new bandster with a question



Recommended Posts

Well everything went well. I am tired and sore....and oh the gas pains are fun!!!! I am getting the reaching and picking up things. I do have help until next friday.....thank good ness for that! My baby finally took the bottle so I am at least not worrying she will starve to death because I am not ready to give up the narcotics....still hurting too much. My doc also had to fix a hiatal hernia...maybe that makes it worse...not sure.

Hi Dawnae,

I wish you well on your recovery. Each day you will feel better. Keep in touch.

Lynn

flabuless I am so jealous. My milk is dried up....and Rose really took to the bottle when she realized that she was getting so much more so fast....she had lost two pounds over the last two weeks. I am really sad....she is my last baby and I wanted to enjoy the cuddling and breast feeding longer. Oh well, as long as she is healthy most important thing.

Hey is this normal everybody.....banded five days ago, and I am hungry, and then I have this horrible sensation of something coming up from my gut and trying to escape through my chest and neck, and it is not fun!!! Am I swallowing wrong????

Hi Dawnae!! I started to feel hungry around day 4 or 5 because I was still on Clear Liquids. Once I could eat full liquids it wasn't as bad. I'm not sure what the sensation in your gut is...does it hurt?

      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.
