Banded on July 31st!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi, Im Keith from South Jersey...and I am addicted to food...LOL

I am getting the band done at Temple U in Philly. Right now I am in the process of a full liquid diet. My surgeon requires it two weeks prior to surgery to help make the liver smaller. It hasnt been too bad. I am looking forward to reading people success stories and suggestions.

Hey Keith, glad the pre-op is going well for you. Stick with it - there was a lady in our area who cheated on the pre-op and after starting the surgery they closed her up and wouldn't continue. good luck! Kathy

      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.
