Allow Me To Introduce Myself...



Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow Bandsters.. My name is Marcos, all my friends call me Beezy, and my internet name is thedvsgneeus. I am a rookie bandster, as my surgery was this past Monday 9/28/2009. It was a long wait to get my band as my original date was back in May, however because of a new job, i had to postpone the surgery three months. The first week has been pretty rough, i am still experiencing gas pains but less each day and the worst each night.. I am following my liquid diet and can not wait for the next step. My Post-Op Appt is this Monday 10/5/2009. I am also looking forward to see if i have lost any weight. Everyone is telling me i am looking about 5-10lbs thinner.. Hopefully they are right..

See you around!!

      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.
