Hi had my band op done on Wednesday, all went well and discharged home the same day. Post op I've had no nausea of vomiting but also no appetite for the diet plan I'm supposed to follow which is liquid diet for 1 wk - soups/shakes. Is this normal?? I had 1 shake yesterday with lots of tea/water and bit of juice. Today I've had half bowl of soup with juice/tea/water. Am tolerating it well but just not hungry. Have appointment on guesday with the nurse to have all my clips removed.
Yes it was about 5 days before i even thought of food but i knew my body needed something so I used to sip a glass of milk with an actimel yoghurt added to it to make sure I was getting some goodness x
Yes I couldt eat for 3 days I had mine done a week today, daily at the momnent im still only haiving a yogurt, jelly and soup for tea. I cant take alot of fluid either but im scraving food now It will be because your tummy is swollen and you are still getting used to the band xx
The clips are like staples! Weren't expecting them, expected wounds to be closed with glue or stitches. Have 4 small wounds and 1 large one with bout 8-10 clips which I guess is where the port is.
Curious about what diet plans people followed post op. Mind is liquid -soups/shakes/fruit juice. Can't bear the slim fast shakes, so gonna try some fruit shakes Tom but they r less protein. I fancied something a little more substantial (!) and something to chew so just had A hash brown! Really not on the diet plan but it was nice!! Will see how this sits!!
I am having low fat custard angel delight sugar free jelly yogurt I haven't had shakes as I had the pre op and I can't look at them now however I have had low fat milkshakes!! I can't est to Friday and I'm starving when did u have yours done x
Lol that's how I feel now about the shakes!! Had the op on wed 25th! I'm not hungry, am making myself have the soups and what shakes I can face! Am conscious that I'm not having enough protein as that's what they drummed into us at the 1st appointment, should have 60g, each shake is around 15g, I managed 1 and 1/2 today 😏 when was urs??
Mine was on the 20th, I am eating quite a lot well I think I am today I have had half a tin of soup 2 weight watcher got chocolates water, a small tin of tomatio soup and a small yogurt.
I done the diary diet for 2 weeks before the op so I'm on my 4th week it's Killing me. I have given up on the shakes at the moment
I think I'm dying!! Lol neeeeed food!! Really struggling n it's made me quite depressed to be honest. I did have a spoonful of sweet potato mash n gravy last night n feel much better today but mainly soups shakes and yogurt 😞 can't wait to get back to normal and eat proper food!!!
