Recommended Posts

I was banded on July 8th. I am a 36 yo female with about 150 lbs to lose. I have a 2 1/2 year old son and I work full time. I have been doing great post surgery. I have lost 25 lbs so far. I go back to see my surgeon on Thursday for my 1st post op visit.

Can anyone tell me how those tickers work?

I had my banding on July 30. I think this is going pretty well. It took forever to get rid of the gas though. Who knew gas could cause that much trouble?

How are you feeling??

I am feeling fine. The gas was pretty bad for me too! It made my shoulder hurt terribly. I thought I would never get rid of it all.

Hello everyone!!! I am 33 and happily married with a teenage son. I don't look in the 30's section often so I must have missed this post before :0).

I am over six months out and doing great so far. I would love to chat with any of you anytime.

      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.
