I was just wondering how long you had someone with you after surgery? I'm a stay at home mom to 4 children (3 are in school), I just don't know how much time my dh should take off of work? Thanks!

I was banded on 01.15 ( 11 days ago). I had someone watching my 15 month old during the week (9-5) until yesterday. I'm still tired, but can handle it now. I stay at home with him too.

I have 3 children (2 being school age) and I was banded on 1/16. My husband only took 2 days off because of stuff going on at work but I wished that he would of taken a full week off because I definatly could of used the help. I am on day 11 and just now feeling better but I think I would of felt a lot better sooner if I had more help. My older children help with my 2 year old pretty well but it would have been a lot easier if I didn't have to worry about any of them at all.

      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?

      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.
