Thanks everyone! I made it thru surgery quite well. But the post pain is rough! It feels as if I got stabbed several times in my chest, stomach, and left shoulder.

However, im on 1 day post op and I feel a little better. No more shoulder pain and medicine is starting to help slightly with stabbing feeling.

I have no regrets about my banded decision....even with this pain. NO PAIN NO GAIN!

They say that shoulder pain is from gas. Three girls in my office has had the band and they say I have to walk a lot after surgery to try to avoid that pain. I hope it's feeling better. I go in on the 16th. These girls looks great. It's been about two years for them and they say it comes off slow,but they kept watching the scale go llower and lower. Best decision they made and hoping for the best.

      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.
