I got banded this morning and have been to the grocery store/pharmacy (meds and walking some gas out). I am home resting and watching food Network (my fave post surgery past time).

And for the icing on the cake - fellow bandaged Radarluv and I got to meet in post-op/recovery. Apparently there was some conversation pre-op, but I was already dosed on the good stuff and remember none of it!

I have neve enjoyed burping as much as I am now - ready to get this gas out.

I hope all of our recent bandsters are having a great recovery'

Thanks, everyone. I over did it yesterday and work up around 2:30 this morning in some pain. A quick dose of meds and a move to couch has helped.

And for the record - I am not a fan of broth. Good thing I wasn't hungry yesterday. Also odd, I love me some sugar free tropical Popsicles. I couldn't even eat half of one yesterday bc they were suddenly too sweet. Bizarre.

Happy Band Day everyone. Im 2 weeks post surgery. First time since surgery I experienced the dreaded shoulder pain, which I think was from eating something that wasnt mushed up enough. Holy Moly, it was awful. So take it easy on yourselves, rest and stick to liquids as long as your doc says to.

      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.
