January Bandsters???



Recommended Posts

Hey June,

You can do your pre-op, every time you are tempted to cheat think about your liver!!! I cheated a couple of times on my pre-op, but when I started thinking about my liver and how important it was to shrink it up for the operation I did better.

You CAN DO IT!!!!!!

I overate on liquids and feel like throwing up.

I also drank before and after and feel awful

can you sit and wait for this to pass? it must feel very bad. is this restriction? have you had it before? i feel your pain (even tho i don't have restriction yet). watch tv--try to distract yourself. it's got to pass--no?

I have had a lot of restriction since surgery. I am day 10 post op right now. I didn't realize I had to follow bandster rules about drinking before, with and after meals. I think that aggrevated it!

i think you just had too much--you have to wait for it to settle down. you're probably very full. i had surgery this past monday ...so i kind of know what you mean. i drank too much soup--then iced tea--was too much--we have to get used to cutting back! our eyes are now bigger than our stomachs!

If I get that one bite too many feeling, it seems like walking around helps.

Hope your better soon Audree

You know what I am talking about then! Man, we have a lot to learn! I am going to just go to bed.

What did you do?

Audree, I hope you are feeling better. I was told that if I thought I have eaten too much, to walk, walk, walk and to raise my arms over my head. That is supposed to open up the esophogus. Also told not to drink anything for an hour or two or until the sick feeling is gone.

Let us know how you are doing.

      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.
