Hello Bug, thanks for thinking of me. I am feeling better. I went to the doctor and he said my lungs were clear, but put me on Levaquin (antibiotic) just in case and gave me some strong cough medicine with codeine. Well, after about 2 days, my cough subsided and I am starting to feel much better. He thinks it was just bronchial irritation from the tube down my throat for anesthesia. I am hungry again and feel like I can eat a lot, but I am limiting myself to 1 cup of food even though I feel like I could eat more. I think the swelling has gone down now and without a fill, I am feeling hungry. I think I will be going for my fill at 4 weeks. I don't feel much different now than before surgery. I have been losing very slowly also. I'll keep you posted. Take care.

Sandy

Hi Bug, yep, everything is fine now that I'm eating real food. Never thought the day would come. I even experienced my first stuck food episode. Ate some really dry chicken and didn't chew well enough and guess what? It didn't feel very good. I guess it's going to take some practice eating with the band. I can't imagine what it will be like with the fill. How does anything go down? I am a little nervous. I'll keep you posted on my progress and you do the same okay?

I was banded November 5 2008 and I live in Spring Hill, but I'm actually in Pasco County right off of SR 52. I've lost just about 20lbs since my pre-op diet started.

I'm looking for those who would like to meet up for exercise, cooking classes, and general supportive efforts. I am a trained professional cook. I'd like to come up with some recipes for pre-op and post-op stages that are delicious and healthy.

I was also banded in Tijuana by Dr. Corvala. If anyone has questions about my experiences I'd love to talk to you. It was a FIRST Class operation in Mexico and I was treated like a queen.

Kisses to all,

Chefette:biggrin:

Hello in Spring Hill, I am also in Spring Hill and scheduled for my surgery on July 31st. I will be traveling to Parker, Colorado for my surgery because I decided against Mexico. How did yours go? Any complications? I am a little nervous, but very excited at the same time. I am starting out at 255 lbs. I hope we can stay in touch and compare notes. Good luck to you and don't get discouraged. The weight will come off. My name is Sandy and hope to hear from you.

Hi I live in hudson just down the road. How are u doing? I got banded 8-23-13 from dr grossbard in Zepyrhills. I haven't done real well. Not the band just can't keep food down most of the time. I haven't had a fill yet either. So I'm doing something terribly wrong. I usually slime up most of my first few bites...exceot eggs some chicken noodle dishes and fish and Protein smoothies. Some other things. Possibly not eating slow enough or chewing it up but I feel I do. Sorry I didnt mean to run on. Maybe you have some tips. Thx

      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.
