CORRECTION: BAND SIZES! HI everyone! I am newly banded and 3 weeks post-op. I am curious to know everyone's band size. I asked my doctor what size band I have and he said I have one the smaller bands at 7.5. I looked online and I haven't seen anything about this size of band available. I always see the 10 or 14cc bands for Allergan.

I have never heard of a 7.5 band either. I have the 10cc from Allergan.

Mine also is 10cc. Did you get any type of card to carry with you or a form to register with the maker of your band? That should have the band info on it.

My doctor never gave me anything. Maybe I should request my medical records and see what It says in there. Thanks everyone! I didn't think there was a 7.5cc band. Not sure why he told me that.

      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.
