Just Banded this Week



Recommended Posts

I was just banded on 8/4/2009... I am feeling sore and have some serious gas but happy that I am banded. I am not hungry at all and I hope to stay this way. I was banded by Dr. Antonetti. Did anyone else get banded this month already? How are you all feeling?

Hi gabrielle I got banded on the third, and yes I am a little bit sore! I rather stand than sit, and I have to lay in one certain position so it doesn't hurt...but the pain is not tooo bad. My gas is getting better, I've been taking Gas-x and Tums....I have to buy pepcid which I heard is good also. I have not been hungry at alllll...I force myself to drink the shakes and a little Jello. I mix my Protein powder with 4 oz of skim milk and it takes me about half an hour or so to drink it.

Well keep in touch, since we have close band dates we can compare how we feel!!:sneaky:

      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.
