hi rand

i was banded on the 6th and am recovering well. i am sure you are also.

what part are you tired of? trust me, we all have been there.

just stay on the liquids and do what the dr says. remember you are so still just outta surgery that you are healing now. do not worry about (losing/gaining). once you are off the liquids, the mushies/real soft foods come along and you will feel more human again (i know i did and drove ms jean batty).

i can feel my plication only because at around 1/2 to 3/4 cup of what i am eating i am full ---which is what it is suppose to do. the band is not filled yet and i may get a smidge in august at my 2nd month follow up.

right now you just need to rest and finish up with the dr orders.

how much longer on the liquids?

raleigh nc at your service darling. make a list of questions you want to ask and cover any qualms you have or dont have. just relax and go at your pace. this is YOU. do not ponder about bobby joe curly joe moe's weight loss. this is your pace. sf pop sicles saved me as well as my Protein shakes. the worst is nearly over ............trust me.

      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.
