Hello All you fellow bandsters. I couldn't stand it pain or no pain I had to get on LBT. So I sit at my computer with a pillow pressed against my stomach and not very comfortable. BUT I'M THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!! I GOT MY BAND!!!

I think the gallbadder surgery went so well it tricked me into thinking this would be a piece of cake.... Man that sounds yummy!!! Just kidding. I'm only sip,sip,sipping on liquids!!!! Any way I've deffenitly had lots more discomfort with the band surgery so far. My stomach muscles feel like I got kicked by a horse about five times. But no nausea/vomiting / no problems with liquid so far. I actually can feel that my band is there. I take a little sip of Water and it feels as though I can tell where my band is and that it is going through it and it sorda bubbles,if you know what I mean.Glad to be home and over the worst part. I do hope tomorrow will be a little less painful.

You guys would have loved to have seen me. I got home from hospital and decided I would go lay in my bed and I could not get out of it. I felt like a beached whale that coudn't get back in the ocean. LOL!!! Finally I was able to get up and it was not tearless. It hurt like hurt never hurt before. Now I will not make that mistake again and I will be sleeping in the recliner tonight!!!!Other than that . I am able to drink about 3-4 oz of Water an hour comfortably and I haven't venchured to any thing else except a little applejuice. Will post more as I feel better. Thank you all for getting me this far and I'm so glad you will all be here for me through the stages to come.

I GOT MY BAND !!!!!(((HUGS TO ALL)))) Formerly Banster wanna be!!! But I'm finally a bandster!!! Yippi!!!!

Congratulations Jamie!

Take it easy for the next few days. I think you'll see that the pain subsides a little more with each passing day. Just don't try to do too much right now, get lots of rest, walk when you can and rely on others to help get you out of chairs and your bed for a couple of days. You're going to do fantastic, you have a great attitude. :)

Jamie - It really does get better every day. :) I slept in the recliner for a couple of days too, it was just easier getting up and down.

Whooooo Hooooo! You made it!

      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.
