congratulations Kim. I do not have the band MYself, you just had surgery girl, you are going to feel like hell.

I am assuming people feel like crap for at least a couple weeks, right?

You are now on the Losing Side! Just ponder that & feel good inside about how you will feel 6 months from now....! :clap2:

*sorry U feel like crap tho*

Have you tried visiting a dietician and getting a personal coach? It would be much cheaper than the surgery. If you're doing this mainly for cosmetic purposes, I would try this route. I was self-pay, and it's not easy coming up with that kind of cash.

It's quite possible that you think you're doing everything right (diet wise and workout wise), but you're not, so find some professionals to go over your routine. There's so much information out there that it's easy to do the wrong thing.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

      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.
