Vancouverites - thanks - getting banded this week.



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all those that I've met online, on the phone, or at the N. Van support groups. You made this a positive experience.

Off to TJ on Wednesday and banded on Thursday. I, coincidentally, will be there with three Albertans.

Back from Mexico. All went well and as expected.

Enjoying the 21 day liquid post-op diet. Actually not too bad. Miso Soup and popsicles and tea are getting my through the day. Not to bad as I am not hungry.

Incisions are healing very well. Other than a few burps of gas and some rumblings of the stomach, it is situation normal.

Hi Scott. Glad it went well. How much did you pay for Mexico? Where will you get fills done?

$7,950 plus $500 in airfare. It was all top-notch. Even got some dental work done there too.

I was planning to use Northwest Fills in Washington State. But I think I'll return for TJ for fills - certainly the first fill at least.

Scott.

Glad to hear it went well. I left before you got back from the clinic. We spent a day in San Diego, saw Old Town and the Beach, went to the tall ship festival and flew home. When are you planning on a fill?

      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.
