Had my banding April 16th. Things went well!!! My doctor uses skin glue for closing wounds ( less scarring), and the next morning to my surprise, one incision didn't hold!!!

So, Ended up with 6 sutures today!!!! All is well though!!! Alittle sore, but glad it's done. Next step!!!!! Getting to the pureed foods tomorrow!!!!!! :tt1::thumbup::tt2::thumbup:. Best of luck to everyone this April!!!!! Keep us posted!!!!!!

Hi.. congrats! I got mine on the 15th. Yesterday was hard for me, i didn't feel good at all. Today has been much better. I am hungry today and very sick of chicken broth, but doc says stay on Clear Liquids for the entire first week. Good luck, maybe since our dates are so close we can stay in touch with the progress!!

      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.
