hi everyone,

just wanted to let you all know that I have been banded. Had my surg yesterday in mx. Dr. Alvarez and his staff were so great. I wen alone, and everyone was so welcoming from the driver (rosy) the wonderful nurses that took great care of me. Dr. A (very cute by the way) the hotels I stayed at were awsome. I am at one now. I leave tomorrow. I have very little pain, only gas pressure. I even went to Walmart, target, and tj max today and walked for about 2 hrs. Getting up out of bet can be a little interesting. But I gt it done. For some rason i feel like a new person already. I have had no nausea or vommiting. Just very windy (he he) I am so ready to see my famil. I miss them so much. Good luck to the rest of you guys I know you will do great!

Congrats! I am glad you are doing so well.

I am wondering the same thing about the Water. I am a gulper so I am going to have to learn to take small sips.

      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.
