Banded 8/20/08



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the August All Star Team! =)

I was banded last Wednesday (1 week ago today!) I have started to get a bit hungry and irritable just on fluids and soft liquids, but hanging in there!

Good luck to all and let's do this together!

OH...and how do you all get that cute ticker thing on your post? I made one, but can't figure out how to paste it!

Going for my first pre op appointment today... wish me luck..

So being a week out now Kimberly... how you feeling? Hope your doing well.

I am doing great. Actually surprised how fast things seemed to feel better.

I did not have to be on liquid diet after the surgery... went straight to mushy.. even was not released from the hospital until they knew i could tolerate it.

The 64oz of fluids a day is a reall pain... sometimes feel like I am drowning... but I get it done... And it is also sometimes hard to get the Protein in... I was told 45-60 grams a day.

Wish you all the best-

Jo Ann:smile2:

Welcome to LBT! Glad everything went well for you.

Josie you are so lucky to be able to get to go straight to mushy foods. I am on liquids for a few weeks.

      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.
