I was banded yesterday too!!!! Im so glad that your doing great as well!!!! so far Im pretty good...Im able to walk around my house and that helps a lot with the shoulder pain. The heating pad has been amazing! I had a hard time laying down to sleep had to sit up. i can drink and drink broth ..i have no desire for either but Im drink anyway for fear of dehydration. Congratulations our your new journey!!!! I wish a speedy recovery!!!!

All you people are positive in your recovery thoughts. Way to go. I'm sure any discomfort will go away soon and it is important to drink your fluids and use shaved/crushed ice chips. If you have a snow cone machine use it to make your ice smooth to swallow. Best wishes to all of you. Keep us informed. My band date is Aug.6.

      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.
