Hello all, I was banded on yesterday and it was awesome.:) I went to surgery at 10:50am and was discharged at 4:15. Dr. Enoch did the SIL (single lapband incision) everything went so smooth. We stopped to wal-greens to get my liquid loratab...when I got home I walked around my house for a little exercise. Just sore and a little gassy, I take my pain meds every 4 hours like clock work it really helps. I am not hungry that is so amazing to me.:) Doc put a 10cc band in not sure how much Fluid but I know he put a little to keep the port line straight. Well don't let me bore yall, going for a ride in a little bit. First day of spring and it is beautiful here in NC.

I was banded yesterday and I must admit I had NO pain or discomfort!! I was amazed! I expected to be whining or at least moaning. Nothing. Now today, it seems like my Water is getting stuck. Stomach is making LOUD noises.

As someone who was banded on 2/23, let me first say congrats! Next, be sure not to overdo it. You are in the first stages of healing, your stomach is swollen, so things will feel a little tight going down and once the gas starts moving around and the gas pains start, you might not be feeling so well as you are now. Heating pads and Gas-X helps with those pains. be sure to get in your fluids to prevent dehydration and try and get some calories in via Protien shakes and Soup.

remember it take time to heal so just watch yourself! :laugh:

Thank you very much for the sound advice. I can definately feel the gas starting to work its way around. I did not do as well with my Water consumption yesterday, but I'm on it today. I'm trying to stay off the pain medicine today.

      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.
