Recommended Posts

Its official, I'm banded. I got home from the hospital today. Just tired but not too sore, accept my neck. The work part of the entire surgery was the anasthea when they put the tube down your throat. My throats hurts worse. On to my liquids! Thanks every.

I am so proud for you. Make sure and take it easy and give your body plenty of healing time. Some Aloe Vera juice would sure be good for your throat. So the surgery wasn't bad? Mine is coming up in a month.

Will be thinking about you and again, congratulations, your now a bander!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap2:

Julie...YOU DID IT GIRLY!!! :) Welcome to the other side. :banana I knew you would be fine. So glad to hear from you. I agree on the aloe vera juice, my home will never be without it. Try some warm broth for your throat. You know, my neck was sore too. I think it was positioning on the table or something. :eek: Keep in touch!!

      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.
