They took the liquid out of my band - help!
Phx_Jazz replied to Phx_Jazz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unfortunately I'm gaining weight. I'm one of those people who really needs the band. I've gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm hoping my hunger will settle down soon. -

Phx_Jazz posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first time in two years I have no liquid in my band. Since the beginning I was having difficulty eating ‘real’ food. All I could eat was soft (or slider) foods. And then, in the last 30 days or so, I was having heartburn. So, they took all the liquid out of my band for three months and I’m freaking out that I will gain the 30 lbs. back that I have lost. I need all the support I can get. Can you help me please? Thanks, Jazz -

Port-- is this normal?
Phx_Jazz replied to Scoobie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My hubby and I had surgery one day apart back in 2008 and I remember him saying the same thing about his port tingling. It went away about 10 days post surgery. It wouldn't hurt to call the Dr. though - just in case. The pain started to go away about 10 days post-op as well. Hang in there. -

Thank you friends. I needed to hear words of encouragement. I'm doing OK so far. -
This is really hard to do but I would say you would still lose weight if you really don't swallow.

I don't understand the differences by each of the doctors either but I followed my dr.'s orders to the T. -
Both had it done-One of us regreting it!

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Tell her to hang in there - it definately gets better. Give it two weeks and she will be felling much better. Gas will be gone and she'll be good to go. -
I recommend premier nutrition Protein from Costco. It only comes in chocolate but it tastes great. 30 grams of protein, 160 calories:rolleyes:

Of course doing what your dr said to do is the best advice but I wouldn't worry that you hurt anything. My dr had me and my husband (both banded a day apart) on a liquid diet for just 3 days. Mushies for another 3 days, then solid food.:smile: -
My husband and I are being banded on Dec 4-5 and our post op diet is only 3 days of liquids then real food. We don't even need to go on mushies although we will for a few days.

Thank you Bridgette. I'll do that.
-
Thank you everyone for your words of wisdom. I will discuss this matter with my doc at pre-op appointment.:smile2:
-
My doctor told me to continue my medications but he didn't say how. I take capsules and a couple large pills. Do I open the capsules and break the large pills? Any advice? I get banded in Dec.

In addition to all of the above I had to have a mammogram.:eek:

Good Luck to y'all. I'm sure your surgeries will be successful. My surgery is 12/4 and I fell the same way y'all do. Keep me informed.
