Surgery complete, discharged at a 2pm. Gassy? Yes. Throat is dry and a little sore. Overall I feel good just groggy. I'm home now, have enjoyed a sf Popsicle, and it felt soooo good to my dry mouth.

Hope everyone is ok :)

I agree that Popsicle is like heaven

Hi everyone, My name is Kathy and I'm a newbie to this site but just received word this a.m. (5/15/12) that my surgery is scheduled for May 22. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I'm so ready. My cousin had lapband done a year ago in April so she has been a big help to me but would really appreciate words of encouragement and support through this from some others and will offer the same especially since we all have the same goals for weight loss.

congrats Kathy

The May banders is a great bunch of people and everyone is very sopportive of every one. We also have a group called the May blooming banders if you would like to join jump on in. You may add your surgery date also. If you have any problems just let me know.

8 days post op and now on full liquids. Wondering if I can have broccoli and cheddar Soup from panera bread? Anyone know

Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I don't believe so, Your Soups are all suppose to be 98 fat free and I really don't believe that Panera is selling fat free soups.

For all the New May banders, Welcome! Sorry I have not been on a bunch. But been very busy since my surgery (5-2-12). My mother just had surgery today and my mother in law is in the hospital. So Hopefully things are starting to slow down and I'll have more time for all my new best friends "The May Banders". We also have a group called the May Blooming Bandsters. If you would like to join we would love to have you! If you have any problems joining let me know and I will send you an invite. You may also add your surgery to our calendar there or let me know and I will add you to the May bander calandar. As most of you are finding out that the May banders are a group of great people. Please come JOin in all the support and love we give to each other. Let go a journey together!

      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.
