I cleaned for the last two days too. Lol! I figured I'd feel better if my room was cleaned. Then I totally rearranged my side of the bed with a bigger side table and a basket for all my books, medicines, chargers, etc. Now I'm settling in to read a chapter and hopefully go to sleep. You're just an hour behind me tomorrow, I'll wait to hear from you! Good luck!

Hello! So it's been a week and a day since I had my lap band surgery! I have lost 20 lbs, and I feel great! I haven't felt like I've been recovering from surgery at all, my life is back to normal as it was, including the foods I can eat. I have followed my post-op diet pretty well, but have noticed when I slip up that some foods they say will bother you, don't. An example, my family and I went to eat Mexican food a few nights ago, and I ordered refried beans( on my doctors list), but they came with a side of rice( not on his list). I ate some rice , and had no problem with it at all? I know no matter what I should follow my doctors list, but it's difficult...

Solson8201- how are you??

Just got home from the hospital. Feeling ok right now. Gas pain is the only thing bothering me- makes it hard to take a deep breath.

I'm feeling good too. I was very nauseous after surgery from the anesthesia, which was pretty miserable. Better now though. I got home a little while ago. Gas pains not too bad (I think because all the wrenching made me burp a lot). Glad it went well for you too! Talk to you tomorrow :-)

      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.
