No pain from the operation. just my bak pain as i was not allowed mypils pre surgery. that was taken care of mmediately. M wonderful nurse tina gave ma a swig of oromorph and I was great. Drinking all afternoon.

I ws ready to leave by 3:30 with full insstructions to keep me going till my fill i 6 weeks.

Hi Debbles,

I was banded July 10th. I'm doing great also. I've walked 1/4 mile last yesterday evening. The only promblem I'm having right now is gas. My stomach is so bloated and it feels full of gas. I'm hoping if I keep walking alot it will finally pass. I'm glad to hear you are doing so well.

      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.
