Surgery May 27th!

I had that operation in Mexico in July of 05 and have only lost a few pounds. Now I choke on everything and throw up once or twice a day.

This is my first post. Just beginning looking into lap-band surgery. I'm from IN, too, but will most likely use Cincinnati facility for surgery. How long has it been since you began insurance approval? What company?

Thanks,

Hi, Global

I am five days out now and feeling great. Not one bit hungry! I am drinking about 4 oz. at a time; tea, skim milk, juice, soup, and even made chili for my family last night. I took a scoop of it and put in through a strainer to have a few spoons of the chili sauce. It was good and I was full at about 10 spoon fulls. I can sleep on my side now, so that is a plus and I truly just feel good. Norton's Hospital was real good to me and everyone I came in contact with was great. I was sleepy for the first three days and then it was all good from there. I know you must be getting really excited. Well, have a great weekend and I will talk to later this week.

Hi, Global

:thumbup:My date is May 28th and I start my pre-op diet May 21st:ohmy:. Who's doing yours? Dr Lusco with the St Marys and Elizabeth Bariatric Center is doing mine. I am so excited:lol: My 4yr old keeps asking me when I am getting the rubber band put on my belly. Good luck!!

WOW sounds like you're doing great Banded Girl! I was wondering about sleeping on my side, which is my favorite! Bet you can almost feel the pounds sliding off!

Lele I'm getting mine done at Clark Memorial. My liquid diet starts the 20th. We did go to Golden Corral today. Wanted some of those yummy yeast rolls before they are a no no! But the funny thing is as addicted to Diet pop as I was, they don't even taste good anymore. I've been off them since middle of Jan, and when I try a taste of my hubby's, it just tastes yuck. Which is a good thing!

Take care, and have a great weekend!

Hi, Everyone

Today is a starting out to be a great day. I was able to drink 5 oz of my Choc. protein shake this morning and I slept wonderfully. I am only taking one pain pill a day now and that is an hour before bedtime. I am going to go out for a few hours today and shop and have some soup at Panera Bread Co. for lunch. They have a great Onion soup, just have to tell them to hold the bread and cheese. I still have not had any nausea or pain and don't feel hungry yet, so I hope that hold on till at least the two week mark. I'll keep you posted.

Have a super day everyone...

I had my surgery on the 8th. I had it at the Wishard Memorial Hospital in indianapolis. I am now on the liquid diet and im still hungry. i am only eating 2 oz per meal 4 times a day. with protien drinks between meals. the protein is not all that great tasting. i having a hard time finishing them. does anyone know of a protien supplement that i can add to water that has no taste or a good tasting shake?

Hi, Holliday

Hope you are doing better with the diet. I am using Unjury brand protien and I love them. I had tomato soup with sour cream today for lunch and it went down great. I also tried Ramon Chicken soup without the noodles and it enjoyed it. I am 8 days out and holding 10 oz at a time. So far no nausea, I am thankful for that, I hate to be sick. Good luck and let me know how you are doing.

:thumbup: WOW 10 oz!!!!!! how many times a day do you eat?? im only at 2 oz 6 time a day. the nutritionist says if im still hungry then she will have me increase my ounces. if u dont mind me asking how much have u lost? i have lost about 7.5 lbs.

:cry_smile: holliday, you had me rollin with the smilly's. Yea, I just got done drinking an 6oz cup of skim milk/hot choc mix with no problem. It took me about 20mins to drink it and I am way full. I had about 10 oz. of tomato soup for dinner last nigt, took me about 30 mins to drink it all. I am probably taking in an average of 30 to 40 oz of liguid a day. That is three meals and water or juice in between. I have not weighed yet, won't know till I go in on the 22nd of May. I know I have lost because of my shirts getting loose, but no real info on the numbers lost. I am just happy to feel good and satisfied. Have a great day! I can't believe I am not hungry yet?! It has to be that my prayer power is working? I prayed for God to help me with the mind hunger, because I knew that would be the hardest part. The mind is a powerful beast.

Today is my 9th day and all is well. I am still not hungry, all the ports are healing great and I am able to handle all the liquids I have tried thus far. Good luck to all the May folks that have band dates coming up. My next check up in on the 22nd and I will know then what I have lost so far. Keep up the good work all you Indiana banders.:cry_smile:
