Being Banded on Friday



Recommended Posts

I'm being banded on Friday, 12/27 and I start my clear liquid diet at midnight tonight. I have got my Jello, broth and popsicles ready. Has anyone been told during their clear liquid diet that they can't have flavored jello? I bought raspberry, strawberry banana and peach. Hoping I can eat it. Happy Holidays!

I'm waiting on insurance approval but have tentative surgery date of 1/20/14. I'm a registered nurse and a planner so I've researched the diet requirements a lot. Although I've found that each surgeon recommends similar diets, they all vary a bit. But I'm comfortable to say that my surgeon says yes to flavored Jello as long as it is sugar free. Hope this helps! So excited for your journey and hoping for approval from my insurance soon!

Thanks! I did buy the sugar free so I'm going to eat it. Good luck with your insurance approval.

I know for me flavored jellos were fine, as long as they were sugar free. Don't hesitate to call your surgeon's office, if you have any questions about your diet, though!

Good luck to you!

Hi KSteele!

I'm being banded tomorrow also! Friday 12/27

I had to start my liquid diet 2 weeks ago though. Lucky you. The good news is I've lost 15 pounds. I'm really nervous about tomorrow, are you?

Well, I'm off to bed. See you on the other side!

Thank you for asking Slinkielovin. Friday was pretty rough. The nurse told my husband that the anesthesiologist got a little heavy handed. She had several of us coming out of surgery feeling nauseous and having trouble getting awake. I felt rough Friday but a little better yesterday and better yet today. I am surprisingly hungry! Muscles are sore and my insides feel like they've been rearranged but that is getting better. My stomach is growling and rumbling and I get the occasional hiccup which is unpleasant, but over all, I'm on the mend!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
