medical stuff--beware



Recommended Posts

I pb it seems once a week and I haven't gotten to the point of vomiting for about 3 weeks. It happened more when I got my 2nd fill until I got used to the new restriction.

I don't really get constipated but, I don't go as often as I used to because I really don't take alot of extra calories to make that waste..seems almost everything I eat I try to keep healthy so it's all being used in my body. :)

Since having my second fill (4 days ago) I have PB'd every day.....I'm hoping this will settle down in a few days.

I have never vomited or had Constipation (touch wood) :confused:

I've Pb'd once in the 2 1/2 months I've been banded and going for another fill tomorrow so hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.

I don't have the Constipation problem and that's probably like Jack said just post op and my pb was my fault I was eating bread last week because I haven't been having a problem with it and I was eating it too fast and 10 min. later up it came. So keep it slow and you should be okay.

I pb'd quite a bit after both of my fills. But, once I remembered to slow down, take baby bites and chew to mush that stopped.

I do have major Constipation problems, especially for the past month. I have found that a little bit of good ol' Milk of Magnesia gets things "flowing" nicely and quickly.

      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.
