Low Bmi-Ers, Happy With Bougie Size? Any Regrets?



Recommended Posts

how do they use this, do they shove it down your throat and then once in belly use that as a guide to cut around?

I am also low bmi (33 /34) and I asked in my follow up the size. Which was 34. I asked after the fact. Then I wondered If I had a choice or does he only have one size lol. I would have proffered the largest but I didn't think was my choice. If you have not been sleeved I suggest you ask. I know I would.

I got sleeved on the 5 th i am a band revision. Honestly going well other than Bad heartburn. I did not have it before. For most it goes away after a couple months , hope I am one of lucky ones. Was very weak on Clear Liquids and now way way better on full liquids. :). Minimal pain maybe just with certain movements and mainly on my removal of Port. Lost 8 since morning of surgery and since started full liquids on Thursday scale has not moved and I am ok with that. :).

      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.
