February 2014 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi tdiezme, I had quite a few stomach aches when I was on the liquid and veggie 14 day pre-op. I put it down to so much change going on in the stomach...."what is this new diet?Get real!!!"

Hope it settles down...but let your doc know anyway, I would think. S/he would have better advice!

Hello, i'm new to this site and my surgery is on 2/18. I started my pre op diet on Monday and hope to lose some weight before the surgery as well as shrinking that liver. Good luck everyone!

I got banded today!!! Also a hiatal hernia repaired at same time.

Surgery went great, no complaints. It was at 9am, and we were leaving the hospital at 1pm.

I weighed 235.2 this morning at the hospital. I weighed 254ish before my 10-day....

Banded yesterday with a hiatal hernia repair. Got home from the hospital today at 4 pm. I'm in pain but the liquid lortab seems to be working. My throat is a little sore from the breathing tube and I just seem to be freezing.

I have to take teeny sips...or I burp. It's a learning thing for me. It took me 2 hrs to drink 8oz Protein Shake with 1 full scoop of Protein and one cube of ice.

My official surgery date is this Friday, Feb 21. I have been on the pre-op diet since the 11th. I am down about 10 pounds so far. I got sick with what I thought was the flu last week. Turns out I had something viral that turned into bronchitis. I have been on a ZPak and an inhaler since Friday. I am coughing and sometimes have coughing fits. I don't know if I should reschedule my surgery or not. The nurse seems to think it is fine but I am a little worried.

After my surgery, last Thursday, the nurses told me that wanted me to have a big cough every four hours to prevent pneumonia....so, you could say your coughing will be good after surgery or if your lungs are weak you may be more susceptible to pneumonia??? Well crap, I thought me sharing what they told me would help, but not so much...wish I could offer better advice for you!

That's my biggest worry is that my lungs are so full of junk and it's hard for me to get a deep breath as it is now that after the surgery I am thinking I would be more likely to get pneumonia. I have no idea what to do.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
