:unsure::crying: Super happy I found you guys. I had my surgery on 9/10. I was and for the most part still am feeling great. I took one of my normal meds this morning that I always used to take before surgery. It did not like that my tummy was empty and it made me heave and throw up okay that is a lie since we don't seem to be able to throw-up at this point. As of today I am soooo hungry. Cream of Tomato Soup and some icecream just is not cutting it. i need food damn it!!!!!!

Now for my real question. Is it normal for us to have the same that we put in our front end to come out the backend if you catch my drift?

Actually, I have less coming out than going in, which might be causing the horrible gas pain. OUCH. I can hardly move without stabbing pain.

Totally normal! it gets worse before it gets better just hang in there and try to add some Fiber supplements if you can.

I will have my surgery this Tuesday the 21st and I am so excited and nervous. I also have Triwest and will pay $25 and have my fills covered and its wonderful!! I think I am most nervous about the pain afterwards and the fills kinda make me nervous but, I am so ready to get this going and feeling better about myself.

I slept on my side the 2nd night after surgery (it helped the shoulder pain a lot to put pressure on it) but everyone is different. Hope you feel like yourself soon.

Hey guys. I'm glad I found this too. I was banded 9/10/10. I have been less sore as each new day comes. Today I'm having a mental breakdown it feels like. I'm so tired of watching my son and husband eat food. I know I have done the right thing by having surgery. I am just so depressed and down. I do take depression medication. My emotions are going haywire. I have to cook for my 3 year old and its killing me! Sigh, just venting guys. :thumbup:

      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.
