I got home yesterday and I feel like hell. I know I'm not going to feel this way too long. I'm having a terrible time keeping liquids down. Since I'm not feeling all that well, I'm going to go. I just wanted to let everyone know that I made it ok and when I'm feeling a bit better, I'll let you all know a little more.

I am so sorry you are having a rough time. I bet you just need some good ol' fashioned rest and you will feel much better in the coming days! I hope your recovery is speedy. Welcome to Band land! I know it isn't all peaches and cream right now but after awhile you will be so glad you did this I am sure!

Val, Congratulations on your new band... each day gets better, as the swelling goes down, the liquids will go down easier. Hope you feel better soon. Hang in there :)

Thanks you guys. I still can't keep anything down, but the pain isn't all that bad anymore. I know it'll get better. I already feel a lot better than I did a couple of days ago. I just wish I could keep things down. I'm trying to get plenty rest and walk around the house as much as possible. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted with the lastest.

      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.
