Hello Everyone, I was banded on January 24, 2011. I am a bit scared, happy, and excited. I lost 13 pounds before my surgery but none since. I believe my first fill is set for Feb. 22, 2011. I look forward to learning alot from everyone here. JuLz

Welcome!

Don't worry about not losing weight during the healing phase. Do be mindful of your liquid calories and don't over do that's all. The healing phase is just that,; you want to keep your stomach at rest so everything can heal in place. I'm glad to hear you have your first fill scheduled already. That's when you may notice a bit of a change. (don't panic if you don't feel restriction at that first fill though, they will not want to overfill you so will be more likely to under fill you...)

The best of luck to you on your journey!

      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.
