Tonight has been the first night that I felt hunger. But it wasn't really bad and it passed. My worst pain is where they took out my port from my band. The others don't hurt that much.

I'm having my band taken out too. Please tell me everything. How Long you stayed in the hospital? Anything I should ask my surgeon or anything you think I should know. I am really nervous and excited. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Today is good so far. I only spent one night in the hospital. I was up walking 3 hours after surgery. I was also getting in all my fluids. My surgeon said my band had caused so much trauma to my stomach that he had to remove a part of it. He is not the one who put the band in btw. My pain is pretty much only at my old port site. Since our ports are sewn into our muscle walls it hurts really bad when they take them out. I was in surgery for 1.5 hours. Still no hunger which is fantastic. Feel free to ask me any questions I didn't answer here and you can also find me on Facebook as Lisa Zaccone McGowin

Congrats Lisa! It seems like you sailed through! It's great you only had to stay 1 night. My surgeon usually makes people stay 2 nights. Part of me wants to o home as soon as possible and part of me wants to ake the extra time in the hospital because I have a very active 5 year old boy at home. I guess if I'm feeling good I'll be happy to head home. Can't believe it is finally so close!! Dec 20 for me! Yippie!

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes! Any other 10ers freaking out yet? I feel like I have so much to do, but I know I don't... it's just nerves I guess.

The 10th is almost here. Clear Liquids is causing headaches here for the diabetic. Talking about things to be done, hopefully we will be closed on our new house we we get back from surgery. So hopefully my husband can drive while I move everything I can. I am ready for us to have Christmas in a new house and start our healthy new life together.

I'm on full liquids until noon tomorrow. I couldn't imagine being on clear liquids for 2 weeks. Wishing you the best of luck on Monday. I have to be at the hospital at 6am.

      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.
