Any November Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi I got my band November 10/15. Best decision I ever made wish I had done it years ago. I thought I had the

chewing down pat but not good enough. I learned that peas don't go down well unless you chew then chew more.

I noticed that I am not hungry in the night. Which is a bonus. And I fill up on very little food.

I had my first fill Jan 2/16. I did not notice any change yet.

Would love to hear from other November Bandsters.

Hi. I got my band on November 9th. I feel it was the best decision I made also. So far I've had two fills. My appetite has been suppressed tremendously. The problems I face are eating slow and chewing my food. Years of eating one way...I know it will take time to recondition my brain. Good luck with your journey!

I had a second fill and it was to much. It took a few hours after the fill and could not get even a tsp of Water down. I could not get some taken out till the next afternoon. Now I think I will be good for a while.

Yes it is really hard to retrain the brain to eat slower and chew chew chew. I find I am not hungry if I start the day out will powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein but if I miss it I feel hungry all day.

      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.
