Hi Everyone! I am going to be banded on Monday, January 17th at Marina del Rey Hospital in California. I am nervous but excited! 2011 is going to be the start of a great year!

Congrats! How are you doing so far?

I'm doing okay, still recovering, thanks for asking. Took the bandages off to reveal the staples today (yuck) and trying to take it slow with the liquids but learning that what seems like a little bit is still too much. Looking forward to being a few more days down the road to hopefully be pain free! And looking forward to having a few more January buddies :)

Had my band put in Monday and feel really good. Minimal pain, mostly from burping.

Went to work a couple hours today and feel very good. I guess I was blessed with out some of the complaints others had.

      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.
