Congratulations, Jennifer! Did your band surgeon give you written instructions of what to eat and what to expect with your band? If you do a "search" (at top of the page),you should be able to find several suggestions of food ideas. But you really need to check w/your dr. for his/her specific rules to be sure.

Please "search" for a variety of band issues so you'll have an idea what to expect. Best of luck to you!

PB means "productive burp" -- a lot like baby spitup --undigested food that gets trapped and comes back up (like vomiting). It's usually caused from eating too quickly and/or taking too big a bite. A bite should be no larger than the eraser at the end of a pencil. Pbing can also be caused from being filled too tightly (and that is usually relieved by a slight unfill.)

      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.
