I received my band on Tuesday (09/04/07). I not quite sure how I feel right now other than sore. I am so glad it is done and I am sure the pain will go away in time. As for now, I am on the wonderful liquid diet too.

Hello Everybody,

I just got out of Tampa General Hospital. My band slipped but everything is fine now. I got to start over and go on liquids again, but that is okay. I'm still losing and very happy! Good luck to all!

Sorry to hear about your band slippage. Glad that things are going better. I'm in Jacksonmville but lived in Clearwater from 1979 till 2000. Hope things are going well for everyone down there. My kids still live there so I am there quite a bit. Good luck to everyone!

I was unable to keep ice chips down or small sips of Water. I kept vomiting. Thats when you better get to the hospital asap. I went to Tampa General and they done surgery the next day, I had blockage.

They were able to save my band.

Lou, Where are you getting your surgery done? Also, Please let me know what you have been told about your after-op diet ( liquids, pureed? ).

Mine was full liquids the day after surgery for 2 weeks, pureed for 2 weeks, soft cooked for one week then normal meals.

Walmart has a whey Protein Powder, choclate, that is pretty good. 2 of these a day with one meal has worked real good for me, with no hunger at all. Take care, Dave

      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?

      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.
