I was banded 6/2/11 too... My incision pain is minimal now, but i have the horrible gas pain still. Usually, after I drink the liquids. I have lost 8.4 lbs in 4 days! I am getting scared that is not healthy! Yikes.

Congrats to all of you for officially becoming bandsters!!

I promise you, the pain will subside and you will be back to your normal selves before

you know it.

Gas and hydrating problems are common... I had my fair share of those. Especially gas!

I would wake up every morning with a mouth so dry... you could consider it a new desert!

But I am over a month post op now, hitting the gym and enjoying life.

YOu'll be there... For me, I didn't know expect this surgery to take such a toll on my body

(hint the word "outpatient"). I thought it was going to be easy cheesy, but boyyyyy...

That was proven wrong right after I woke up from surgery.

Anywho, enough rambling... keep sipping on Water, broth, Jello... Your lives are beginning again!

Yay for banding!!!

      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.
