast and some have told me I look thinner. And of course some are talking behind my back lol! Only thing I am dealing with today is that I am still feeling tired and my stomach is rumbling a lot!

I'm choosing not to tell anyone at work either. I had already been dropping g hints like "think I might try Atkins diet" that way when I'm drinking Protein Shakes it won't look so funny

Yea, well I told them prior to surgery that I was trying to eat healthier and started the shakes 2 weeks prior so I kinda did the same thing. Only one girl at work knows I did it and that's because she got the sleeve a year ago. So she can sort of relate to me.

I told no one at work...the good thing about the band is that the progress is not all-of-a-sudden, so my coworkers just assume I'm workin out and eating less (which is the truth!)

      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.
