Hi everyone! Just joined the group today. I hope everyone is recovering well with very little pain. I was banded 12/18 so I'm still on liquids............not hungry yet, but I heard that happens around day 10. OK gotta get moving...........need to "walk it out" and many of you know just what I'm talking about - lol!!!

hi luckyjyn, I was banded a day after you. I started to get a little hungry already but the carnation instant breakfasts sure help. I go to my doctor next friday so I should be able to start my puree'd foods then. I can also have cream Soups strained and broth of course and other thick liquids. Im down 22 lbs now and very excited about that. I start the gym on monday for the treadmill ...

glad you joined us ..

Welcome to the group luckyjyn! Congrats on your banding. I was banded on the 5th and doing great. I really was suprised about how little pain I had at all. I am released from light lifting now and am ready to take on the world. LOL - ok well maybe not the world but still gotta love how this feels.

Hi everyone, Just got banded December 30th: Happy New Year and Happy new me!

I'm feeling real good today, and returned to my normal activity. I look forward to a great year, and appreciate the support:tongue:!

Now, gotta get rid of all of the holiday goodies! I'm not tempted, but I think it would be good for my whole family to start anew!

      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.
