Ok surgery over, feeling sore and uncomfortable more than pain. The upper shoulders and chest from gas is the worse, my 5 incisions are various sizes, 1 about 1 1/2 in being the largest. My problem I have a nauseous feeling and I don't want to eat, only got down 2 of my 5 shakes yesterday and only about 16 oz. of Water. My shake is going down a bit better this morning hope this goes away soon and the soreness goes quicker, down 2 lbs this morning. I think I want something in my mouth to chew well maybe with some substances but have to wait 2 weeks for that don't I . I did have about 1/2 sf popsicle last night it helped, (don't think I was suppose to have it ? ) Would like to hear from others who have just had their lapband done are we on the same boat LOL and best wishes to all November banders

Hi my name is Lori and I am scheduled for November 15th. I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It consist of 3 Protein Shakes per day plus SF Jello and pops. Was having a difficult time the past couple of days but woke up this morning with a new attitude and regained confidence. I haven't weighed my self since Thursday morning but I can tell I've lost weight. My stomach is a little flatter and my pants a lil looser at the waist. I ve only been on this website for a couple of day's but already it has helped me. Thank you all for sharing ur good and not so good experiences. It really does help! Hav a blessed day everyone. Oh and I would like to join the FB page as well. You can find me as LD Duran. Thx again. :)

I was just banded Nov. 1st and was pretty sore for days 1 and 2 but by day 3 it was so much better. My doctor told me in advance that I wouldn't be able to get much liquid down but to try my best througoit the day. I wasn't even allowed shakes until day 3. Days 1 and 2 were Water, broth, and SF popsicles.

My surgery date is November15. My Dr gave me a sugar busters diet. I started low sugar per the sugar busters anything less than 3.5 grams of sugar, all whole grain items are ok. I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what I can eat and I'm afraid I'm going to gain weight. Any suggestions? I do not know anyone who has had this surgery to get advice from.

It's almost here not sure of the feelings I'm having. Not sure if I'm nervous, excited or both. Gotta be at hospital for 7.

      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.
