I live in Allen. I'm researching the surgery and would LOVE for a bunch of us to get together.

Hi Julie,

So you've been banded for a couple weeks and still aren't feeling well? I'd like to know more about that if you don't mind sharing. I'm considering the surgery, but would probably have to go back to work full time after a week off. I've heard people say they have gone back right away. Are you having a lot of trouble? I'm still in the nervous stage about this surgery.

I feel great; most people do go back in a week, i have 10 people in my office who have had it done in the past 3 years and went back after 2 weeks; for me being diabetic you heal slower and also it was easier for me to take short term disability so i did it; you willl be great; don't even question it please; do you have any health problems? email me too: jamoorse@comcast.net

      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.
