Surgery tomorrow morning @7:30. . Anyone able to sleep the night before?

I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted on how you are feeling.

Didn't have trouble sleeping except the night I spent in the hospital. They wake you up about every hour for one thing or another.

I haven't been sleeping as well since I got home. Perhaps it is the pain meds.

I was also banded the 20th. Today is definitely better than yesterday. Still have gas pains in my chest and shoulder that takes my breath away but prayerfully it'll be over soon

I was also banded the 20th with hernia repair. Gas hasn't been problem...a little bloating but not really painful. I think my appetite is starting to return some. My incisions are really starting to itch....but overall don't feel too bad. I wish all the other July bandsters good luck and quick healing.

      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.
