I had my op.. I am now banded

B4by Ph4t · July 14, 2006

Just letting you all know I had my op on the 12th..Got out of hospital on the 13th and am up and moving about today

I am still a little tender and have the weirdest pain shot through.. I think it may be one of those NON burp things I read about on here..

I'm a little confused as to what I can and cant have? I know I should be having Clear Liquids right? But the hospital made me eat yohgurt? And also about how much liquids I should be having I seen 2 different dieticians and they have told me 2 different amounts?

Everything so far has been really good.. My family has been amazing and my sister comes around everyday to look after me :biggrin1:

Anyway enough from me.. Im going to go read up on a few things..

Cheers all

Congratulations on being banded. If you're allowed to eat yogurt, it sounds like you're on a FULL liquid (clear Soups, Tomato Soup, yogurt, pudding, shakes, etc.). Make an appt. to see ONE nutritionist and follow the plan she/he advises. Have a speedy recovery.

You REALLY need to have your doc tell you SPECIFICALLY what to eat, and when you can make changes tio diet. If he hasn't given you that info, then you need to insist that he does.

This is all about a plan, and he needs to provide you with one.

Cheers for the replies and advice

I got done at the Williamstown Hosptial ( Dr Nottle )

I re read all of my notes from the first dietition and will stick with what he said.. He works at my surgeons office so I will go with his one :eek: I was just a little confused about how much liquids I should be having the hospital told me I can drink as much as like but my notes suggest otherwise.

I cant believe how fast the recovery is..The tenderness has gone and Im feeling 98% normal again I thought it would have taken a lot longer.. Im really happy with my choice :confused:

WooHooo bring on the changes
