Hi everyone. I was banded this past Monday the 14th and I am feeling pretty good. The worst pain is the air pocket in my shoulder which comes and goes. I am trying to walk as much as possible and are following the liquid diet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks..:cool2:

Got the SAME issue!! Was banded last week Friday - I don't have any easy answers, but I have heard that walking and stretching can help. I found that if I miss my pain meds or Tylenol, I'm much more aware of the pain. Other than that - I think it's a waiting game - I think it can take up to 2 weeks for the gas to fully work through our bodies. But, you know - in 6 months from now when we're sliding on smaller jeans and thrilled we finally have control over our eating - this current pain will be just a distant memory! Good luck!

I was re-banded on the 14th, too. I don't have the shoulder pain though. I came back to work today and feeling pretty good :-)

I go to the doc for follow up tomorrow. I gotta say I am looking forward to the liquid phase being over!

Take care all!

      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?

      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.
