MAY 2009 Bandsters - shout out!!!



Recommended Posts

Home from being banded yesterday. So far so good. Not much pain, a little when standing or sitting. A little gas in my chest too but overall not bad at all. Much less than I expected. I lost 10.5 pounds on my pre-op diet. Have no idea what I weigh today, not really interested in finding out right now. :crying:

Not really hungry at all, but I know I need to get the Protein in me. I'll sip on my Boost Realize Protein clear liquid drink the rest of the night I guess.

I was banded by Dr. Kasemsap at Wuesthoff in Melbourne. Great doc, really personable and easy to talk with. And his primary nurse, Mara, is a sweetie. The nurses at Wuesthoff were also amazing, everyone I've met on this journey has been great.

Hello All,

I was banded on May 22. It went well! I had a great experience at St. Marks Hosp. in SLC Dr. McKinley. My recovery is going good too. Gas pain was just that a pain but 99.9% gone now. Currently just a little pain at the port site. Sometimes I've experienced some mourning as far a food goes but whatever I'd rather be HEALTHY and FIT!!! :crying:

      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.
