Hello

Dont panic I had my 1st feel and went back a few weeks later as I couldn't feel anything, and was think "god trust me to be the one this wont work for", I was eating anything and when I say anything I was!!!! I had even put weight on I was gutted.

My surgeon had put in my band 5 (ml cc ??what ever it is) (my band is 14) but I could eat any thing, so he topped me up to 8 and made me go and try some yogurt and Water, My god what a different, he had to take me back in to his room to remove half so now I have had 2 fills am 7.5 and now can tell the band is working.

I was starting to wonder if he had took my money and just drew a few lines on my belly to make me think he had done the op, but like he said puting in that 8ml cc??? and me feeling how tight it was with just Water made me know he had done the job and how the band can work.

Ring your hospital up and go back only you know how you feel.

      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.
