Banded May 4th!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey Banditos~

I had my surgery yesterday and also a hernia repair, I'm having a little discomfort today but that is to be expected. I'm having to drink something every hour which is hard to do and suppose to get in around 60 grams of Protein but I have a hard time with Protein Drinks, I'm going to have some strained Soup with added protein later. I haven't been hungry and so far head hunger hasn't set in.

Congratulations!! Aren't you glad that part is over. I'm 2 wks out tomorrow and it gets better every day. It's really hard for me to drink so much too. I do the best that I can. Keep a bottle of Protein Drink next to me all day. People on this website have said over and over that Protein is the key to a good recovery, so I'm trying really hard!

Congratulations, Deb! Have you tried unjury chicken Soup? It is 90 calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs, and 21 g. Protein. It is actually not made with chicken, btw, in case you are vegetarian, but it tastes good! It has helped me get Protein in when I can't do another shake. You can get it on their website, Unjury.com.

Good luck!

Hey Nay- Glad to hear you are doing great. I think so far all the may 4th banditios had hernia repair. Pretty crazy. Nice that they can fix it while in there! Also Unjury's unflavored is awesome!!!!! You can put it in anything without changing the flavor and you seriously cannot even tell it's there. I've put mine in pudding, chocolate milk, chicken broth mashed potatoes and more. That's what's so awesome about it. You can't put the chicken Soup in pudding or the chocolate in your chicken broth but the unflavored can go into ANYTHING! Again AWESOME STUFF!!

I have some but haven't tried it yet I ordered the trial packs. I've drank some Atkins advantage and had some cheddar/broccoli soup(strained) and I've been sipping non protein fluids. I really don't want anything but I try to get alittle down. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to hold more. Wow I never thought I'd say that!LOL

For some reason this totally made me laugh. :thumbup:

Glad to hear you're feeling okay, Naynay. I'm also having a hernia repair, so it's especially nice to hear from you guys who had both at the same time. Everyone seems to be having a fairly easy time, which is fabulous!

Thanks for the report on the Unjury. I will order the unflavored before my surgery. I ordered some of the other flavors and they were great. I think the unflavored will be great to add to other foods to up the protein.I also ordered some lean dessert (protein supplement) from vitacost. I ordered the fresh cinnamon roll and vanilla. It is delic. I would drink it even if I didn't need the Protein.< /p>

      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.
