March 2007 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hello all March Bandsters - I was banded on March 1, 2007. I am feeling great - I've been up walking and not hungry at all. I think this is going to work. If you are banded in March I would love to keep in touch since we will all be in the same boat.

Welcome all March bandsters.

I could find a March Bandster page so I created this one - only to find it later. Here's the link:

Hi, I am getting banded on monday the 12th. I'm super excited but really nervous because i've never had a real surgery(thank gosh its not very invasive). Im hoping to lose 40 to 50 lbs. by graduation which is at the end of may. So enough about me how did you do with the liguid diet? its only for a few days so it should be easy. but the mashed foods is gonna get tricky! I would love to keep in touch with you so i can know how well ppl are doing! and CONGRATS on your new self!!!!

Well today is the day I get banded. Thought I would be more nervous, but right now I am doing ok. This board has been so helpful. So many questions have been answered. It's one thing to read the literature from the company that makes the band, but hearing other real people's experiences is absolutely invaluable. Anyway, wish me luck today.

Regards,

Keith

Hello Everyone. I was banded on March 1st and I have been recovering well. Except on day 5 I have been having pain in my shoulders and back. I think it was from gas from the surgery. I wonder if you can massage is out. Has anyone else had this problem. I came upon this sight a couple days ago and I am so happy that I found it. I also had Soup today hot and sour soup so it had some tofu and I am scared that I messed something up I feel guilty.:phanvan

      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.
