Banded on November 21st. They found a hernia during the procedure and repaired it. I am feeling really good. Today is my last day of Clear liquids. I am looking forward to full liquids tomorrow. Since I won't be eating on Thanksgiving, I am certain to take lots of pictures of our family. I am so excited about my future. I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico, and it was a great experience.

:D

Congrats, Oregon Rocks. We were banded on the same day.:) I started full liquids on day three. I only had to stick to clear for forty-eight hours. Funny how different docs have slightly different rules and procedures.

You're on my list, thank you. :D I am in Arizona. Prescott, a largish "small" town north of the Phoenix Metro area. It pretty much sucks, here. The only reason why we stay, husband has a steady job with good benefits. Nothing to sneeze at in this economy! LOL

I am also excited for us both. Sistah Bandstahs. :D

I find myself looking at the clock and calculating whether or not is time to eat again. As far as the food, I'm having 4 shakes and one soup. I actually look forward for my soup since it's the only savory dish that I'm allow to eat. The other day I had the low fat chicken noodle soup from Panera bread, I blended it and it was delish!!

Congratulations! I wish I was in Mexico right now -- it's freezing here in NH! Enjoyed looking through your blog. Great to be able to look back and measure your progress on so many levels -- not just the number on the scale but all those other ways we are changing our lives for the better.

Icy One, we lived in Prescott briefly. My husband refers to it as the time we were abducted by aliens.

Hope every one is doing well. I am three weeks out tomorrow and feeling GREAT! Better than in years.....

I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow (Tues, Nov. 26). Wish me luck! I've never had surgery of any sort before; very new experience. And I hope all you other Nov. people are doing well.

Hi there, I had never spent a night in the hospital before -- guess this was the perfect thing to break my record for because I am so happy to be banded! I'm glad I did a lot of walking. I think that was my body shrugging off the anesthesia and starting the healing process. Also glad I didn't do the prescription medication but that's just me. Good luck to you tomorrow! That is my three week anniversary and I have not felt this good in years. Yes, initial discomfort following surgery but having been in real pain the incisional stuff and even that shoulder pain from the gas felt so temporary and worthwhile. You'll do great!

To ERAOUL,

Good Luck Tomorrow! I was banded on the 14th and I just had to take it easy the 1st day after surgery. Just take it slow, follow Dr's advice and look forward to a new wonderful future!

      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.
