Hello, I was banded and had my gallbladder out in 8/5/09. Everything went well, I've had minimal pain but thought it would be nice to have my husband (very supportive) hang out with me this weekend. Well my MIL picks this weekend-she knows about the sugery and was supportive- to insist that my husband come and clear out the shop (they have in there barn). This wouldn't normally bother me, but she and my FIL also pulled something similar when - had pneumonia a year ago. I needed my husband to watch my son then. I told my husband all of this and after leaving me alone to go there yesterday, he is here with me today. I think my MIL can't handle that she is not the #1 lady in my husbands life- she quite the drama queen. (Lots of stories). Any way just wanted to vent! Man she bugs me sometimes!

I had my surgery the same day you did. Arent you feeling a lot better yet? I would think you could be up up and around a little more now. Maybe have him take your kid with him when he goes. Then that would give you time to yourself... Makes sence to me~ Do they have, and your husband have other time off at the same time to do this project? Maybe this is the only time to do it. Shoot, my husband had to go to work on Friday. I survived it pretty good. I have two little ones!:lol: Hang in there.. it will be OK:thumbup:

      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.
