So much respect for those already banded and made it throught the two week liquid phase! This is such a struggle for me. I'M HUNGRY!!!! I miss food and chewing. My surgery date is 6 days away, so I'm going to stick with it... but i just had to vent, lol.

It does get easier. I was banded 10/8. I was sick of the Protein Shakes and Soup. But, my surgery went smoother because of my "skinny liver," which was good because I had an undiagnosed hiatle hernia that needed to be repaired. It also helped me to visualize what a cup looks like and how I feel after eating a cup. I just got onto mushies yesterday. Good luck and remember it will be well worth it.

Hello! I had the same thing! Smooth liver so no biopsy was taken ( my doc is also trauma doc and while he's in there he removes any scar tissue, checks liver, gall bladder and hernia) I also had the hiatal hernia that was repaired. I was told that because it was repaired laparoscopically that I really need to be careful in lifting etc for 4-6 weeks.

I was banded 10/5. I move to soft foods on Saturday.

I'm kinda freakin:( Banded at 10am tomoro, my sis was banded six days ago everything fine..some shoulder pain/gas for a few days. Sis told me she had trouble breathing right after surgery & woke up lost & disorientated.... But didn't last long. This is what's freaking me out WAKING UP AFTER SURGERY:( I'm a nervous nelly in general and make MYSELF mentally crazy...I'm not afraid of pain, had c-section, nose-tounge- eyebrow-&nipple pierced, lol, no problem! It's the breathing, waking up out of anesthesia & freaking out, and feeling weird gas bubbles in places like my chest & back.......ahhhhhhh

      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?

      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.
