I'm alright! I wake up in the middle of the night with gas pain and pain from my incision. Oh and nausea! But once i take all my meds I'm comfortable again. I was hoping to go back to work in two days. I may be playing that by ear... I had surgery Oct. 11... So I'm three days post op. I have the best tasting shakes! Syntha6 chocolate!

I am doing good. Gas is starting to go away. I've been walking a lot which helps a ton! I gotta admit I'm starting to feel pretty awesome. For those who are still waiting to get banded, try not to stress. It'll be over before you know it. My prayers are with all of you.

Congrats!! Yes, those both will go away. Did they give you anti nausea medication? Try putting a heating on the gas pain areas and moving around helps. I am 4 days post op. I am still feeling a little bit of gas pain but not much. Good luck! :)

YAY!!! Welcome to the other side...lol. The gas pain gets better with time. I recommend walking. I've been walking everywhere since surgery and its helped out a ton. Don't rush it though, take your time.

      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.
