How are you feeling? We were banded on the same day and I am still sore, still cannot wear anything on my waist because i'm bloated. I did start mushies today! I had egg salad (puree), som Philly chives and onion cream cheese and three or four tiny non fat/ no salt potato chips! So far so good! My port is just always so sore! Sorry to complain, I'm just a big wuss!

. Hey how are you. You are not a wuss because it is going to be sore for awhile. I am still sore especially on the port side. Egg salad sounds good. Gone give that a try. You are not complaining because this is what this site is for:). My stomach is still bloated also it will be a minute before it goes down. I look like i am pregnant.lol . I am doing pretty goodover all. Your stomach will go down gradually.

I'm Dec. 19. I can sleep on my right side but not the left side where the port is. I still think my tummy is slightly bloated. No more pain though. It was hard not to eat/drink alcohol at a New Year's Eve party last night. But I survived. Surgery day I was 171. The pounds were coming off so fast and now for a few days the scale hasn't moved. I like it better when it was falling off:)

I'd love to hear how the earlier December people are doing.

Good morning. My port is on my right side and I definite cannot sleep on that side. I was banded December 18. My stomach is still a little tender but not really sore like it was. I can feel my port when I touch my stomach and it made me queasie. Girl 171 was good. Are you weighing yourself @ home if so maybe you want to stay off of the scale and just weigh in when you go to the dr. The scale can stress you out if you are not loosing and it make you disappointed also. My dr told me not to weigh myself in the meetings just let him do the weighing and that is what i am doing:) so if can just let them do it for awhile. Hope all is well and the scale will start to move sooner or later.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
