hi lellow, so glad yours went well, did you have an incision very high up? as this is the one that is bruised. my port site is not hurting at all and i only had gas pains for aout half an hour 2 nights ago (in my stomach) the shoulder ones lasted about 2 days on and off. when did you weigh yourself? my next job after posting this is to update my ticker. do you feel virtually normal now, or not quite?

Has anyone had any trouble going up and down stairs after their surgery, that is one of biggest concerns. I just want to be prepared.

Yesterday I went to the hospital and pre-registered. It is real - the time is close. I had blood work EKG, Chest X-ray. Talk to my doctor and he said I was going to do great. I sure do have some wierd thoughts right now like regret or "what am I doing"!! but I will stay the course. My doctor put me on a 800 calorie diet high in Protein. With a big enphasis on sticking to Protein Shakes. I did eat some fish, and pudding but back to the protein shakes today. 5 more days. I have lost some weight but can't seem to change the ticker. This site has gotten quiet. I can tell the surgeries are starting. Hope all is doing well and can't wait to hear more from anyone who is just banded and how they feel and the experience they went through at the hospital. In detail would be great. Might make me quit worrying. :thumbup:

Oh yeah, I'm nervous.

Right after the pre-op visit and into the first weekend of the pre-op diet I worried if I had made a good choice. Now 6 days away from surgery, I know this is what I need to do, the worry is gone and now just excitement.

      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.
