I was banded Thursday and I have a post opt diet to follow no solids for three weeks. Thin liquids first week, thick liquids second week, mushers third week. I drink Muscle Milk Protein Shakes they're delicious especially the Cookies and cream.

My surgery is December 17th!! I've been on the liquid diet 4 days now, it's hard, but I actually feel great and it's boosted my inner strength somehow. I also started seeing a therapist this week to give me support through all of this. There is nothing wrong with taking charge of your health and happiness. Be proud, and I'll be sending good vibes your way! :)

amen girlfriend!!!

I have a panic attack disorder and have to see a therapist weekly. Mine is looking forward to helping me with the anxiety.

Good luck tomorrow Marybell!

Im up and moving for a few, ive been relaxing in the recliner since about 6. so 4hours maybe- when i woke up i was throwing up so they gave me medicine which knocked me out and when i came to i was throwing up more. so i had to stay longer then expected. surgery was done at 11. but wasnt discharged until 430. the nurses stuck me 7x to get a iv line. finally the charge nurse had to do it. when i woke up i was so sore and uncomfortable. but around 2 that wore off and i wanted to pee and walk. so i did. its nice to be home in my own chair though. my arms feel heavy and my left side of my stomach is sore. doctor said my liver looked great. i did have an umbilical hernia but that is all no heital hernias. thanks for all ur support dear

      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.
