Hello Everyone!

I was just banded 3 days ago. Other than a little soreness I feel totally normally. I am hoping share my success with others who understand. Welcome all!

I was also banded on July 19. I feel the same. Sore but that's about all. I keep drinking my Protein Drinks and having broth. Can't wait to move to the next stage!!

I know I am ready to move on to the next stage but I definitely don't want to rush it. Are you feeling super hungry?

I haven't really felt hungry until today. So I added another Protein Drink in. I'm really wanting some saltiness. Everything in the liquids has been sweet. Well except for the broth but it's low sodium.

I was banded on the 31st. Had a lot of pain the first few days now its a waiting game. :) I find that I am hungry but I'm good and only drink my Protein shakes ect. I typically will not break 600 calories a day however I have noticed that I am snacking more ( sugar-free hello and popcicles)...I think its almost mindless (which is bad) but then I tell myself that it is ok because I don't eat many calories, I get large amounts of Protein with low carb and low sugar. I don't want to be OCD about food but should I try and stop the Snacks? I fear that if I do then I will fall completly off the wagon...what to do?

And by the way I've lost weight since surgery. Day of surgery 228 today 214.4

I snack a lot too! I don't eat a lot of calories, but I'm like you.... If I quit my Snacks then I'm scared of eating too much

Hello everyone i was banded July 06 I am new here... I was in pain for the first week and felt uncomfortable in the second. I was under the impression all would be okay and i would be ready for work in 1 week. It wasn't like that at all....did anyone feel like depression and anxiety the first days it was really awful for me not sure if it is just me or someone out there also felt this way.

      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.
