Banded Aug 25



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 4 and feeling great. On the 25th, I was still full of anesthesia and sleep most of the day. Day 2, I was still groggy took some pain meds and felt exhausted. I was thinking to myself- am I crazy, why did I do this? Day 3- I drove myself to Houston (1 1/2 hour drive each way) to my follow up appt. I went to my ortho appt too. Took my son to the doctor then to buy school supplies. Was completely exhausted when I got home and took a shower for the first time. Day 4- today, I feel almost normal. going to run errands today. NOT hungry at all and I still have energy. I am excited because tomorrow I go off Clear Liquids and an have liquids that can go thru a strainer. I've already lost 15 lbs from the pre-op liquid diet. Feeling good that life can only get better from here.

      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.
