Hi Dozr and welcome to LBT! What things are you experiencing? I was banded the day before you. I am feeling much better today,but the past 2 days weren't so good. Mainly gas pains,but luckily they've subsided alot. Take advantage of all the supportive people here. The site is filled with lots of advice, support, and knowledge. Best of luck to you on your weight loss journey. Gigi

I'm up late too, Dozr. Although on the west coast, I'm not as late as some others might be.

So I'll add my welcome, as well, and a big congratulations on your banding.

Welcome!! I was banded the week before you (1-23-07). I'm feeling pretty good and I think I'm getting a handle on the eating differences. It's an exciting time!! Congrats to you and best wishes!

      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.
