Good Thursday evenin...fellow bandsters! Wow, does it feel good to say that! Just before I left the hosp, I said to my surgeon, I can't believe there is a band in there! So he pulled up a mobile pc system and showed me my x-rays right on the lap top!

It went reallllly well, by the Grace of God and many prayers...

some pain round the port, was a little in the neck (pain n the neck, hehehe). Here's to hopin that each of the week 2 newly banded and the troop who will be banded on the 12th, have whole, quick recoveries, with a steady surgeons' hands! Have taken some liquid pain reliever, so getting sleepy, look forward to feeling better already and chatting with you all tomorrow! Go FSTOP, Go Just A GIRL, GO GooseFRABA, Go Kerry, Go MJenkins, and all the new bandsterees! Woohoo! Here's to healthy new life beginnings!:wink:

6 a.m. they don't make it easy do they?I guess I'll survive getting up at 5 a.m. ( or probably closer to 5:30). I'll drive myself to the hospital so DH can get the kids off to school. Then he'll go to work and visit me in the afternoon. So, here I go!!

Hi Everyone! I changed my name so it was clearer. Fstop had to do with photography but everyone thought I was a guy for some reason. I am a photographer and definitely a female.

Anyway! I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went well. I walked a bunch at the hospital and was feeling great today but tonight I am feeling a bit poorly. Gas pain on my sides. Of course my belly is feeling a bit bloated as well, but really not all that poorly.

Glad to hear all of the good results of the people how have posted before me. For everyone who is to follow later I hope you have as good a care as I received at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.

Rosey, Goose ---- so glad to hear you are doing well. Hope I continue to not have an appitite for many many weeks :wink: I filled up on a popcicle and 2 ounces of broth today, sadly some of that fill up was probably the gas.

Rest up!

      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.
