Banded June 3rd! Delayed about 1 week due to the band restriction right from the start. Had too much swelling post op and couldn't keep any liquids down. Hospitalized for 3 nights and 3 days on IV for dehydration and steroids for inflammation. Came home June 9 to start Clear Liquids again. Had my 1 week post op appt today and they said I can move to full liquids and then maybe by Monday I can finally start soft foods-mushies. I gained about 11 lbs since day of surgery from the IV fluids, I am super swollen everywhere.

Anyway, I am good to go now and over that road block. Looking forward to eating/living with the band.

Welcome to all Juners!

Hey plopez,

I see your Dr. is Esquivel. That's mine too. I have the surgery in August. How did you like him?

Hey GBB

Are you going through True Results?

I liked the Dr. But wished I seen him more.

You deal with others until about a week before..then a group meeting with the Dr and others having surgery . I actual liked this because other people may have questions that you haven't thought.

Went to San Antonio for lapband. Dr was great and staff. They paid for the stay at a nice hotel and gave us a 50$ gas card. Everything they said to me about pricing and everything never changed. I go Monday for my first fill. I'm happy with my decision and happy I chose True Results.

Keep in touch.

      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.
