Hey Andrea! I'm Amanda and I'm from Raleigh also. I was banded by Dr. Bovard on April 7th. I'm still sore also. I think it's going to be a while before we feel 100% better. :confused: Who was your doctor?

Hi Andrea and Amanda! I'm from Durham and was banded by Dr Overby on 1/27/10 at UNC Hospital. Congrats on your recent surgery and I hope you're feeling well. It takes some adjusting but being only 3 mos out, I know it was the very best decision I have made for myself in years!!!!! Good luck and welcome! Loryn

Hi I was banded on July 14 2009. You are in for the ride of your life. Enjoy reaching each and every goal. Please by all means set them even if you have to adjust them along the way. The soreness will go away.

      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.
