I'm two weeks post op and don't regret a thing about my labpand. This is the best thing I could ever have done for myself. Can I get a bump!?

I agree--I think getting my band was by far one of the best things I ever did for just me---I only wish I had done it years ago!

Better late than never tho!!!

I had surgery 5 days ago and except for the post-op gassyness - which lasted about 2 days, I had very little (if any)pain. Had surgery on Thursday, back to work on Monday. My stomach rumbles quite a bit, but nothing painful.:clap2:

Congrats Disiree....those words are music to my ears. I'm not banded yet, so I need all the raves about it I can get.

Yes I agree D.

I finally feel that my yo-yoing is gone for good.

I do miss the volume of food . I miss the buzz I would get from overeating.

I get my buzz from my daily exercise now. I truly believe that I HAD to switch to another addiction. Thank goodness it is exercise not booze for example.

Hopefully not everyone has to do this. I did.

I couldn't agree with you any more. I was banded March 6th and I'm so happy with the results so far. I still can't get over the fact that I'm truly full after eating such small amounts of food. I can't wait for the rest of my new life with my band.

      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.
