BANDED 12/2/08 too much food?



Recommended Posts

As long as you are drinking in small amount over the course of the day you should be fine. And the first week you will feel hungry if you are on Thin Clear liquids like I was.

I remember sitting at work and having my stomach growl so loud. Your not really putting that much in there for it to work with, but that's the point.

I got a huge packet of eating instructions from my surgeon's office -- what did your doctor give you? I personally would not have been able to drink the Tomato Soup (watered down or not) for the first week. For me it was basically juice, Water, broth and SF popsicles.

Tomato Soup! You are lucky. I was banded on 12/1/08 and Like trayrenee I was told the only things I can have are Clear Liquids and Jello. I would kill right now for some Tomato Soup. LOL. I think you'll be alright if you just make sure it's slowly taken in. I drank some diet Tang this morning to fast and it felt like some clubbed me in the stomach for about 30 seconds.

Best of luck to you.

I was banded on 12/2 and have been battleling the hiccups? anyone else have this problem? I'm on full liquids but don't really have a desire for Soup yet. I'm a little nervous to eat lol or rather drink anything thick. I had a protien shake today and I felt a little sick after

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
