Banded on Thursday and so far so good. I going to go to the mall with the wife and get some walking in. Not too much, but I can't sit still any longer. I've also pretty much stopped the Hydrocodone (I'll probably use some tonight to help me be able to sleep).

But I do have a question for you band-veterans. I keep getting this feeling in my throat/top-middle-of-my-chest like I need to burp, but nothing will come up. Is this normal? If so, what in the world is it?

To DWRD and Watcher, hang in there guys. Its really not that bad. I think the worst part of the surgery day was right after the surgery and they wouldn't give me but four ounces of ice chips. Thankfully I was still kinda sleepy so I slept most of the post-op time.

      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.
