Good for you Kimmy. Sounds like you are doing fine. I have my ups and downs. Doc says I took my pain pills too fast so I don't think I get any more' date=' ugh. Yay, Rachel. I'm as pleased as you about being able to sleep on my side. I have a huge amount of pillows surrounding me.

I can't believe a week ago I just had my lap band surgery. Time has gone by so fast. We don't have a scale in the house so I won't know how much weight i've lost since my surgery date. I've been busy and walk a lot. Today was the first day I went back to the gym and walked 2 and half miles :)

So you had the laproscopic band surgery and not Gastric bypass?

I thought it was normal I just wanted to check I feel like I'm going to throw up a lot but I don't eat hardly anything. Plus I have a hard time getting my liquids in. I really try to drink but it doesn't feel good so I don't drink as much as I should. Any thoughts

2oz at a time. Also warm liquid may help. I found I became lactose intolerant.. I still get sick when I drink more then 2oz. I have to wait for about 5 mins and drink more the said it should take you 1 hr to drink 8oz. Hope this helps.

      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.
