Hi everyone, I came home from NYU yesterday after being banded monday.All went well. I of course have some of the usual symptons of nausea, slight fever, and light swelling and sores but not bad at all. Overall I'm doing well. Dr. George Fielding was great, the cuts are very small and not even black and blue. He also fixed my reflux which I already appreciate because normally I would have indigestion from the liquids only diet. The worst part is the nausea which hopefully will go away in a day or so.I keep thinking about this great journey I've just started. WOW!!

I feel so remiss at not posting to this site since a couple of days after my surgery 5/5/2005. I have lost 104 pounds as of today. I feel great and look even better. What a new lease on life! Dr. Fielding is the best! The only time I have problems is when I try to test the limit. If I stick to what agrees with me and don't eat too close to bedtime, I'm just fine. Thanks to all for the encouragement and best wishes to all.

Congrads to you. Some people fly through the surgery like a dentist visit, and it sounds like you might be one of them. Take it easy, be good to your band, and keep us updated on your 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.
