Is tentatively my date. I have 4 months to get my insurance required pre-op out of the way and get my mind right for this Journey. I've started a blog if anyone would like to hear how it is going and would love to hear from some band-buddies that will be going through the process around the same time!!

I was planning for a September banding, but now it's looking like October. My preferred day would be October 16, that way I would have Fall Break before I have to return to work. I'll check out your blog!

Got banded ystdy and I have been in excruciating pain since i woke up from surgery from the gas especially in my back. I have a nausea patch behind my ear so no nausea at all. My incisions are ok but the port area is a little sore. But I am still miserable. The heating pad is helping my back pain. And frequent back massages from my hubby, mom, & d on helps a little. I have probably walked a mile up & down my hallway trying to get rid of it. I signed up for Lap Band not gas. #miserable

Vickie I assure you the road you're on is a short one. Tomorrow will be better. Come Monday you will feel totally different. Just keep doing what you're doing and the misery will soon dissipate and be forgotten.

      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.
