I am being banded at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia. I still have to go on Tuesday for a chest x-ray and 1 more support group meeting. Then the real countdown will begin. I am not required to do a pre-op diet, but have been trying to watch what I eat. I've been eating lot of yogurt & Soup, but they don't fill me up too much. That's where the band will come in I guess! Good luck to all of the March 14th banders! Best of luck!

Hi Wisshi,

I can say that I'm not really in too much pain. Still taking my pain meds since I have a whole bottle full, might as well. I am starting to feel a litlle more human too! I felt like my whole world was upside down yesterday but getting better today. I hope your pain gets better! Do you start full liquids tomorrow like me? LOL...never thought I would be looking forward to Slimfast & yogurt so much! Best wishes...:(

I had 2 sf Popsicles yesterday. Well one broken into 2 pieces...

1 Protein Shake today and 1/2 sf pudding,

working on some chickenless Soup now...i have never been so empty. my insides are SCREAMING at me, not hungry just loud.

I'm saving the pain med for nights...they have been the hardest.

took a walk (well a shuffle)for about 10 minutes and had to rest.

I had a hiatel hernia repaired too.

Not gonna be back on the desk tomorrow!

maybe Tuesday...

I am feeling better every hour and that's a blessing, cuz if i thought i had to stay like i was yesterday...woo boy....i'd had to have some words wit someone. Good Thing I got a LPN as a bFF! She straightened me right out.

      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.
