Hello, Checking in to see how the Oct 6th banders are doing? I did well and just got home last night. I stayed overnight as all of our WLS patients do. I am sore as crazy, but it's getting better each day. I can't wait for all this pain to go away. I am not hungry, but have had a few sips of chicken broth, Protein Drink and a popsicle. I had to drink 3 medium sized cups of Water and applejuice before I left hospital!!! Wow. I was a little depressed day of surgery, but it was all the meds I was on...Now, I'm in great mood, just taking it easy and trying to walk around and take breathing exercises in that thing. LOL It was a great experience, but the nurses call was really slow or a no show..I wasn't too happy yesterday with the hospital's room service with some. Others were great...Nice hosptial room of my own!!!!

I would say, just listen to what you have to do is the most important thing one day at a time..I'm happy to get it done.

Congrats to all oct. banders past few days and good luck to rest of this week. I will do my best to hang around here for yrs to come as part of my support grp..It was awesome to hear from last year's October banders. I will do same next year as part of my 1 yr celebration- cheer on.

      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.
