Hi,

I had surgery at Cedar Sani Hospital in LA,CA

My Doctor was Dr.Cunneen He was Great. But the surgery was much harder then I thought. Whn they got in there they found that I had a Hurnia so the repaired it. So maby thas why I was in so much pain afterwards. I am very excited for the new me.BUT I have not had a ajustment yet. I hope that helps because I am hungery now and I am afraid I will gain the weight I have lost back. I am looking for a friend to talk to about the lap band. So if you wana chat write back and tell me about yourself..

Hey II am Ashley I am 19 and from Alabama! I had surgery the 21st of december..it was also harder than I expected..I was allergic to my pain pills so I did have anything for pain. But I am doing great now down 21lbs so far..so things are good. Don't worry about gaining the weight back just take things one day at a time, watch what ya eat, and exercise and most of all keep yourself busy so there's no temptations to eat. PM me if ya need any support!

      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.
