May banders!

[LawBoy84 5]

Hello all,

I am happy i found this forum. I am 14 days into my liquid pre diet. I was supposed to go tomorrow but got pushed back to Wednesday the 15th.

My surgeon is George Fielding at NYU

I had no idea that gas is so bad after, I will make sure i will pick up some Gas X before I go in so I have it when i get home.

Good luck to everybody that was just banded and to all that are going in the next couple days. I know i will be back here on a daily basis calming my nerves!

Good luck on the 15th!! I had my surgery last Monday and I feel pretty close to human today. Take your time during recovery and everything will be great.

Is anybody else not able to eat after surgery? I'm on day 3 and jut the thought of anything but Water makes me ill. The night after surgery I had a tiny bit of broth. And yesterday I forced down one shake. Today all I've ha so far is water. I know I need some Protein but I'm just totally not hungry at all.

I was like that. Was banded on a Monday. Didnt have the appetite to consume a Protein Shake til that Friday. Didn't wanna see anything. Could hardly drink water. I just wanted to sleep. Now I'm 9 days post op, on puree foods & starving lol

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was the same way towards the end of the pre op diet. I was having to force down my shakes.< /p>

I totally agree! It was a combination of not feeling hungry and not wanting to eat another Protein Shake the rest of my life! Believe me, though, after a week your appetite will come back with a vengeance.

Well that's kinda scary. I don't want my appetite to come back with a vengeance. Isn't that supposed to be one of the advantages? Having my surgery on the 24th.

[blondechcky 57]

I keep hearing kt will come back. That also scares me because I'm already a little paranoid about eating with this band. I worry about eating the wrong things and getting stuck.
