Banded Oct 4th



Recommended Posts

Well it’s on , only 5 incisions and my Dr. told my wife that it was text book operation. I am bit sore; the pain med is working on that though. And I am now noticing some gas pain walking around is the only thing that helps. Was in bed for a while once I got home but getting up is no fun so I pace around. liquids are no problem I can’t wait to be off of the clear liquid and can add some Soups and slim fast back into my diet.

I know exactly how you feel. I was banded on the 3rd and everything went really well. Like you, I am pacing my house due to gas/wind pain. Fluids are going down no problem. Thank goodness for the painkillers cause they have helped heaps.

I can't believe all the build up to the operation is over and I am now officially banded - what a great feeling.

I am so glad to hear everything went well. I am leaving for my surgery in an hour. My stomach is so nervous. I can't wait to get this part over, I keep wanting to chicken out.

      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.
