I'm home as well. Surgery on 12/21 at 1pm and by 7pm I was discharged. Port site also tender for me. No gas pains yet but I've had a heating pad on my neck and back since I've been home...I think that helped a lot. Just been sticking to ice Water and no issues with that. Apple juice sounded good. Had one sip and it just tasted way too sweet. Congrats to everyone else and I hope you are all doing well.

I was banded yesterday and determined to go home that so i walked, walked, walked. It really does help. The worst part for me is getting up or laying down. That hurts!! Once im up or laying down, im fine. Now I'm sipping Water, eating Jello with a baby spoon and just relaxing.

We did it guys, we're here! Our new life is just around the corner!!

Hi there I am being banded on 18 Dec. I can't wait it seems it is all I can think of! I don't care that I can't eat Christmas dinner or anything. I see this as my present to myself I have not told anyone close. Can't bear the judgment. I do that enough to myself. Looking forward to keeping up with all your results.

Btw. I am in Australia so different time zone to all of you.

I don't feel like people should judge you for it, you are making one of the greatest choices of your life. If anything yell it out to the world!

I didn't want a lot of ppl to know either...it kinda bothers me that my mom told all of her friends. I should have told her I didn't want many to know...my fault, I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I had surgery, I just don't want ppl to judge me & talk about me behind my back. Which they probably will regardless...but whatever.

      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.
