April Dates



Recommended Posts

Hey Lou! Glad to hear your doing well...im freaking out only 2 more days for me. So far what do u feel is diff fron when u had the band surgery? Pain? Hunger? Etc

Reflux is gone so far. I'm able to drink Water in the morning... with the band I would throw up anything including water before noon. I'm still only five days post op and on liquids only. I would have a better idea when I move to regular foods.... I had a lot of gas pain but I think I walked it off today at the mall. I had to sit a few times and burped a lot. My incisions are starting to itch. When I got the band, the cut a nerve causing my left leg to go numb. I think they cut it again, because they used most of the same incision sites. My leg feels more numb than before... As far as hunger. I'm not hungry but am having a lot of head hunger. I still want the foods, but am not physically hungry. With the band I was starving all the time so that is a big difference. Hope this helps!

Lol. I had a lot more pain after the band. The only pain I'm having is really swelling and gas pain. With the band, my actual stomach hurt. I had horrible pain with drinking even tiny sips of clear liquid would make me scream out from chest pain. The bypass has been a breeze in comparison to the surgery to get the band.

Post op day 3 is a lot better than day 2. I haven't had any pain meds today. I am still sore around a couple incisions. I was able to eat most of my Breakfast, now I just got to focus on Water. I have a awful headache today. Burping hurts also.

      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.
