Ok I've got a question or two. I see where some of you are talking about your drains. Are you still in the hospital with the drain tube or did they send yo home with it? In the event that you went home with it, then can you tell me approximately how long will you have to keep it? R any of you band to bypass? If so is the pain about the same? Did they tell you that it will take longer for you to heal?

Yes, I have a drain, I go back on the 9th, so he will take it out then..so a total of 9 days ...i had the band, then the sleeve and now GB this was easier than the band, no port!

I apologize for my late post wishing everyone luck. I didn't realize that it didn't send early this morning so I just hit the button a minute ago. How many days will you be in the hospital? How's the pain? Make sure you walk to help with the gas pains.

      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.
