just home. surgery went well, first for this dr. and for this surgical center. Very awsome. I was only patient all day and night. first rate care. not much pain, just gas. cant have anything chewable and I bought gas x chew tabs. hubby at store looking for liquid and getting rx filled. liquid lortab. Did lortab keep anyone else awake?

Other than gas feel good. first time ever felt swallowing and into stomach. wierd feeling.

liquids for another week, and then appt. on Tues to see if loving to thicker liquids.

Good luck upcoming bandsters. hope your banding happens as well as mine. Thanks for all the advice.

Take me off the May list. Had to cancel d/t ins problems We are summiting for preauthorization First the said we did not have to. Today I was Informed we Dh and myself did not meet the criteria for just covering it. When they say 12 consecutive months they mean the past 12 months. from today backward. With documented proof weighing in at the Dr office on a diet don't count if you were not on a RX for weight loss for the last 12 months. Same with WWetc. what you did in 2001 or 2002 don't count. Soooooo. They said summit it again for peauthorization suggested trying an RX in the mean time. Will take 2-4 months, to get a decision

Yipee - I'm scheduled for May 26th. Of course I just had my initial consult. Now I have to meet with the dietician and my pcp on Friday. Get an EKG, meet with surgeon and get psych eval on Monday. Oops, then remember to go to Ecuador for vacation on Tuesday. And I'm out of town right now.

I love a busy life. And busy I will be when my feet don't kill me anymore, clothes are more comfortable....

      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.
