Congrats to the recent bsndsters! I'm so glad that everything went well for you all.

I am doing my pre op diet and making lists and preparing. I have a lot of shopping to do. Which is fine... I like to shop. :)

Hello all.. 2 days post surgery and I'm feeling pretty good.. One more day of clears and then on to full liquids for 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to a Protein shake..lol never thought I'd be saying that!. Still have some gas but gas-x seems to be working fine.. Minimal discomfort where the insiicions are..I have nothing in my band yet but I am not hungry at all. Gained 8 lbs in the hospital, I guess from the iv but I lost 5 yesterday..I hear that's pretty normal though.. I'll keep you all posted on my progress and you please do the same...this is a new chapter in our lives! I'm ready

I wish I could get my surgery(nov14) moved up also! The person that submits and schedules is out until Wednesday. I am going to try and get mine moved up also!

Same here only a select few know about the surgery everyone else will be under the impression I'm having a hernia repair :)

Surgery in two days. A little nervous but more excited than anything. Can't wait !!!

      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.
