Awesome! Glad to hear it went well and you sound so excited! I felt relief with the tummy growling also. No more 'stuffed' misery. YAY for us! Drink, drink, drink, walk, walk, walk! Let us know how you are doing!

good for you! Thanks for the updates. I know you skipped a bit about de la Garza when that Dwayne B. guy posted his terrible experience story, who wouldn't? and I am relieved that it went better than expected. Good for you! Way to go, girl!

Hello Tarafeena,

Congratulations and WELCOME to BANDLAND! Glad it all went smoothly and you made it home safely. Now... Take it easy and have a good recovery. Ask... whenever you have a question about anything, etc. My tummy definitely made some new noices after surgery too. Best wishes, Teresa

      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.
