*makes a face* It's awful. I cried for days. Bled too. We had to buy a new bed from all the nasty drainage. I've been banded for a month now and still can't sit up-- ow! Ok, I'm lying and have just been slapped by all my fellow bandsters here. *evil grin*

Seriously, youre going to be sore but people differ so much. Some go out shopping the next day while others take a couple of weeks to get back to normal. It's really not that bad at all.

*smiles* Sorry if I scared you. I'm just in a "mood" today. Watch out LBT you've been warned! *laughs*

When I woke up from surgery the pain was pretty bad but they kept pumping me with drugs aaaaaaaah.... I was hurting for about 2 days and then it started to lesson more and more, I didn't need my pain killers after about the 2nd or 3rd day.

It was worth it though.

Well my pain was alright. I mean I knew I had surgery, and I was glad I was in the hosiptal overnight to get some meds, but to tell you the truth when I went home the next morning, we went to get my pain meds at the pharmacy, and they did not have it, and wouldn't until the next day. They gave me "free" liquid (regular) tynolnol (can't spell), and that is what I used until my pain med came in the next day. I think I took one dose, :tired and I put the rest down the drain. I was back to work in 3 days (I had a sit down job), but I would never recommend it to anyone, I got tired.

But as for pain, not bad, my migrains are worse :phanvan

Remember that everyones pain level is different.

      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.
