I was banded yesterday, 10/12/09. Surgery went smoothly. They also fixed a hernia, that I didn't even know I had, around my esophagus and stomach. I am a little sore, especially around my shoulders from the gas, but no pain thanks to the disgusting liquid pain meds.

Good luck to the rest of the Oct. bansters getting ready!:thumbup:

That is so wonderful for you! I have only lost 10 pounds but I only did a 48 hr fast pre surgery & I only have 30-40 to lose. I understand it will take longer for me and I'm ok with that.

I'm sad to see my boobs shrink as well but that too was expected so I am thinking of an augmentation next year.

I returned to work 1 week after gurgery and I could tell right away my uniform was not as tight as before. It definetely is a huge motivator!

Can't wait till my 1st fill. Unfortunately it won't be until mid-Nov. since I am going to Europe & I don't want complications abroad...

Good Luck!

We are on our way!!!

BTW: you know you are our big sister since you went Oct 1st, right?

My op is scheduled for 10/20. Looking forward to it but the days and nights are moving too slow. Thankful though, that I was not put on liquid diet by my surgeon. Congrats to all the October Bandsters who have had their ops already. Good Luck to the rest of us.

How are all the new bandsters doing. Had mine on the 13th and doing really well. Only took one percocet on the 13th and that was it. Very little gas pain.

Did not do well drinking yesterday...but today is better...got my first shake down already.

So for those that are waiting...no worries..you will do fine!

I will be thinking of you!

      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.
