So far it was much easier than expected! After I had band in 2009 I had horrific gas pains for hours post op and port site with band felt like I had been stabbed. Today I was pretty specific about my gas from past () and asked politely if they spend extra minute to remove as much as possible at end of surgery. Anyway, it was not too bad at all! Surgery took only 1 hour and I spent 2 hours in Post op. They brought me to my room and I got up right away to use bathroom. Since then I've walked 4 times and gotten 1 dose of pain meds. I've drank warm chicken broth, Jello and water! No nausea!! Only 1 dose of pain meds since leaving recovery! Wearing an abdominal binder which is very helpful. Hope to go home tomorrow! Hope this helps a pre-opper?!

      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.
