Banded June 17 2010 Yesterday was a little painful getting all the gas out. Woke up this morning feeling great lots of energy and looks like the swelling is starting to go down. Had a half bowl of cream of wheat and feel full. Suprised at the amount of energy I have. I actually want to get outside and do stuff. :thumbup:

Hi All,

Surgery was Wed. 6/16 and is behind me now!!!

I'M BACK.:thumbup: I'm feeling much better:thumbup:!! I was in a fog the next 2 days. Dr. had to do a "substantial" Hyatil Hernia repair:ohmy: and band. I was on the table for more than 3 hrs :lol: Hubby was anxious :smilielol5:. Wed. was a complete blurrr:confused_smile:.

Thu. was long and very hectic:willy_nilly: but, I still wanted to go home, so I Jumped thru all the hoops & was discharged about 5:45pm and home @ 8:30 pm.

Fri. I hydrated, slept alot & got my Protein in.

Sat. I acually feel human today, just tired. I was up early and watched the Sun rise on my new Life. It was a beautiful warm summer day. I walked in my yard, out to my garden.

Thanks for everyone's support!!

Hi Barbee, :Banane20:

I go to the 60's group on occasion, they are not as active as the Pre-op & post-op forum but, we can ask questions for our age group. I bought some different brands and flavors of prepared shakes & powders to see what I'd like and to be prepared. You will want a week or two supplies on hand. Good luck!!!:thumbup:

Cream of wheat already??? Is that allowed? I love Cream of Wheat. I've been on Phase 1 of South Beach for 2 months and I'm so sick of eggs...

Oh Melissa!!! I know exactly what u mean, I had to shut that down months ago. I only look at positive videos....not that I'm putting my head in the sand regarding any negative aspects but i'd rather soak in the positive.

best of luck to u!!

      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.
