Everything went fantastic this morning. I am in a very nice private room and have been sucking on ice chips since I woke up. I've already had my first walk up and down the hall!

So I was supposed to get band removed then converted to bypass on 1/19/13 but the band did not agree with my body and I had too much scar tissue to get to my stomach. So they just removed my band which took 2hrs. So now I'm rescheduled for late may early June. So I have to do another liquid diet in 4 months and be in pain again. I wish I would have never gotten the band and just went with the bypass 7 months ago

I'm so sorry :(

I hated my band in the end and I was terrified I would need two surgeries. I hope you heal quickly from the removal and that the next 6 months go by quickly.

I am down 18 pounds but I have at least 100 to lose, so it'a nice to get the first 18 out of the way so quickly! With the band every time I lost weight, I would go down a big chunk and then back up a few. It was a constant yo-yo. I sure hope this is different and the pounds stay gone!!

Oh and I am also still sore - that port incision is my largest one and it really hurts. I had that problem when they put the stupid thing in too!

My port site bugged me for 6 weeks when I had the beast removed in August!!!! It was really the only spot that bothered me at all....per my surgeon 'it takes a lot of scraping to get the port off the abdominal wall'....yeah, that just sounds painful!!!!!

      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.
