Hi, I got banded too today. Home now. Well got Home at 8pm. They fixed my hernia also. Minimal pain. When I initially woke up omg, holy pain!! Took a few shots of pain meds to control it. Glad you both are doing well. So far I don't have gas pain either! Knock on wood!! I have been getting up and doing some walking. A tiny bit of discomfort in chest but nothing too bad. Can't believe I am on the other side!!

Ok I spoke too soon. Lots of gas pain. Bought baby simethicon drops, but not really helping. Very sore on port site. I dont know how much he put in my band, but can definately have more than 2cc of broth. Also anyone know uf a binder helps? FYI, I ordered nectar, its pretty good. Have only tried ice tea, but not too bad. How is everyone else?

Got lapband yesterday morning. I had so much pain! Now I have abdominal pain by the incisions. It's been easy sticking to the liquid diet so far. Hopefully I feel the same in a couple days.

      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.
