Well I have some very bad news. When they opened me up to do revision' date=' there was so much scar tissue that it could not be done. I am left with 5 holes that will take a couple weeks to heal, lots of physical and emotional pain. So glad I believe in the saying, everything happens for a reason or I would be really messed up. Best of everything to all of you in your weight loss and healthy lifestyles![/quote']

I'm so sorry. I'm at a lost for words.

Good luck everyone who's having surgery today. I have been on the Protein shakes' date=' broths, Jello and ice pops for 11 days. My surgery is next Tuesday. My stomach is not handling these shakes very well. Anyone else having these problems??? I can't wait for cottage cheese. Never thought I would say that. LOL.[/quote']

I just got banded on 11/1 and did the pre-op diet for 2 wks before, which included mostly Protein Shakes. Unfortunately, they really upset my stomach too. I think for me it's because of all the artificial sweetener. I found a brand called primal fuel that's pretty good. It uses all natural ingredients.

Just got thru surgery last night, Nov 2....so I did end up staying the night in hospital. So far since home 11am on to now 4pm, I have downed about 35 oz including 30 grams of Protein. No gas pains, 6 cuts, largest 1.5 inches it looks like. More sore if I move in getting up or down, walking fine. Sugar count was high after surgery but fine now. Good to be on the other side......

I had double insurance coverage in July and my primary would not approve the lapband but the secondary would. I actually quit my job so I wouldn't have the coverage that was stopping me from having the procedure. I am thrilled that I am getting banded on November 9! That's next week, I'm excited and a nervous wreck but looking forward to a soupy thanksgiving for sure!

      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.
