I so happy we are banded. I went in early yesterday for surgery. I stayed overnight, which was the best. I got all the needed medicines, I was never in pain. I was discharged 10/26 at 4:30 pm. I am home on the couch with my family watching movies. I hope you feel better. I did heat up a wash cloth, placed it in a zip lock to lay on port incursion. I hope you feel better. Did you stay overnight?

I've had my follow up appointment, and I'm healing excellent. I lost another 6lbs, so I'm down 20lbs total!! I go for my first fill at the end of November!!!

Hi, everyone. So I am a week out tomorrow from being banded. Doing pretty good! I am so close to sleeping on My stomach! LOL on My side for now. I am only hurting when I bend or getting up from sitting. It's really not that bad. Pleasantly surprised! I haven't been very hungry. Not starving I mean. My soda habit. Is gone and I don't even miss it! Hope all is well with everyone!

I am only a day and half from my banding date! Friday late morning is my time.......and has not had a diet coke for like 10 days now....I wonder how it will be sleeping on my left side? I am a side sleeper and it is left mostly. But plan on doing the recliner sleep time for a few days if needed.

I love reading the supportive comments and the support everyone is giving. I am scheduled for my Lapband on 11/21 (yes, the day before Thanksgiving). I am a little nervous but excited at the same time. I start my 2 week diet next week and I know that is the beginning of my new skinny and healthy life.

      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.
