I was banded on Thursday, October 16th, and I really didn't feel close to normal until today. The gas pains are finally gone. The incision near the port is tender, but that is all.

Was banded on 10/21 - back in my hospital room by 10am. Nurses had me up walking by 11am. Everyone I had spoken to had told me to walk and walk and walk. I did, and knock on wood, I have not had gas pains that others have experienced. I am sore on my port side (left) but find getting up and down to be easier and easier........ I am going back to work on Monday and hoping that I will feel even better.

I didn't drink much liquids or Protein on 10/22 when I got home from the hospital. Was able to drink 32 oz of Water and most of my Protein shake during the day. Today 10/24 I have eaten broth (a little) at lunch, sipped on my 42 gram proteim EAS shake during the day and still working on 32 oz of water...........yes, i know it needs to be more Water but I just am still trying to get it down right now.

What has been your worst day since banding (healing process).

      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.
