Recommended Posts

Hi Jetlagjane!

Welcome to the banded side...im a week and a half new myself. A few days after my surgery I did endt up calling the clinic as I had such a pressure/discomfort where the port was. It felt like someone was just pushing down. my hear t was also kinda hurting if that makes sense. She told me it was all normal and would decrease in intensity as the days went by. I had the surgery June 7 and everyday is getting better for me. I still have some weird feelings inside but I expect that sort of stuff.

Like everyone is saying everyday gets better! Do what I did...keep counting the days down till something else exciting comes...like the shower, the full Fluid stage and next week counting down to puree....it will get easier :)

hey consafo,

Did you take your little strips off your cuts too? even your port one. I can't remember if they told me to do that or not, or was I dreaming. The last couple of days have been a blur.

Jetlagjane, NOOOOO

Don't take those puppies off yet!!!

Did they give you the little folder thing with information?

Well, in there is states you take those off on day 7 through 10, and the cuts should be healed before you take them off

Yeah, the days become less blury...i swear that demrol have me a stutter...lol

Marcar35,

I wish I could afford Chanel products!

I'm a fashion student, so it would make my day to try on the designers I aspire to be!!

      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.
