Just click on any of the weight tickers and it will send you to their web site from there design your ticker copy and paste the code to your signature that you can find in the upper left hand corner of your screen under "user CP" Good luck..

CONGRATULATIONS! and that goes to all new banders!

They sent you home that quickly? Were you expecting to stay overnight? My surgeon told me I will be staying 1 night to be monitored.

Are you on pain medication right now? Are the incisions scary looking? (i don't care about having scars but I am afraid of taking care of incisions- yikes).

Please let us know how its going!

No I wasn't expecting to stay. They said it would be an outpatient thing I was just surprised that I got out so quickly.

The only thing I've taken for pain is just liquid Motrin. My incisions well the ones I can see don't look bad. I have 5 total but 2 of them were still bleeding a little so they have pressure dressings on them. I get to take them off tomorrow and take a shower.

I got there at 6. They took me to the OR at 7 am and by 10am I was asking to go home:)

Wow...that's impressive! You must be one tough cookie! We're excited to see how the rest of your journey goes! :-)

5 incisions? Oh my, I thought it was only 4. But I am so happy (and jealous) for all of you. Speedy recovery to you all!

I knew I was staying over the night, so I had my bag packed and ready to go. I have liquid perocet, but I only took it the 1st day home. My incisions aren't bad, my son is scared a little of them (he's 3) but other than that. I'm just waiting for this gas to go away and I'll feel much better!

      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.
