Hi Dini! How are ya?

I really haven't had any gas pain at all. Some pain in the shoulders, but pretty much gone today. A little port pain, well controlled with the luquid vicodin. Haven't had any since early this morning. Don't need it much now. I'm really pleased with how I'm feeling and how things are going, especially for an OLD broad like me!!

Chim - that's right sister, you jump around! I'd say stay up all night and have some fun, but really....sleep on your tummy, it will be a while before you're comfortable doing that again! (it doesn't hurt me, just makes me too aware that I'm doing it...therefore, uncomfortable)

Hey, I got some kids for sale....anyone interested?

Don't say that! You're not an old broad! You are a beautiful woman w/just a few years, experience, and wisdom under your belt.

I'm glad the pain hasn't been that bad. I have a very high tolerance for pain, so I'm praying I'll be okay w/this.

Today was my first day back at work since surgery. It wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon, I felt pain where my port is but that's it.

The problem I did have was I got so busy working that I'd forget to drink. 20 - 30 minutes would go by and I'd see my bottle sitting there so then instead of sipping, I'd take a gulp and pay for it with discomfort for a few minutes.

I'm seriously thinking of putting a pop up reminder on my computer every 5 minutes to take a sip of Water. That way I won't forget.

Welcome BostonChic and Gingersnap! Congrats on your banding! How neat is that to have your friend alongside you. This is an awesome group. We're so glad you've joined us. Jump right in.

Auntie Phyll, yes, I will be staying overnight, so I'll be home on Thursday. My hospital room has wireless internet, but I no longer have a laptop.

Mango, yay!!! Glad you're back. Get some rest and talk to us when you're up to it.

Marcy, :) - I can't believe it's here. Wow. It's here. The butterflies have started. BTW, I'm a side sleeper, but I won't be able to do that for a while b/c the port will be on the side I favor!

Go chimmy, it's your BANDDAY, we're gonna party like it's you BANDDAY!!!LOL, I'm sooooo excited for you to finally be getting this done.

Just got back from my first support meeting. I love my Doc. Not bad, but we are combined Band and Bypass patients. There was an excercise person supposed to talk tonight, but she had two sick little ones at home. So it ended up being open discussion. Have I mentioned the fact that I love my Doc, no REALLY. He has got to be the most beautiful creature I have seen, with these piercing blue eyes. MY GOD, and I'm married!!!!!!!!! He's Fu***ing HOT, and I don't cuss, so that's telling you something. OMG, and when I look at him, I get chills up and down my spine, and all I can do is smile. Why does he have to be soooooo gorgeoous, and my age- I'm 8 days older than him. WOW, don't tell my DH, I won't be able to get my fill next week!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome bostonchic and gingersnap!

      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.
