I got banded on the 25th. It went super well. Got up about 1 hour after i woke up and was already walking. I have no pain, just discomfort due to gas and bloating. I feel like a balloon!!! I stayed in the ICU for the night and was feeling so good (compared to others in the ICU unit) that the nurses were wondering if i just got surgery. I finally convinced the doctor to let me go the following day. I know I have a good tolerance to pain but i'm wondering i'm I normal or what?? Getting my liquids down ok too! Strangely i've been craving cheese since yesterday..i know, weird! So for now, resting as much as I can and trying to drink as much Water as I can. I'm SO glad this is over, I feared the worst and I think I was stressing alot for nothing. For those having surgery soon, stay positive, its not as bad as we think....

      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.
