Can you feel anything in the area of your band when you're straining?

No, I don't think so. It's all down lower but I still worry.

I used milk of Mac & I did finally go just remember you don't have much solid in you so b patient when you strain it should not affect your stomach or band its to high up in the digestive track my Dr said it was safe to try but not till I'm in pain it cancause other issues(hemorrhoids...ugh)

That sets my mind at ease ;) Thanks!!

Good to hear from you!!! I'm doing pretty good. I LOVE my band and am so happy I did this! I have zero appetite and feel super stuffed. I know I need to get the proteing in though so I am trying! ;)

Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!

      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.
