I was banded 5 days ago and have been on an emotional roller coaster today. The discomfort is horrible, I am sure it is gas, but it is only in the left side of my abdomen. UGH, what have I done to myself? I keep trying to think positive but man it is hard when my family gets to eat what they want. I love food, I just don't know if I can make it. Feeling myself again would be wonderful compared to how I am feeling now.

I had my surgery on Friday and was back in class on Tuesday and I felt WONDERFUL! I guess I'm either really lucky...or too hardheaded to know I didn't feel good. :ohmy:

I wanted the band SO MUCH...and had already had 1 surgery just under 3 weeks before and didn't get it, so I felt marvelous once I had 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.
