The more you move the faster the gas will come out. Do you have some gas-x? It will help. Be kind to yourself. He is a very good surgen.

Are you able to move around and sit up unassisted? I am not yet banded and am trying to learn everything I can about it. I have had my gallbladder removed via lap and I think I moved around just fine, although I was only 24 when that happened so youth was on my side. I'm now 30 and concerned about the discomfort

Hi Llene

How r u ? I am feeling pretty well have had some pain in the incisions but not much. Only thing is I am feeling kind of hungry already not sure if normal but will address it on Tuesday when I see Dr. Choi, I also weighed myself today and was up 1 pound from surgery hard to believe since I've only been taking liquids and Jell-O

      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.
