The surgery went well last thing I remember before I was knocked out was my surgeon and my anesthesiologist were arguing over what type of music to play Klove my choice or rock the anesthesiologist choice I never found out till recovery they play Christmas music lol I don't even remember being drowsy. They said I did really well with it and it took the minimum time 45 mins they had a little scare when I woke up I couldn't swallow and it turned out was from the numbing solution they used for the breathing tube. Went away fairly fast. We had I problem because I was kicked out before I was ready my surgeon is not happy about that and looking into that. So now I'm home and sore and the gas the injected for the surgery really hurts so I'm going to take the Lortab elixir they gave me a conk out for a while.

Yey..the journey begins here. I was banded 10 days ago. It's tough to begin with but it does get easier :-)

Princess Leah, hope you're doing well! I'm on day 16 so we are all together on this journey. Best wishes to you!

      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.
