Hi, and welcome. Come join the May 2007 bandsters group. We've all had the surgery (or will have it) in May!

Hi and welcome! Wow, probably by this time tomorrow you will be an official bandster, congratulations! Make sure you take it easy afterwards and let everyone wait on you. Remember, this is considered major surgery and you need to rest and heal. Don't forget, the first six weeks or so are for healing, not dieting. You probably won't see significant weight loss until after you get your first couple of fills.

Good luck tomorrow. As soon as you feel up to it, check in and let us know how everything went. We will be thinking about you!

Everything went great yesterday and I feel really well today! I got out last night and I'm thrilled to be recovering at home!

I found some very yummy high protien liquid recipes and I and I'm love with sugar free popsicles!

Banded x 24hours and going strong!

I have weird leg cramps though. Any else had something of the like? I was told to walk a lot right away, but maybe I over did it?

I am predisposed to flipping out over stuff like this, is this typical.. <--- that would be aimed at the old pros...

Feeling better now, called the Dr. and they have not called me back. But I think it's all good now. No really bad signs of blood clots or anything. I am actually a medical professional myself, but my expertise is pregnancy so I'm trying to not diagnose myself as I am not qualified! lol:)

      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.
