Recommended Posts

Hello Alabama Bandsters!

I was just banded yesterday, 3/14/08, in Tuscaloosa.

So far, everything is going fine! I am looking forward to sharing experiences with other bandsters from Alabama.

I was banded Thursday in Tuscaloosa. I am still in DCH because of blood clotting issues. How are you feeling?

I seem to be doing great! Just a little sore, and no problems on the full liquid diet.

I'm sorry you are still in the hospital. Was the extra hospital stay anticipated?

Hello, did you both have it done by Dr Bilton? I was done 1/28 by him. Do you attend the Genenis meetings? IF not, we meet at DCH in the Willard Autortourim (?) at 6pm 3rd thursday of the month which is this coming 3/20. Would love to see you and hear how things went.

As you can see in my sig. I have lost 26 lbs. :rolleyes: I just got my first fill this past monday. My wife got the RNY done 12/19 by Dr B and has lost 50lbs !!!!

Hope to see you Thursday :tt2:

Congratulations to you and your wife on the great weight loss!

Yes, I was banded by Dr. Bilton. I have been to the Genesis meetings a few times since the fall. It was great to hear the advice and success stories.

I'll try to make it Thursday night!

      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.
