Surgery is tomorrow. I'm so anxious and excited I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight. I haven't felt like this since I was a child on Christmas Eve. Sending everyone good luck and good thoughts!

Headed to the hospital today to be banded! Surgery scheduled for 12:30. I'm not nervous about the lap band - I just don't like the process. You know, IV's, hospital gown, anesthesia, etc. but you know what they say...nurses make the worst patients! More posts later! Good luck to anyone else getting banded today!

Well I am officially banded as of 3:00 pm yesterday. I was hurting pretty bad from having my tummy blown up to do procedure. It lasted about 5-6 hours but once I took pain med it helped and has since gone away for the most part. My largest incision hurts and I'm sore but it's not unbearable. I've only had ice chops and sips of Gatorade so far but not feeling hungry. They really pre-medicated me well for nausea. I have a patch behind my ear to remove in three days, I have a band on my wrist that sends little electrical currents and signals my brain to not feel nauseous. Not to mention regular meds. So I pray for no throwing up. Overall - not so bad today. Hope everyone else is re-cooperating well!

First day after surgery and I'm feeling pretty good aside from two incisions that are painful. My liquids are going down just fine. So far so good :)

I'm on my second day after surgery and it seems worse today than yesterday...I'm guessing its due to more inflammation. I feel gassy today as well. I didn't want to take any pain medicine this morning but may have to anyway. My liquids seem to be going down fine, but I'm a tad hungry. Hope everyone is 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.
