Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I am finally home stayed in the hospital for a day. Pain not bad at all just of course a little gas pain but walking really does the trick. the worst part of my hospital stay was basically yesterday getting the upper GI to see how liquid was getting down my band. That stuff was nasty almost felt like I was going to throw up! thank God I didnt and I was able to get my 1st shake down and they sent me home. It was great to sleep in my own bed last night. I am a little sore at my incision sites but that is to be expected. I have six incision sites but from what I can see they are pretty small so hopefully will heal nicely and wont have any complications. so far NO REGRETS except wish I would have did this sooner! O yea I want to get on the scale but wont until a week out I want some of the swelling to go down before I get on a scale again! Best of luck to everyone with upcoming surgery! again thanks for all the well wishes!

      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.
