I've got no advice. Im a newbie just like you. I'm experiementing with the shakes because that muscle milk light has a very bitter aftertaste that I dont like, reminds me of sweet n low. I bought a hamilton beech personal sixe blender today for $20 at a discount store and it whips up great smoothies, crushes ice like a dream. I made myself an Unjury one and my daughter a Peanut Butter banana smoothie. Both were yummie

Hi I was banded on 9-6.Shop for all your post op food before hand.I was same day surgery and had a lot of gas pain when I came home so walk walk walk as much as you can to move gas.Heating pad helped and I also iced my stomach and that relieved pain and swelling.Sip Water and try to get all your fluids in it's hard at times because you feel full but sip sip sip.The most important tip for me to bring to the hospital is chapstick ahem I was in recovery my lips were so dry.Good luck to 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.
