6 days post-op and back at work. Down 20 lbs since Pre-op diet and feeling pretty good. Still having issues with some gas pains but am moving around and taking Gas-X. Hard to believe that a yogurt and applesauce cup were the only two things I've had today and I am FULL. This band is going to end up being my life saver!!

Good luck and Best Wishes to all Banders coming up. It's been since Aug 6 I got banded. No issues, No problems with surgery and a mild post-op, and I still love the costco Premier Protein chocolate shakes, especially if you freeze them for 40-50 minutes prior to drinking. Its make a great smoothie and the texture changes to an ice cream condition.

Be Positive and May the good Lord Bless all of YOU!

      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.
