Anyone else being banded week of 4/7



Recommended Posts

Are you eating and drinking? I will try to drink about 3-4 ounces of gatorade 30 minutes before eating and I will usually eat a few bites and I am done, however my stomach is still growling, I feel full. I just did this for lunch and had about 5 small spoonfuls of my Soup and did not feel like eating anything else. My stomach is growling a little, so I will eat a few more bites when I feel hungry. Mind over matter. I am so used to eating more that my mind is telling me that I am hungry.

Hey, I have a question for those who got banded early last week. Are any of you starting to hurt where the incisions are? Not a bad hurt, almost like a healing hurt. I have been experiencing this for the past day or so and meant to ask about it sooner.

Anyone hitting the gym yet? I am meeting with my trainer tomorrow and feel fine... no really 100%... but my wife and friends all seam scared that I am going to do something bad to the band if I start playing tennis and golf and working out this soon (banded 4/7). Anyone else working out vigorously yet? I have never been one to take it easy as I have a hyper personality and I need a vent from working 15 hours a day in a job where I want to kill my boss... ok to much info... last worked out 4/6... going crazy... what is everyone else doing?

No my stomach is still a little sore so I wont be hitting the gym for a few weeks, at least. My doctor told me to wait like 4-6 weeks before hitting the gym. But do whatever your body is telling you to do. I would wait a little longer just to make sure your incisions heal a little bit more.

      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.
