Good luck to you! Although, I'm sure you don't need it. I had my band placed on the 23rd. I am doing ok, pain about a 3. Went ahead and went to my monthly support meeting (I was bored and hadn't had any pain meds yet, so what the heck) Stopped at a casino on the way home and made $150., but was dragging at about a 5 (on the scale) by the time I got home, so NOW I am appreciating the meds. lol. Been burping alot, but think that is normal with getting rid of the gas.

Let us know how you make out.

Home from hospital today. Feel great no meds, just back pain, I think it is from the gas not passing. All the nurses were great keeping me from vomitting . I got real sick from the anesthesia. I am not hungry yet but am eating my two ounces over the 30 min period, it's hard. also hard getting down the Protein Drink . Milk tetc... thanks for the posts.

      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.
