All sept banders are you up for a challenge?



Recommended Posts

I have a friend that did the RNY and all she had to do was liquids for 3 days. For me, I had a 2 week liquid diet with the last 2 days being nothing but clear liquid. THe reason is to have the liver shrink and to get the fat away from the liver. That's what the surgeon told me.

When were you banded and how much have you lost so far? I am getting so excited and anxious. I can't wait to get started back on my exercise regimen. I am going to smoke that tradmill!

I was just banded on Sept. 7th. I had a 2 week liquid diet pre-op. With that I lost 13 pounds. What a challenge that was! But I made it.

I haven't weighed myself since the surgery. I am so bloated with gas that I know the scale will not contain the true weight. I need to wait for a week and then see.

I had to do the 2 week liquid diet. It was a challenge! I was lucky to have good friends at work that supported me and also went on the 2 week liquid diet with me, this helped me alot!

Hi, to get the ticker to show up, you need to copy the link that says bbcode on your ticker page. then you need to go to edit your signature on lapbandtalk.com. take out the link you have and then replcae it with the bbcode link. Then click on preview and it should show you your picture. THen save your signature. Hope this helps!

for the ticker the code would not work for me so I just right click on the picture, select copy, then paste into your edit signature- this worked for me.

Hi everybody, I was banded Sept 8th a little sooner than expected. I wasn't on any pre diet so day 4 is a little rough because I actually feel hungry today. Overall this procedre was so different than I expected.First off my incisions are so small, and pretty much painless. The only thing thats bothering me now(and I'm wondering if it is normal) every now and then I get this bulid up of pain in my sternum area that basically feels like I'm swallowing my burps, man if that stopped I would be golden. Anyone else have that pain or should I be concerned?

I am being banded on September 20th in Mississauga, Ontario. I am currently on Day 7 of the Optifast liquid diet and have lost 10 lbs.

Scurvymonster...I think the buildup in the sternum is just gas pain but if you are concerned you should call your Dr. just to be sure.

Happy to join the September bandwagon!!!

I had the chills for about the first 3-4 days, could not get warm, which is very odd for me, I am always hot! After about the 4th day I was fine. It should pass, maybe just your body still in shock from surgery!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
