Hello Alll ! :D

My name is Melissa , I ive on Orange County NY,i just had my band put in on 3-23-2011 ! I am on day 11 of my journey !!

So far so good !! I am on Just 3 protien shakes untill 4/15 . I cant wait for the "mushies" to start. I look forward to tips and advice when i get there.

My surgeon has very strict rules so im a little jealous of the posts i see of others thatare where i am and get to eat broth, but i will stick to my rules ! I am back to work and feel pretty good.

The first days i had a little pain getting up and down, but now i dont really feel to much pulling. sleeping is ok too, I am now sleeping on my side.

I was filled with 6cc when I was banded so I wont really know to much about my food untill i go to the next phase of my journey !

Its nice to meet you all !!

if anybody has any questions feel free to email me !

:D:rolleyes::)

Hi Melissa,

I am new here too but wanted to welcome you to the Lap Band forum. I was banded in Poughkeepsie, Ny on 3/29/11. I am on the clear liquid stage too. Wow, that's interesting that you were filled with 6ccs on the date of surgery. I dont think i could have gotten down Water if I was filled at all because my site was and is still so swollen.

I look forward to seeing your progress here!

      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.
