My band was placed yesterday at noon. I woke up in pain. Oh my, the quickly gave me something for the pain. I had to urinate before I could be discharged. I had to sip Water before I had that urge. So upon being discharged they gave my mom my prescription. We went to Walgreens to get it filled, just to find out the med has been discontinued. I had to call the on call doctor to get him to call in something else. Last night all I wanted to do was to sleep. I had and still have no desire to eat. I walked around a little. I have to remind myself to sip water throughout the day. I do deep breathing exercises. To be honest, I only want to sleep.

My surgery is in two days and I'm starting to get worried! Up until now I've only been worried about the anesthetic, but now I'm worried about how I'll feel afterwards!!

I know how hard it is not to worry about the unknown and what everything will be like afterwards. I felt the same way for a bit beforehand and I'm sure we all have. But I can tell you that while I know everyone's experience is different I had what seems to be a lucky one and even for those who struggle more - it gets better with each passing day and you CAN manage it. Best of luck to you!!

      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.
