Had a fall at 5 weeks



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

*not complaining for once - everything feels so good with the band and just started my first stall but not the issue today*

I had a fall where I landed on my side and I am wanting to know if this would be of any risk to the band slipping / port flipping etc at 5 weeks or would it be sturdy in place? I feel fine (was hungry after recovering lol) but when I read where ports flip etc idk the cause. Office is closed and will be calling Monday but if anyone has any advice greatly appreciated

Oh my my, girl are you sure you STILL feel okay? Yes definitely get it checked Monday, if not sooner, you have made a commitment to better health, don't want you hurt or worse÷

Just woke up slightly sore on the hip where the landing (good bruise) was and shoulder where the second landing was (falling up then down stairs) but re band port stomach etc I feel fine no pain or any discomfort. Not sure if there would be pain there if something went wrong. Monday definitely calling up to discuss but was panicked yesterday given 5 weeks out :)

You’re gonna be fine! They sew the port into your muscle under the fat

      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.
