:thumbup:got banded thursday and got home yesterday (friday) The worst pain I have had was a -6- on a scale of zero to ten. I think it was gas pain. I do seem to stiffen up by morning. Hubby helps me out of bed. I am careful not to bend over or pick anything up. No nausea. I was given 2 heparin shots, pre-op antibiotics, post op antibiotics, pain meds, nausea meds and I bought gas X. I have not "felt" hungry and have been getting 100 grams Protein and at least 64 oz. fluids each day. I was prepared for the worst and things went good. Getting up and moving around helps. good luck to you all:)

      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.
