Hello everyone:) I was banded on April 6th and had a hard first 2 weeks but now that I'm on my way to recovery I feel like I made the only choice I could.:rolleyes2: I started my mushie stage and that is making me feel even better with something other than liquids in me:tongue:. I am excited to begin this new way of life and never look back for my kids and for me:biggrin: I really have enjoyed this forum because during the tough times it is so nice to come on here and know that u are not the only one going through the same issues, it really has helped me.

Congrats on your surgery and on getting to mushies!!

You've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Also, not sure if you know but there's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time.

hey mommyofthree bandster sister! I was banded on April 6th and I was told 4 days of clear liquid, then 2 weeks of full liquods... can't wait for the puree in a week. Glad to know someone else who was banded on the same day!

Really glad I did it. I feel there is a very real possibility of freedom from food. I have been reading a great book called "eating the moment" I highly recomend it!

      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.
