Just came home from dolan park was banded yesterday feeling good drinking plenty had a large band filled with 5ml just wondering haven't felt hungry yet is that normal

Congratulations! I was banded there on 31st so I'm only 2 days ahead of you. I couldn't face much either, just drank plenty of hot milk and a few sips of soup really.

About 10mins ago I realised that I was hungry for the first time so have just had a bowl of chicken soup which has hit the spot.

Hope your recovery goes well, will look forward to reading your posts xxx

Thanks for that how did you find the staff

 

[Chunky chick]

I thought that they were nice, especially the theatre team. Only one person I found to be really hard work to get a smile from, was really miserable.

Was that a male member off staff

yes it's completely normal and is likely to be for the first couple of weeks maybe a little more, maybe less. You will have swelling from surgery but you already have 5mls in your band. Take it slowly with your liquids and make sure you stay hydrated even if you don't have anything food liquid wise -

Yes, it was the HCA who did all the BP's and stuff. I felt a bit like he was looking down his nose at me.

 

[Nkpjkb56]

I was exactly the same with him did not like him at all

Have you had any yogurt yet I looked today but could not find any smooth ones

 

[Chunky chick]

I have the activia yogurts. They have large bits of fruit in but I just dip my spoon in and out so don't get any of the bits. Also I have yoghurt drinks, asdas own brand are nice.

How are you feeling today?

Drinking yoghurts are ideal at this time, muller vitality or actimel are good (they can also be a good thing to have to keep the constipation at bay) they are smooth and the right consistency for so soon post op. Liquids should be the consistency to pass up a straw (although not using a straw as it adds to wind issues) so these type of yoghurts are great, or if you have ones with bits in, blend with a bit of milk to make them thinner

i agree the actimels are great post op really low cals too! You could try some soup too x x

 

[Nkpjkb56]

I am feeling pretty good how about you have any one got in touch with you about going to the clinic

Congrats on your surgery I was banded at The Dolan 3rd October and still doing quite well, due for first fill on the 12th Nov..I too though the male assistant in the Op room was tad daunting
I hope you continue to do well

Hi Minn
I notice you had your surgey on 3 October but have lost 36 lbs which is brilliant. Have you done this through will power alone?
My surgery is on 18th November and I can't think of anything else at the moment!
