Got banded this morning....Feb 5, 2014



Recommended Posts

I got banded today. I am having some gas pains and walking around as much as I can. Everything went great. Dr. Bagnato is my surgeon and he is great. I am excited to see my results. I will take a pic on the 4th of every month to see my progress. Hope to find a support group and clothing exchange in Warner Robins, Ga area...or at least see who would like to get one started.

It took about a week to get it all gone for me. However, I did end up back at the hospital for dehydration and a UTI. But all is well now. I feel great! Yesterday was the 4th, so it was weigh in day. I lost 16 pounds for the first month. I get my first fill on March 19. So that will be the next step.

Just take it day by day. It will get better and better. Congrats and you will do great!

      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.
