Okay, so I was banded on October 10th.

Came home yesterday around 3pm.

Got twenty minutes of sleep last night.

But otherwise the pain has only been by my large incision. Which is more to my left side.

I'be been drinking apple juice and Water.

Was wondering if peppermint tea or raspberry tea was allowed just yet.

Thank you, I have been dying for a cup of tea. Plus I've heard it is supposed to loosen things up .

I was told no caffine, I could have any liquid that was caffine free. So go for it.

You stayed overnight? (I hope that question isn't too personal) My doctor told me mine is outpatient unless something unexpected happened. I was relieved since i'm a cash patient.

Yes. I did stay over night. Insurance covered it. As well as my mother working in my hospital. So I was able to stay over night. Plus it mandatory. I had surgery early Wednesday. And then Thursday morning, I had to go for an esophogram.

      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.
