Im so excited that my day for my surgery is coming so quickly. The pre op diet has not been as bad as I thought it was going to be. So I was wondering if anyone else has a date around that, that us going through the same things?

Hi! I was banded 8/23 too. How'd it go for you? Mine was great, spent night in hospital and home today. Lots of discomfort from gas pains but overall feeling good. Took a few Vicodin today and that helped me relax a bit. Keep in touch and good luck! Jason

I also spent the night in the hospital. Im a little surprised about how much pain i'm having. I never thought I would be able to feel liquids going down. Can you? Also im finding that I like to drink water/ Vitamin Water more than juices.

I'm drinking a lot of diet iced tea, Jello and just had Protein Shake this morning. I loaded up on pain pills yesterday and woke up today feeling so much better. I've been walking a lot too. Jello and ice pops are also great. Surprised how little hunger I feel. How are you doing?

      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.
