Banded in September



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since September 26, 2006. My doctors are Dr. Hamli and Dr. Tran. To date I have lost 40 lbs. I'm due to go back to the Doctor on Jan. 19 for a full and check up. I'm hoping the wieght loss will speed up with the full. This is my first. I'm a little worried that I'm not doing as well as others who have had the surgery. Please let me know if you feel I doing okay.

Catfish... I Think Your Doing Great. I Was Banded On The 5th And I Have Lost 36lbs. I Have Even Had 2 Fills Already. You Haven't Had Any So That Makes The 40lbs Even More Impressive. We Would All Like To Lose It Faster But Remember Slow And Steady Wins The Race. Good Luck And Keep Up The Awesome Work.

Once again thanks for making me feel welcome.

      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.
