Hi everyone. I'm new to this, but would love to meet other bandsters. I will be banded on 6/13/06 by Dr. Shawn Garber on Long Island, New York. Anyone else?

Well, got banded 6/6. Feeling much better now. 3rd day was the worst. Really not bad overall. I'll be on liquids for 5 weeks, so i'm doing cream of chicken, Protein Shakes and the like. I do notice that my stamina has been affected... I guess it will just take time. Now, does anybody have any good ideas for low cal liquids that taste yummy?

rebndave: There is a "sticky" on the food thread with some liquid ideas.

The best thing I have found is Gatorade, Shaved Ice, Mock Tortilla Soup, Cucumber Soup (you can search that and find the receipe), and Isopure shakes.< /p>

I have tried baby food, broth, Jello, pudding, but nothing beats that shaved ice... even with nothing on it, it is so easy on the tummy!

Barbara,

I don't know about Cindy's dr but my dr. only makes us do liquids for 24-48hours and then it is soft diet after that for 4 weeks. Melissa posted a list of soft food on one of the earlier pages that is very helpful.

It's good to see something on here from you. I was getting a little concerned. I've not heard of dilated pupils from anesthesia.

I am still dealing with dizziness. I thought it was getting better but this morning it's bad again. It's causing some nausea but not unbearable....yet. Any thoughts from anyone out there will be appreciated. I ate a few bites of oatmeal this morning with real sugar. Someone had suggested that I might need the sugar. I willing to try most anything at this point.

Happy Monday to all. Good luck to who are being banded this week and to those of us who are still recovering.

Sissi,

I had problems getting the ticker to work also. I had to try one of the other options other than HTML. I think it is the "bbCode". Also, if you do the preview, it will show you if it worked or not before it sends. Good luck! I hope this helps.

Guys/Gals: If you search "tickercentral" in the search section it will bring up about 10 threads on the ticker thing. I went to tickercentral.com copied and pasted the bbcode into my sig... and it worked just fine.

Now for my update.... I am sooooo hungry!!!! I am worried, cause my whole shake went down with no restriction this morning... no pain... Oh goodness... I am going to attack some mashed potatoes or something!!! ***deep breath*** Goodness... I never thought that mashed potatoes would sound so good!!!!

      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.
