Banded Yesterday!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, First off all let me thank all the fellow bandsters that wished me well:smile2:

Well all went well better than expected as before I arrived at the Hospital I was a touch nervous. The nurses and surgeons did an excellent job and after meeting with them my mind was at ease. The whole thing was done very proffesionally. The pain now is minimal, they also repaired a abdominal hernia at the same time. sleeping last night was not a problem. So all in all it was something that would be highly recommended :thumbdown:

My weight before at initial visit was 281lbs.

Before pre-op diet (shakes) 279lbs.

After pre-op diet 261lbs.

Day of surgery 261lbs.

Can someone help me on how I do a ticker!! Have tried but cant seem to work it out.:blink:

      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.
