I am amazed that I am feeling so well! I have a headache, but I think that's from not eating. I can' t have any Protein Drinks until after I have my swallow test. My stomach is growling, but at least this day is almost over with.

Right now a Protein Drink is sounding GREAT!

Welcome Denise!!

I am going to be banded next week! I get really excited when I hear someone is banded and it goes so well.

Check out the January thread for support or the Lower BMI thread. They have made a huge difference for me with the support they have given!!

It's day 3 now and I am stil feeling great. Just hungry. Those Protein drinks don't take the hunger away for very long. I still haven't had any gas pains. I wonder if they are still on their way. Everyone has told me the gas pains are the worse part of the whole thing but I have no gas pains (yet)

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. Bandsters are the most awewome people!;):);):)

I guess for all the meetings I had to go to, I have no Idea what the band size is or means. Does that have anything to do with the amount of fills you need? How long after you have been banded do they do a fill?

Congratulations on being banded! I'm so glad things are going well for you so far!

Get yourself some Gas-X to ward off the gas pains. I take one with each "meal." So far, no pains at all.

Be sure you are getting enough Protein. It'll help you feel full longer. Keep drinking to stay hydrated.

You're doing great--keep it up!

      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.
