Realize Band



Recommended Posts

Wanted to know I any one has the Realize Band. After Surgery I was told what band I had. I got home and looked at the info about the band. It has a awesome support web page. Very interactive. I lets you personalize your goals and your weight loss and also a nutritional tracker. I think it will all be great.

I have the Realize band too, for 6 days now, but I havent been able to sign into the website. I don't have the "right number" to put in, it needs like a 12 digit number. I'll try t o get it when I go to my post op appt tomorrow.

I'm going to be banded on the 26th with the realize band and am so pumped. When I went to the preop nutrition classes they handed out packages from realize about the realizemysuccess with our dr's id # so I just logged in for the first time and it's awesome. My dr's bariatric coordinator actually went to NY for classes on how to use realizemysuccess, the other cool thing is the dr's office can see your progress and will get alerts if you have logged in without tracking a weight loss. it allows them to be able to track your progress and know more about how to help you if you need it. i can't wait to get my patient id though so i can access all features!!

      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.
