Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone and thank you for all the support. I am now 2 days post op. I have very bad reflux, and all of day 1, I couldn't stop vomiting. Thant is all behind me now and I have started on the Soups and sustigen:thumbdown:, better than Optifast I suppose. Anybody have any suggestions for the reflux, I have tried infacol and that is not working. :crying:

You really need to get incontact with your surgeon, because there is medication that will help reduce the hydrochloric acid, that is causing your reflux, you dont need to suffer with this, the quicker it is sorted out the better you will feel.

How are all your aguast people who have been banded feeling? I can't wait to hear how your all doing, how your finding the new way of eating and how your weight is going.

Michelle, I am being banded on the 26th also. I have a feeling the 26th is going tobe a very successful day hahaha. How are you getting on on your pre-op diet?

oh no, danafreda, what are you allowed eat at the moment? Hopefully once you get your fill you wont be hungry anymore.

How did your surgery go? Did you stay overnight? Are you feeling all recovered now?

Hi Everyone, I am feeli8ng a lot better now thanks. It is now day 7 post surgery and I am a little over the Fluid diet. I am trying to think of different things to eat. I am only allowed to have things I can suck up a straw and no lumps. I will be going to the mushies on Thursday so I can't wait. I don't get my first fill till September i month after surgery. Thanks for all the support and I weigh in tomorrow night so I will let you all know how I go as I don't have scales at home.:mad2:

I start my clear Fluid diet all day tomorrow fro surgery on Tuesday. I am getting so nervous. I am wondering how I can keep it a secret if people are over for dinner or we are out and I can hardly eat anything. I am worried about vomiting or having problems. I think its all party of the pre surgery nerves.

Tess how are you getting on?

After my op, I asked my husband to hide the food I couldn't eat. He would put it on his plate so i kept my op a secret.

Thats a great idea. I will definitely do that!!! Lucky hubbie, he'll be eating for two hahaha.

I am SO nervous now. I am having my lap band tomorrow. I'm on clear fluids all day today and fasting from midnight. I have butterflys in my tummy, so nervous.

I guess next time I speak to you I will have my band in.

Good luck Mumof2. I felt the same the day before surgery, i nearly pulled out, now its been 6 months and I have lost just under 40 kilos. I have had a few problems, mainly with reflux and over restricted, but i would not change a thing, it is the best thing I have done.

Good luck, i will be thinking of you :(

      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.
