Im new here. I was banded 9/20. I have spoken a little on some threads and figure its time to introduce myself. Y'all r all so nice here and Im happy to have found this ap.

I started at 227 .. Have never been over weight really.. Had ovary cancer 2 yrs ago and had a hysterectomy and stopped smoking. So i had went from 140 to 227 in about 5-6 yrs. I love food period! When i jogged i could eat a lot but once i stopped running i gained fast.

I have been depressed the last few days... Wondering what on earth i have done! I can't burp, in sore, weak, feel a little confused or uninterested .. Im glad i have y'all!

Each day you will see improvements, your pain will get better, you will start having more energy and once you start having fills your appetite will decrease. This to shall pass, hang in there. I read this site for encouragement. When I read people reaching their goals I know it's reachable for me too!

I am 11 days out and trust me it get Better!! I was crying a lot and feeling really weak. Once you recuperate and start taking in a little more calories you will feel much better. Even my family noticed a big difference in my attitude. Just hang in there :)

I am 8 days post op and back to work. I was going stir crazy sitting around the house. Went out for good walks a few times a day, caught up with family and friends. As someone else said, I am burping like it is my job. Surgery kicks you and the faster you can get off the pain pills, get moving around the clearer your head will be.

Be gentle on yourself, take it one day at a time!!

      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.
