Ok well several posts on other threads won't help us to offer you advice on this thread. You need to update your profile so the info is right there and available or be prepared to answer the same questions on every thread you start.

You say you're a newbie. Are you new to the forums or newly banded? When was your band surgery?

Rhonda, you were just banded on the 10th... don't get discouraged. I think these feelings are normal, sweetie. You'll get through this and come out on the other side so much healthier, just give it time. Take it one day at a time & try not to get overwhelmed. We just went through a MAJOR surgery, there has to be a MAJOR healing period. Each day will get a little better.

Hey, Rhonda. I realize you're probably using your phone (like me) when you post, but it would be really great if you could use some punctuation. Sometimes it's very difficult to understand your posts because all the words run together. Also, I'm not sure who said it, but it really is important to clarify a couple of details each time you start a new thread because people sometimes miss threads. For example, each time I post, I remind whoever is reading that I was banded X days ago. That way, they know how to respond. The advice to a just-banded patient is different than the advice to someone who is a few months down the road. Hang in there, keep your chin up, and ask good questions. Soon, you'll be The one offering help to those less experienced than you!

      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.
