I was banded on 5/19 as well. Went for my 1 week post op and everything seems to be going well. Immediately after surgery, I gained back 5 pounds of the 20 pounds I lost during the 2 week liquids prior to surgery. Today, when they weighed me, I lost the 5 pounds gained post-op and another 9 pounds. So far, down 29 pounds from start of 2 week liquids. You are a bit more fortunate than I as I have 3 more weeks of full liquids until I am allowed "mushies". Good luck to you!!

Hello May 19th band friends! I also had mine done on the 19th. I don't go in until a 2 week check-up. I can't believe how much you both have lost. I don't own a scale in my house so I have no idea how much I have lost.

I have to just keep saying that anything I've done is better than nothing or gaining!

I was banded May 19 also. I have been having feelings like I am going to burp or urp or something. I keep fighting it. I am wondering if the yogurt was getting to me. I haven't ate any today and have only had this a little. I am so afraid of messing up my surgery. Anyone having anything like this?

I was having similar feelings, but most have already subsided. I think that much of the surgical swelling has gone down and I am now able to eat a little more without getting the intense tightness. Hopefully, I will not get too hungry prior to my first fill on 7/1. How are the other 5/19 folks doing?

I have already had some of the lite cream Soups which I tolerated well. I also had a small piece of sword fish last night (Approx. 3 oz) and some crackers and applesauce this morning. So far, so good. I also had some V8 juice yesterday and it wnet down without any proble. I will say, I did feel the fullness of the band last night and stopped eating. Be sure to chew thoroughly and eat slowly with whatever you consume and you will become familiar with the "full" feeling. Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
