I'm home after my surgery. Everything went fine and dandy. I actually have the Realize band and I had the "single" insision. The only trouble I"m having right now is that I'm really nauseous. But hopefully that will go away soon!

Congrats! I really had problems with nausea in the beginning also. I found out I had stomach flu and then I still had nausea for about a week after. It finally went away and it felt so good to be human again. Good Luck!

Congrats! I had problems with nausea too, the doctors said it was from the anesthesia. I think they were right because it went away in the first day post-op. Anyway, hope you heal up well!

YAY ! SARAH ! Welcome to the band wagon !! the nausea was also really bad for me. Get the motion sickness wrist bands at your local pharmacy, they actually work !! Or you can also have your primary call you in a prescription for Zofran, liquid or rapid melts, they also worked wonders for me !!!

Thanks guys! I'm actually feeling better. I wonder if the gas was making me feel nauseous instead of actually being nauseous if that makes any sense. I feel like I have a lot of pressure around my sternum.

YAY! I'm so excited to join the Band wagon!!

Congrats Sarah - the gas is giving me a lot of pain/pressure around the sternum as well. Hope you are feeling well.

      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.
