April 3rd band date



Recommended Posts

Know there are April banders out there, why is our month so empty? I was banded April 3, 2014 three days later I feel fine, just tired off and on, I am tired of these gas pains and falling asleep randomly. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Tomika

I was banded April 1st and doing good now. First couple days were yucky and gas lasted through yesterday (day 5). I still have some pain when I move certain ways but other then that I am good. I go back to work tomorrow, which scares me a little. I am able to drink my Protein better at this point and getting in what my doctor recommends.

Today is day for me, I feel better, I have gas pains when I walk up my stairs to my apartment, it's horrible. However last night was the first time I was able to sleep in my bed, which was awesome because I've been sleeping on my couch.

Hi! I was banded on April 3rd. I am glad the first week is over and I do not have any more pain. My diet can include puréed Soups this week, but the hunger still isn't there.

I am hungry...until I actually go to eat... It's crazy. Tonight I puréed the chicken and Soup part of chicken dumplings and couldn't eat it, I became nauseous

Not so much... I am doing a lot better now. Mushy wasn't that bad, it was weird to blend my chicken, and it did change the taste of the food.

      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.
