Okay guys. I had revision band to leave yesterday. Every thing this far has been amazing! I haven't had a lot pain except by the drain site. From the drivers to Dr Lopez has been all I expected. They all are very nice and speak great English for the most part. I go for the leak test in a little while. Can not wait to get some apple juice! Lol

I had my surgery at Mi Doctor on 04/04/14 by Dr. Cabrera. My experience was good. The difficult part now is trying to figure out what liquids my body can process. Right now my body doesn't like Protein shakes!

I had my surgery last night with Dr Illan. I had an amazing experience. No gas pain and no barfing (my biggest fear). I am being treated so well. I feel like I am on vacation.

      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.
