Newbie Day 8 of post-op lapband.



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Im allie, (new at this sorry) im in my 8th day after surgery,

im still in a bit of pain in my lower abdomen. I also have a sharp pain right next to my belly button but i went to visit my doctor today and told him about it and he said i had a belly button hernia that he took out during surgery... anyone else have this?

The pain from it hurt soo bad it hurts to walk around sometimes. He said it would go away in time, but ahhh it hurts!! :ohmy:

Before surgery I weighed 397 now down to 379!:laugh:

woohoo! 18lbs gone. All of my family and friends say they see a difference and it makes all the hurting worth it!! Im off the liquid diet today (thank jeebus). on the pureed and liquids i wasnt getting full at all. also i need lots of ideas for lapband meals!!!!! im not creative in the food department and have no idea what types of stuff i can have and stuff thats the no go food. hahaha if anyone can help id VERY much appriciate it. THANKS GUYS!

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

I had a hiatal hernia repair and it took me a lot longer to recover than some of my friends who didn't. But it does get easier!

      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.
