Hi there! I was also banded on Friday, Feb. 19 in Raleigh, NC. And I too am feeling great. My surgery was at 9:20am and I was home by 1:00pm the same day. Have felt a little like I have been kicked in the gut but nothing that I can't tolerate. The strangest thing for me is to hear my stomach growling all of the time. broth and Water don't seem to be satisfying me!

I would love to know what you are eating. The more I read the more I see just how different everyone's diet is. Hope you continue to feel great.

Well, I did my first official weigh-in at home this morning. Since surgery on Feb. 19 I have lost 14.5 lbs. I am thrilled with that! I am feeling great and not really feeling hungry at all.

My food choices last week were not great and at times I was frustrated with broth, broth, and more broth. But I was allowed to introduce creamed Soups, yogurt, and milk this week so I feel like a new woman! Have my first followup appointment at the doctor on Friday. Maybe I can reach the 20 lb. mark by then.

Goal is to reach 75 g. of Protein daily. So I'm still using Protein powder mixed with skim milk 3 x day. Adding in very thin Tomato Soup, yogurt, applesauce, babyfood (2 oz) at a time, popsicles and today cream of wheat. The amounts are always less than 2 oz. Atleast I'm getting some different flavors.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
