I had my op.. I am now banded



Recommended Posts

Just letting you all know I had my op on the 12th..Got out of hospital on the 13th and am up and moving about today :)

I am still a little tender and have the weirdest pain shot through.. I think it may be one of those NON burp things I read about on here..

I'm a little confused as to what I can and cant have? I know I should be having Clear Liquids right? But the hospital made me eat yohgurt? And also about how much liquids I should be having I seen 2 different dieticians and they have told me 2 different amounts?

Everything so far has been really good.. My family has been amazing and my sister comes around everyday to look after me :biggrin1:

Anyway enough from me.. Im going to go read up on a few things..

Cheers all

Congratulations on being banded. If you're allowed to eat yogurt, it sounds like you're on a FULL liquid (clear Soups, Tomato Soup, yogurt, pudding, shakes, etc.). Make an appt. to see ONE nutritionist and follow the plan she/he advises. Have a speedy recovery.

You REALLY need to have your doc tell you SPECIFICALLY what to eat, and when you can make changes tio diet. If he hasn't given you that info, then you need to insist that he does.

This is all about a plan, and he needs to provide you with one.

Cheers for the replies and advice :D

I got done at the Williamstown Hosptial ( Dr Nottle )

I re read all of my notes from the first dietition and will stick with what he said.. He works at my surgeons office so I will go with his one :eek: I was just a little confused about how much liquids I should be having the hospital told me I can drink as much as like but my notes suggest otherwise.

I cant believe how fast the recovery is..The tenderness has gone and Im feeling 98% normal again I thought it would have taken a lot longer.. Im really happy with my choice :confused:

WooHooo bring on the changes :D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
