On IV fluids the nurse called my Dr and he prescribed a suppository. I all so had a hernia the size of a baseball Im home now doing much better but for a while I was thinking what the hell had I done to my self? All so due to one nurse working last nite I had to get my self my Iv and my spd's to the bathroom so no gas pain at all..yeaa me

You won't feel anything - even when your band is tight. They don't fill you during surgery, your body needs to heal (and sometimes your stomach will get inflamed from being manipulated during surgery). After you get your first fills (4 - 6 weeks post op, depending on your doc) you will DEFINITELY feel different the first time you try to eat! But it's a good thing you're feeling normal.

      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.
