Due this week to be banded



Recommended Posts

hey vcompton...I was also done by Dr. Pinnar. Are you going to go to any of the support meetings?

Hope you are feeling much better. I was actually off the hydrocodene a couple days after the surgery, although I found sleeping on my back with an ice pack helped.

PM me if you'd like to get together or if you are going to any of the meetings. :)[/quote

Hi, sorry I very seldom get on this site...I just saw this message today... I have not been to any meetings....Did you have yours done by Robert Pinnar.... (the father) I did and they were great.... I feel good...I have lost like 30 pounds since Oct 12th...and could have lost more but I asked to prolong the first fill until another week...I had some discomfort in the mornings...That has gone away now...How about you....? When did you get banded...I have not been to any meetings yet.... Have you...My name is Vicki... :clap2:

      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.
