It's now April 7th--6:05 PM and I am post Lap band as of March 28th. I am finding out the hard way to on schedule. But I am doing ok. My port site is the only place that seems to hurt more than the rest. Yes at about 10:30 am--March 28th--I went in for the banding.

There is a funny feeling to eating now. You all were correct--my tastes have changed. I can now have lunch for $1.19 at wendy's. Their chili is pretty good--lots of juice and nice soft Beans. Fits perfect with my mush diet. I tried to cheat and brought into my wanting a piece of ham---trust me--I was a comode God within 5 minutes of eating it. Just a small amout--maybe 2 ozs... That's happened 2 times in 8 days. Trust me--I am not up to that anymore.

I started my walking 4 days ago....Funny I did good for the first three days. My 4th day felt like I was out of gas. So I just used light exercises on the leg machine--since i did drive to the gym. Back on track as of Monday again.

My next appointment for a fill---April 18th...My has time been flying by. Do I feel hungry? Yes---just a little. No more binge hunger---"Thank the Lord.... Last thing--the legs puffiness has gone away....

Hi Girlinnycn - I am going through the process of being banded and am using Dr. Ren (who is Dr. Fielding's partner and wife). I would love to hear about your experience with them. Good luck.

      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.
