Banded on Friday 9/7



Recommended Posts

EL1 - I have also heard that the milicon drops for babies is good for adults too! My cousin used that instead of the gas x or the mylanta. Hopefully that will give you some relief!

My sister and I were banded 9/14 so only 4 days out, but we feel kinda "yucky"! We just don't feel good when we eat or drink anything! (and we are taking it slowly). The best I feel is when I'm asleep! Ha! Of course I get a lower backache then I guess I lay different to compensate for the stomach pain. When will I feel good again?

I'm feeling OK...I had surgery the same day as you and your sister. I'm still in pain, my port incision hurts the most. I try to get up and walk, walk, walk as much as I can. Even if it's up and down the rows here at school (I'm a teacher).

I'm doing okay with drinking my liquids...not sure how to help you with that! Maybe someone else has some tips :D

I probably should have taken an extra day off...but I wanted to be here for the kids...they started our State Testing today.

I'm also ready to get rid of this weight...I've been waiting since March for this day! I figure, the faster I recover, the faster I'll be able to do things!

      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.
