Hello to all! So blessed to have found this site as I've sifted through various forums during my pre-op week.

I was banded this morning and am now at home resting and drinking/sucking my ice chips and walking around well. I cannot wait until my throat heals from that tube, although, I am grateful the gas pains are finally dissipating.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and that I'm super excited. :P

Welcome to the world of the banded! Keep up the walking. That helped me recover faster and not complain of the discomfort. I love my band and haven't wished it gone a minute since I was banded. Listen to your bariatric doctor & their staff when you have questions. We are here to cheer you on & wish you good health & happiness. :wub:

Thanks and hello to you all!

Sorry for responding so late. I was out of it yesterday, of course, but I slept well.

I walked outdoors a little last night and around the block early this morning. I'm releasing a lot of gas today, finally! I'm still a little sore left side under breast, but not as bad. I have a perscription for Phenergan and I think I'll have it filled just to be on the safe side. :D

      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.
