Hey from Alabama.....Roll Tide!!



Recommended Posts

Ya'll knew I just had to say Roll Tide now, don't ya? Ha! I was banded last week on the 23rd. I'm still very nervous and very sore. I had a hernia repair along with the band, so I had a bit more done. The surgery went great!, better then the hernia surgery I had in '06. I'm not sure what to expect with discomfort and as far as feeling the band, I havent yet. I just want to lose this weight and get back to living. I have 3 wonderful kids, 2 in college and 1 in high school, A wonderful husband that I adore and a pasture full of horses that I havent been able to ride and hope by spring, I will be able to hit the trails!!

I hope every has a wonderful day and God Bless!:cool2:

      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.
