I'm banded!!!! Made it through surgery like a champ- just lots is soreness. Somehow have no gas pains-thank goodness! Darn that belly button incision gets to me when getting up I think from my belly weight :/ Any suggestions on ways to get up from bed? Thanks!!!

Yippee! For me the walking really, really helped -- I compared the discomfort to something I really hate: dentistry. To this day I'd rather have LB surgery than a crown, lol. And now I'm 70+ pounds thinner -- talk about worth it! (One crown, one cavity, one LapBand, zero gallbladder, and, oh, a hernia repair).

Congrats ! I held a pillow against my stomach and laid on my side and kind of rolled off the bed until it felt better.

Thanks for the advice! It's been 3 days..still gave soreness but nothing remotely close to the day after. I still need help doing things and getting in and out of bed is a chore to say the least! Now I just feel like I'm starving 24/7, horrible headache, am over the broth and jello! Moist and mushy can't come soon enough-Uggghhhhh

      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.
