I have been banded for less than 24 hours and I'm feeling great! I'm a little sore, but that's it. I've had sort of a restless night and a lot of tossing back and forth from one side to another, but besides that everything is great. I haven't felt sick and I'm looking forward to going on a 30 mins walk this morning. I am worried that eventually I will start to feel hungry and want to eat. Maybe not...but I guess I just have to take it one day at a time.

Glad to hear you are going okay Lauren. My experience too has been fine so far, though sleep will just not come for me now - hence on computer at 4.15 am in South Australia. I have a little discomfort in the abdomen area but not enough to take the painkillers that make me feel like I am only half in attendance!! Hope keep going well.

      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.
