Hi Renee,

I was banded on 10-21-08 at NYU. First 3 days were very painful, but i am getting better. Taking short walks. I drink clear broth, Slimfast thined with skim milk, herbal teas, but not really much. Cannot wait when I will feel fully recovered! Going for a check up on Wednesday.

I was banded 10-24 in KY It still hurts under my left breast like a ______

I am not or do not seem to be having gas problems. I just want to know when it will quit hurting. I have been Clear Liquids now for 3 days Tomorrow cream Soups thinned down of course, but a flavor and warm will be good. This board has helped so much the last few months. Kathy

      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.
