Well....I called the clinic today as it is one week and still cannot burp.:sick I get a lot of pain in my chest.:cry It is also hard to get down liquid everything is sipping even Water. I talked to the nurse who advised me that I had about 2 cc's in my band from the surgery and we can take out the liquid. Hopefully this will cause some releif.:wacko: I will let you all know how that goes.

Sorry to hear that Sweet - hopefully the defill will give you time for your stomach to heal and then you can start over in a few weeks. Hang in there.

I am doing really good! I was super sore the first two days, especially getting in and out of bed...ouch! That is still the worst...that and the gas pain.

I really like Dr. Cobourn and the staff at the clinic. I was hoping to see Michee online, because she had surgery the same day as me.

This is something interesting. In the recovery room the girl after me was thrashing around on her bed she was totally freaking me out, it hurt like a son-of-a-gun to get up and into the wheel-chair. I keep thinking about that girl and her stitches and band. The staff was cracking me up. "Dear, please stop doing that". It's now day 3 and I am up and about, and feeling good. I never though I would say this, but I was so happy to have my opti-fast this morning, I was so hungry.

I didn't mean to hijack your thread Sweet! I am glad you are feeling better. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

      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.
