Well I'm back and I'm banded - I think it went well I've only had gas pain as the problem and that is resolving itself :rolleyes:. Thanks for the support guys - I guess now the hard work begins, I've not felt hungry since the op so I can just hope it stays like that.

Hi Mike, I'm doing fine. I not feeling hungry really - I get the odd feeling of 'head hunger' but it's managable. I'm not feeling like I'm being denied food - I can do anything for a week.

My biggest problem is my port aches and wind/gas, but even that is moving at a decent rate. I'm back to work on Monday and I think I'm going to feel ok by then.

How are you doing, any regrets? Are you on solid food yet?

      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.
