I'm Back !!!



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Well I am back from having my banding done and I have got to say that it was not as bad as I thought. I feel a sore at the moment but that is to be expected. Everything went well and my surgeon did a hernia repair as well.

So now it is down to the serious business.

Tas I hope all went well for you as well.

Welcome back Sunshine! So glad everything went well for you - very inspiring. I'm on day 4 of Opti and I tell you, being fat is looking very appealing compared to this. Thank you for keeping my eye on the prize on this really hard day for me (its Friday and I want to binge and drink). Not hungry at all just bored with opti and grieving the social aspects of food. Cant wait to be you! 10 days to go! And f#$%^&ing counting!

Hi, I was banded last Tuesday. Had a lots of gas pain for two days. Still a bit sore but feeling better every day. Sipping is my new full time job. 100mls every half hour. This is the beginning of the next part of my life. The part where I'm not fat!!!

      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.
