Got my band yesterday



Recommended Posts

Well, I had my lap-band surgery. My surgery was with Dr Tarnoff at Tufts-New England Medical Center. I feel pretty good. My surgery was at 8:30 am and I got home around 5 pm. My belly is sore, feels like I ahve been punched about 200 times in the stomach.....I had some tea and broth before I left the hospital More broth when I got home. Today I had about 2 tbs of yogurt with my pain meds mixed in it and a sugar free popsicle and a little Water.

So far so good. I live about 15 miles south of Boston and we got 10 inches of snow last night, so I guess I will just hang in the house for today.

Patty,

WOOHOO! Congrats on becoming a newer leaner you. Dont forget to walk around your house today. Not only for the gas but also to clear out your lungs. That kicked in the gut thing only lasted a couple of days for me.

Feel better and keep us posted.

      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.
