Who's Getting Banded in August???



Recommended Posts

I am still post op, was banded August 7th. I suspect that the pain I am having will be aroud for a while.

I am around for a while here, some bruising and soreness around the fill port. The rest is almost free of pain.

:crying: Finally had my turn. I was banded on Monday, August 4th, and all is good. Had some nausea but nothing too band. I did have a cold bug (sore throat, stuffy nose, etc) at the same time and it was worse than the surgery. :)

Good Luck tomorrow Sam and Sweetpea!!! You'll both be just fine! I had my surgery August 5th, 2008, and feel great. I went shopping today and spent all afternoon at the mall, and I'm starting to feel almost normal again. I've lost 5 pounds since the surgery and I'm already starting to feel a bit smaller. This is the best thing ever!

I also want to wish you both luck. I was banded Monday on August 4 and feel pretty good. I lost 4 lbs since Tuesday when I came home. Try not to be scared Sam, the worst part is the anticipation.

Let us know when you get home.

Take Care,

LindaGail

      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.
