Good luck with everything. You're going to do great. Just keep your chin up, positive thoughts and follow your doctor's instructions. Also make sure you get up and walk because it does help with the gas.

You're going to be fine! After the surgery, walk around as much as you can. Follow your doctor's orders to the letter and follow the post op meal plan carefully. Concentrate more on healing in the first few weeks and don't worry so much about weight loss. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Hey there! I see we both got banded today(or yesterday, technically). Thanks for adding me as your friend! When you're feeling up to it, let me know how you're doing!

I've been having a pretty good amount of pain, mostly just from the gas and around my port I think. I have medication for it though, so it's manageable and getting up and walking really helps. I'm also having a little trouble sleeping, but that's nothing new for me! Lol. I fell asleep at around 7:30 PM and woke up around 11:30 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few more Z's.

Like I said, let me know how you're doing when you feel up to it! I hope everything is going well for you! :]

Well so far so good. I burp, omg do I burp lol and it (my chest) hurts like a booger until I burp lol. I went to the movies yesterday and I think all the sitting on that chair hurt my port site it's been a bit tender but I'm ok. I try to drink a lot of Water and walking helps. When I get hungry I drank my shake and sugar-free popsicles. NOW when I get hungry I'll drink juice. I'm ready to eat tho lol I want my mushies!

      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.
