Ugh! The bowel prep stuff is YUCKY!!! Thank goodness he gave me phenergan to take with it. I have to drink another bottle in 15 minutes.

Thanks for you thoughts...getting down to the hourly count.

Hi - just wanted to check in and say I've done it!! I'm banded as of Sept. 30. The doctor said I was of such short stature that it wasn't easy to band me and I'm really sore yet, full of gas and getting HUNGRY:thumbdown:. I've got 1 more day on clears and then can start on full liquids on Saturday, can't wait. I have to admit to wondering what I did to myself yesterday but today I have a better attitude and can again believe that I did the right thing. Congrats to everyone else who has just been banded also! Simon

Hi All.

I had my surgery on the 30th, too. I feel great. I am back at work today. I know, crazy, but I feel too good to just sit at home. I have a desk job. I hope everyone feels better soon.

Feeling better, went out for a walk today.:thumbup:

Heading back to work tomorrow. I don't feel any restriction and the liquids are not doing the trick, my tummy is growling all the time. (Not only gas!):crying:

I have my first Dr. Visit on Wed.

I just spoke to my surgeon about that. He said that some people get girgling noises that we're saying is growling, from their band. It's food slipping thru and some air with it. Sounds strange to me, but we'll get used to it he said.

      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.
