Banded yesterday along with a hernia repair, so I had to spend the night in the hospital. In minimal pain, thankfully. The gas pain in my shoulder comes and goes, but its manageable. I'm guessing my port site is the area on my tummy that is really sore. Have been using a heating pad in that area. I'm glad to be home, in my own bed since I didn't get a lick of rest in the hospital ... I swear the nurses wait outside the door until you fall asleep! So glad to be banded!!!

Feeling almost back to normal. Still sore on my left (port) side, but from what I have read, that's going to take about a month to heal. Already off one of my BP meds too. Ready to get exercising but the hernia repair has me waiting on that. Scheduled for my first fill on the 26th. I'm ready to see what the green zone feels like :)

      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.
