That is awesome. Just remember that when you wake up SIP the liquid they give you or you will be in pain. Also, make sure to take your pain meds and walk as much as you can. Try to sip every 15 mins or so to keep hydrated. I've had my band since 2/17/2012 and I love it. I've lost 38 lbs. Don't focus on weight loss the first 6 weeks this is a healing time. I didn't lose a pound! my 1st 6 weeks so just give your body time to heal. Good Luck!

jc thankful has given you some sound advice. is tarted becoming frustrated cause every day i would step on teh scal and for the first 6 weeks i lost maybe.. 3 lbs.. i thought this wasnt working.. this is not great.. something is wrong.. allow you body the time to heal properly and dotn focus on weightloss. they gave me ice chips when i woke up.. liek jc thankful mentioned.. whatever liquid ur allowed to haave .. make sure ur utilizing it to keep hydrated. i had a nasty taste in my mouth.. ecck.. ignore it if you do and crunch away on the chips. buy some ice.. you know the italian ices.. sugar free of course.. for the days after sugery. it was very soothing going down.

good luck with everything.. :)

      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.
