I am offically a member of the bandsters! :(

I am so glad to be on the other side.

I had surgery on the 6th at 10:30 and was home by 5:00.

It was pretty uneventful!:thumbup:

I am doing good, just the port pain and gas between the shoulders. :(

I am walking about every 30 minutes and not taking the pain meds. They gave me Lortab and it has codine in it:huh2: (I told them it made me sick) so I decided I would just go with liquid Tylenol and it works fine. :Dancing_wub:

I am sipping every 30 minutes or so and had about 3 oz of protien bullet.:thumbup:

I have a little sf Jello and hot tea to fill in.

Congrats to all you others that are banded and can't wait to hear from all of you!:thumbup:

Cathy,

So glad to hear you are doing well, you have really been upbeat and encouraging to your fellow Jazzy Junes! I know I have really appreciated it. Now, do you think you could just come hold my hand in the OR on Monday?:) I can't wait to be on the loser bench with you!

      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.
