Couple banded 11 mos ago!



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I did not know that this even existed. I found it by accident while trying to find recipes or suggestions on what is easy and satisfying to eat. My husband and I had the band done Dec 2005 and we have lost collectively 170lbs. We are doing ok and trying to get our tightenings correct where we are consistently losing. Finding something to eat and drink are difficult. I feel good about finding this type of site.:clap2:

Welcome to the both of you. This is a great site. I can't help you with special food as I can eat most anything (except rice) as long as I go slow and chew it to death. There is a lot of good info here and this site helped me decide to be banded which was the best gift I could have ever given myself.

      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.
