hi there majj

so its 3am and im now one of the banded! I didnt have to check in til 12pm.. i was due to get operated on around 200pmish, but it got pushed back so i didnt get in there till around 4pm and came out of theater and recovery around 630/7pm.

The staff were so nice and ive got about 5 or so incisions...Cam out of the surgery with a very sore throat and a fair ammount of pain the shoulder, but nothing too unbareable. I cant remember much once i came out of theater but apparently the nurse told me later that i was worried that i was running late lol. im just real glad that its been done :sad: And im bit thirsty or hungry, actually the idea of food right now is the last thing on me mind. lol

umm so yeah, my chest is hurting right now. I first got up around 1230am and that was a bit painful, feel like i was doing everything i slow mo lol

so im about to nod off, and hope alls well with you.

xxoo

      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.
