Banded 5th september



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

well i'm finally banded, had a bit of a rough time & had to be re-addmitted, for dehydration, and not keeping on top of my pain meds, anyway 4 days post op, and feeling much better, + 11lbs down already, know this is not about weight loss at the moment, and is a time for getting better, but thought i'd hop on the scales this morning anyway!!:o

wishing you all the very best.

Take care

Hey Toots2,

Hang in there, this forum isn awesome! So much so that I can't stop reading it. I bet I was here 6 hr straight yesterday and here I have already started again today. My band date isn't until Sept 28 and I start my pre op liguid Sept 14 but I have found invaluable information and tips just from reading this amazing board.

I have read where people have just breezed through their surgeries and some who have really had a rough time. You are definitely have a rough time right now but we will all pray that it will be over soon and each day will begin to see you feeling better and stronger and ready to lose those extra pounds and get healthy!

Keep reading and posting and let us all know how you are doing. I know I will esp keep reading and counting down until I too become a bandster!

Blessings,

Docsdeb

      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.
