Hi Becca,

Thanks for sending us the clip. I don't know it looks kinda scary to me. I hope it's a long time before I need a fill. I am so sore now the thought of it makes me want to run and hide. Enjoyed Monday nite can't wait for next the second Monday in September.

Hi galati25. I know what you mean. That film scared the britches off of me. Made me decide NEVER to have a fill. I hope it looked worse than it is. Ugh..scary.

Welcome to Bandster Heaven Pammycakes!! SchexyMomma, we had our surgery around the same time - be fun to get together and swap stories of the adventure so far - Nancy, see that tickers moving right along - congrats!

Becca - thanks so much for posting the fill video - I was just saying that it looks scarier than it really is - but I'm just really squeamish around needles - always have been. But, the fill never hurt, it's more in my mind than anything else.

Sorry I sent off my post before I was finished. I want to say congratulations on your banding and I hope you are feeling well. The first few days are a little shakey (I am 9 days banded today) but it's up hill from there.

Thanks Munchkin. I am doing pretty good. Just a little sore and feeling a bit weak but feeling better today than I did yesterday. Getting use to what I can eat. I was able to start mushies today.

I am going to try to make it to the next meeting. Make my way across traffic taking my life into my own hands. lol I look forward to meeting with some fellow bandsters.

      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.
