I had my op.. I am now banded



Recommended Posts

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 :D

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 :D

      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.
