Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

September 27th here! I am so excited and so terrified at the same time! I have done very well on liquid pre-op diet, lost 11 pounds so far. That is exciting to me! Hope all the other September bandsters are doing well!

That's great that your doing well, i am 8 days now and was 99% healed and walking after 5days, I have been gym last two days and doing as good as I was a week before the op-- but no weight lifting just cardio vascular stuff.

Carry on with the healing mummymegan

All the best :-)

Unfortunately, I had gas pains for 16 days. Being on this app i've learned that everyones body truly reacts differently. I have a low tolerance for pain. Keep taking your anti gas meds and walk as much as possible. I found Hot Drinks and rubbing moved my gas. For me the worst of it all was my gas pains.

I had my surgery Tuesday and came home yesterday. I am sore by the biggest incision and I know when i'm gonna burp quite a bit because my shoulder will hurt. I've been sipping and walking. I'm nervous to last on my side.

At the hospital I am so happy that I brought chapstick!

I can't believe you guys didn't get to stay in the hospital overnight. I wish I could have stayed two nights better drugs and pampering.

      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?

      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.
