Take 2...The Second Time Around-Band Replacement



Recommended Posts

Today is day 2 post op of my band replacement and hiatial hernia repair. I was originally banded October 2010 but due to excessive vomiting and "tight" issues I decided to do a "do-over" based on dr recommendations. I lost 30 lbs the 1st go round. Hoping to accomplish 70 lbs this time!

I was released from hospital today after my upper GI shows all went well. I'm a little sore but not hurting to bad. Definitely need to see progress this time around. My 1st time I had a lot of issues which made me think I had a slip early on and wasn't accurately diagnosed. I trust my Doctor and have confidence in him just wonder if this should have been repaired some time ago.

Making a commitment to myself right now to eat better and stick to liquids as long as possible. Definitely looking for support from those who had to do a replacement surgery.

      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.
