Dear Weight Loss Comrades:

I survived my LapBand surgery today and surprisingly, I feel great. I was really expecting to be in more pain than what I am.

Went in for the surgery at 6 a.m. Surgery performed 7:30 a.m. Discharged at 11 a.m.

The incisions are very tiny. With the exception of some really mild stomach discomfort (which is alleviated with my heated blanket), I feel great for having underwent surgery. Again, I was really expecting to be in a lot more pain than I am.

Haven't regretted anything. I already lost 14 pounds just from having been on the pre-op liquid diet.

This is so worth it!!!

WOW ! Awesome and congrats: ) keep the positive attitude - start walking immediately and measure how long you walk (2 minutes , 10 minutes - whatever it is) and add 30 seconds every day 7days a week. It will make a big BIG difference !

You are on your way!

I just had surgery today too. Not really in pain just soreness. Only pain I have is in my back and it's a muscle pain that I already had. I don't feel any of the gas pains really. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

      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.
