Hi everyone....

Well, yesterday I jumped on the band wagon! Everything went fine, in the OR at 8am and home in my bed at 1:30 :biggrin:

I feel ok, just my belly is sore from the stitches and muscle manipulation. Other than that I really don't feel any different yet.

I've been drinking the Special K Protein H20 and eating SF Jello cups, well ate 1 jello cup-took a while. Just finished some nice warm coffee.< /p>

Planning a nap now after a dose of my liquid Lortab.

broth for lunch and dinner I guess.

Take care,

Hello!

I was banded yesterday too. Am pretty sore today - more the gas than the incisions though.

It's an exciting new start for us all! Maybe we can track each other's progress?

Good luck to you both!

xx

      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.
