Hi There,

I was banded on the 15/03/2011 and things have gone smoothly since then.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I've lost 3lb so far, although i'm not expecting to see results this soon knowing it's starting is quite exciting.

I hope to share my experience with others who have had the procedure as I have not told anyone other then my other half so it will be nice to have people to chat with about it.

Thanks

Hi Newbie,

Im also new , banded 19.3.2011 couple of days after you. Feel the same as you very excited,annoyed i cant eat fresh bread or red meat ( im sure i'll get over it).

I also havent told anyone except for my family, felt they would judge me for takeing the "easy" way out.

Have you experienced any pain in your lower abdomen? I found a couple of days ago after walking ( who would'v thought i would be exercising!) my lower abs hurt a little, aside from that nothing my first fill on monday 11th how bout u?

      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.
