Just Kidding!! I got banded on Tuesday the 25th as planned, actually earlier b/c the dr had a cancellation, but I'm feeling pretty good. My homegirl came down to take care of me for a couple days, and my friends and family (even the ones who weren't in favor of the band) have been pretty awesome.

I didn't even need the pain meds they gave me. The most annoying thing has been the gas pain but the incisions seem to be healing up nicely so I'll be happy when I'm really up and about again, and can get into a serious exercise routine.

Hope everyone else is doing well, too.

Thanks! I'm doing a little better today; a lot less gassy and i went for a 20 minute walk with my dad too. it was a little hard, but not too painful. the most annoying thing has been being a side-sleeper forced onto my back. every time i want to get up i feel like there should be someone behind me going "turrrtle, turrrtle" lol :rolleyes:

      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.
