I'm so excited that your banding went well -- I was thinking about you this a.m.! I'm getting my hiatal hernia repaired while I am under as well (next Tuesday, 02/22). I've heard that there is a little discomfort with that, but I'm hoping that it will be manageable -- you'll have to let me know.

Happy banding day, and I can't wait for us all to look back a year from now and see how far we've come! :) Rest, heal up, and let us know how you are when you get a chance. (((HUGS))) :D

Glad your surgery went well and hope that the loritab keeps the pain at bay. Get plent of rest the next couple of days if you are like I was you won't be hungry for a while but keep hydrated sip, sip, sip. Good luck.

      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.
