Day three post op and I have a bit of gas but much clearer in the head. I have walked around house alot today and took a small nap. Feeling pretty good. Port is a bit tender but liquid extra strentgh tylenol works good. Have not had to use the prescription pain meds at all. Alot of gas "movement". Thanks so much for all those prayers and good words of encouragement, It meant the world to me to read all those!!:sleep

Thanks for posting and letting us know how you are doing. I am glad everything went well. It sounds like you are doing well and it is good you don't have to use the prescription pain meds, but they are there if you need them. I tell ya, I found that the liquid tylenol works better for me than the pills ever did. My hubby agrees!

I had my lap band put on on Tuesday of this week. Everything appears to be just fine. Not too much discomfort. Got out of hospital on Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Hennigan did a fine job.

I had my band placed on 9/12/06 at Bassett in Cooperstown and am very pleased that there is very little discomfort. Got out of hospital on Wednesday and am looking forward to loosing the 80 pounds I need to.

      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.
