:thumbup::biggrin:Hi everyone !! I had my surgery yesterday. All went well, and I am feeling great. NO gas pains for me yet. The only time I am sore is when I get up from laying down, or trying to turn over. I had a little upset stomach last night, so now I am keeping that cream for nausea on my wrist. Had a headache this morning, and still feel groggy. Overall, this surgery is a piece of cake. :thumbup:

The great news is I am not hungry at all. Normally this time every morning I am starving. Been sipping out of my grandbabys sippy cup. It works great, allowing me to sip the amount I should and not over sip.

Good Luck to everyone that will be banded this month, you're gonna loveeeeeeeee it!!!

OMG, I have so many questions!

1. Where did you find a sippy cup that didn't have an "outie" that is basically a hard nipple? I've been looking everywhere for the kind that has a lid that sinks into the cup so that it's more like actually drinking from a cup instead.

2. I have to get some of that cream! What is it and where do I get some :thumbup:

Pj...I'm glad everything with well! My big day is tomorrow!

Lanakila-for the kind of cup your looking for, you may want to try the Disney Store or something like that. Or a starbuck coffee cup I've seen small ones.

Thanks for the update. I am 2 weeks away and starting to get nervous and anxious. The sippy cup idea is great. I also got kiddie "sliverware"---much smaller spoon and fork. They work real well. Also, I went to a Goodwill and found some small cakeplates that I already use as my dinner plate. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I'm off to Starbucks right now! I have alot of shake stuff that tastes good, but the Protein smell is just blecky. I hope they have the small one that you mentioned Helen. :thumbup:

The Sippy Cup that I'm using has a spout. It doesn't leak, so I have to suck it out. very small amount which is great.

The cream for nausea was a prescription from the Dr. that and my liquid vicodin.

Ask your Dr. its great !!

Don't be nervous about surgery, nothing to it !!

It's 2:30 pm here, still nothing to eat all day except Isopure, Jello and I'm not hungry at 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?

        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.
