Congrats! Glad you're doing well.

Does your Dr allow Ibuprofen? Mine is against it for all bariatric patients as it's hard on stomachs and pouches.

I know, weird, right? But yes, surgeon is all about ibuprofen being just fine. I had it in my IV drip with saline -- did not want narcotics. And I'm taking some at home post-op along with Tylenol but hardly doing that now on day 3 (had some at dawn, none all day). NSAIDS are notoriously hard on stomach, intestinal track, etc. _ I want to avoid all drugs if possible. Can't wait to get off my BP medicine!

Congratulations! I am glad you had a good experience at the hospital. It is wonderful that you have such good support from your husband. One day - not sure when, I am hoping to be able to say "I been banded".

      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.
