Hello, I just had my surgery on the 16th and doing really good. This is a good site to get support. How are you since your surgery?

Oh wow! Good to know someone's still out there on this forum.

I was banded last Thursday (11/18). Its been an interesting week to say the least. I'm just now really feeling a little more like "myself." I only stayed on Clear liquids for the first 3-4 days, but I had no energy so my mom "graduated" me to Tomato Soup (even though I could only get a few swallows at a time).

My challenge now is finding creative ways to eat liquid foods. My blender and I are best friends, but some things don't liquify very easily. I also could use some suggestions for foods to eat during my first week back at work. I may/may not have access to a microwave, depending on my schedule, so I need more ideas for sipping on the go.

Any suggestions?

Its looks like some of the more recent posts didn't get moved over after the LBT changes to the site. I posted here a week or so ago. I hope it gets going again.

Hi guys, I am here browsing the site. I am looking for any input, I have surgery in less 10 days and I feel so lost. I have no idea what I should be doing but I am feeling pretty lost and a little scared of the unknown.

Well, I guess the most important thing to do is follow your doctor's orders. It's not as bad as it seems though. The worst part for me was the gas after surgery! I hate GAS! LOL! They have to fill your belly up with gas in order to go in there with the camaras and everything to see good I guess. Well, I think a lot of it was still in me after surgery because I was gassy for 2 weeks.

Thanks for the input...

Well, how did your surgery go? I hope it went well for you! I'm sorry all I could think about was how bad the gas was? To be honest that is all I could remember!

I would like to add one most important thing...The Lap-Band is not a magic pill. You still have to work to lose weight. You have to watch what you eat, and you have to exercise. Take Care

      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.
