I got up within 5 hours of post surgery. it reduces the risks of everything that surgery puts you at risk for and on top of that i think it makes you feel better. Good luck I've had my lap band for almost 4 months and I am in love :wub: with it!!

Had my surgery today at 10:30 and the Nurse had me walking the parking lot before I left (less than 2 hours later). I was instructed to walk for 5 minutes every hour or more if able to speed up the healing process.

I was groggy at first, but I spent the afternoon walking around Cabela's on the way home from the Surgery Center. Once I got home, I was restless so I walked a couple of blocks around the neighborhood. About to head back out and walk along side my daughter while she rides her bike. I feel surprisingly good.

Msec you are after my heart. I would love to wander a Cabela's under the guise of recovery. I will have to settle for a costco trip tomorrow, early before the crowd. Hang in there everyone, so glad to read good reports.

      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.
