Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.. i was banded about a week and a half ago... just checking in to see how others banded that same week are doing... hope everyone is well and feeling that their surgery was a success!

i am doing so well, and i cannot wait to move onto the next food phase. Soups are starting to get a little boring, but i am trucking on!

i am feeling great and so happy with my decision! i cant believe that i actually enjoy stepping on the scale in the am! lol

Hey Staree!

I was banded on March 24 and am feeling a whole lot better this week :smile2: The first week or so was a little ouchy ouchy - but now I'm all ready to go :smile: I have been lucky enough to be able to take a few weeks off work and it's just allowed me to not stress about rushing back to work or worrying about anything other than just taking care of me.

I'm looking forward to moving onto to mushie food :wub: Only a few more days to go!

Have a great day!

C

Hi Congratulations! I was banded March 26th and am feeling great had no real pain or soreness except for where the port is. Was sore for about 2 days but pain free by Sunday the 28th. Went back to work the 29th. Today I cheated and ate some watery instant mashed potatos. No repercussions! I hope you are doing great.

      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.
