Update on band dilation



Recommended Posts

Hello all, Well I went for a swollow atudy today to find that my pouch had shrank down to normal size after 2 weeks of eating properly. Thank Goodness!! I was nervous there for a sec, or more!! Well we didn't go right up to my 3cc point we put in 1cc then he had me drink contrast and saw reflux and said thats too tight so we went down to 3/4. My first day wasn't that good but today is ok.

Well just thought I would update my info, thanks for listening!!

Thanks everyone!! Heather I messaged you back don't no if you received it. I am having some problems with getting sick but I don't think I am too tight since I was 3CC filled and now only 3/4 of a CC. I think I need to have more self control with eating cause when I just 1 egg for Breakfast it stays in but lunch and dinner seem to gove me a little problem. Well I see that this is a life long battle that I am going to have to get a grip on. Thanks for all the support it means alot!!

      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.
