I know the pre-op phase is hard … but you can do this! If you 'break-down' now you will set yourself back … you've come this far … following our diet guidelines is the KEY to success with being banded.

Try having some broth … it helps to ease the craving.

Maybe even some thinned out cream of chicken Soup may help … but keep things liquid and take control … you can do this!!! :D

The pain meds seem to help w/ the gas 'pain' itself … walking around gets it going, too … but I would have probably slept through the night if I didn't have it. They say it takes about a week for it to pass … you'll be there soon!!! Have you weighed yourself yet? I'm wondering if the gas pumped into us adds temp. weight.

When I first got on the scales I actually gained 5 lbs due to Fluid swelling etc. But now the weight us just coming off because I'm not eating anything. I'm sure one I moved to mushy stage some weight will come back on again. I'm prepared because I know this is the beginning

I'm leaving for surgery in awhile. And my dr said don't weigh until next Wednesday morning and then continue to weigh only on Wednesdays. He wants me listening to my body rather than the scale is what he said.

Hi all,

Can't sleep well at night due to incision sites pain.

Walking around lots so the gas pains are all but gone.

Before surgery I was 242 after surgery 249. Gas does have weight.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

      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.
