Well, I survived it. :)

I'm in a bit of pain -- the port incision hurts and I have that gas pressure thing going on enough that it's painful. But otherwise things are going well -- sipping my broth, eating Jello, sipping water...

I hope this gas thing goes away soon! Thank goodness for Vicodin. BTW, does Phazyme or Gas-X help at all with this type of gas? Or just the walking around?

Hey y'all! How's your banding going? After taking a year off for an unexpected pregnancy, I'm back to the banded life again! So far, I'm down a total of 65 pounds. I just got a fill and got my port fixed (it had flipped), and I'm fired up to get back in the groove again!

      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.
