Message for scareDcat -- I would love to have whatever information you have for patients that are on solid food. I had my surgery on 7/30 at Conway Hospital in South Carolina (near Myrtle Beach). I actually attended a seminar given by the group that did your surgery in West Columbia but I felt that it was too far to travel for all the necessary pre-op and follow-up appointments and for fillls.

If you can to converse via email, send it to komishe@sccoast.net. I would love to chat with you.

For scareDcat

I would love to have any information you have for patients that are already on solid food. I was banded on 7/30 and am eating solid foods but not sure of which ones of which quantity.

I actually attended the seminar from the group of surgeons you are going to in West Columbia and was very impressed with them, but concluded it would be too far to be going back and forth from Myrtle Beach to West Columbia for all the pre-op and follow-up and fill visits.

If you wish to communicate by email, my address is
komishe@sccoast.net.

Thanks,
Sheila

Alexandra,

What caused your band to slip, did they say???

I begin eating similiar things around day 16 also, I am still nervous that I may have did some damage. How did yours turn out? I go to get my first fill the 8th. Please let me know what your doc said?

I am learning so much here. Thank you all for the information. I really want to change my eating habits now but I find it so hard to do. I have no support in the house. I have not yet been banded. I am in the research stage. I am going thu the Veterans Hospital for their Move program. If I am approved for the surgery I will have to travel from NJ to Pittisburg Pa. This is a 4-6 hour drive 1 way. Anyway I digress. The information is very helpful.

Jack. Hi I am new here 19 days post op, I just gotta comment. Regarding that Dec 2004 oatmeal cookie. I ate one on the 9th and instantly gained 2 lbs plus 2 lbs the next day too. Here it is the 19th and I am still up those 2lbs. No more cookies for me. -

You ate a cookie 19 days after surgery??? Did it make you sick? I am afraid to deviate from the charts they gave me to follow and if I did cheat a cookie would not be at my list I hope someday I can eat pasta again even in small amounts. Right now I am so happy for broth all the sugary stuff is getting old. Popsicles, jello, yogurt and all. I just want some chicken noodle soup with the noodles LOL

Hi Brenda- I admit I have a sweet tooth- I was never a big pasta fan- Isn't it strange how differently we all get our carbohydrates. Actually I ate the cookie on the ninth day- Not only did I not get sick- I ate three more cookies the next day - grazing one of each flavor. That is why the gained weight stayed with me for so long. I now am 23 days post op and 12 lbs lost.

I also have a sweet tooth. I have been sucking on hard sugar free candies and that seems to satisfy me. My favorite thing is licorice and I don't think that will go down well so I won't have to worry. I am not a chocolate eater thank goodness so no worry there either. I am trying to get over all that now while I am still on liquids. I am down 14 pounds now and looking forward to getting under 200 it has been about 15 years since I was there.

Just wanna get in this thread for the tips Thanks

chell1957 · 02-06-2008, 10:46 AM

I find this to be great information. While not banded yet, I do have to have a colonoscopy done and I need to do a liquid diet 2 day prior to the test. Thanks!

This is the best list that I have found so far! I am to be banded on the 13th and both my husband and I were getting a bit concerned as I was not really getting the info that I wanted as to what I could have and how much. This list is such a blessing and we thank you for taking the time to post it!

vegors · 02-06-2008, 11:28 AM

I put this in the wrong thread-sorry!
