I was banded on Wed the 21st and came home on Thurs., but just didn't have the energy to get on the computer! I am recovering nicely, but just so darn tired with the lack of calories. How's everyone else doing? Tori--how are you???

Glad to hear you are doing well! When do you get to move to full liquid? Hopefully that will give you some more energy then.

Congratulations!!! So happy to hear everything went well for you!! I agree that you should give it a few days to let the anesthesia wear off. It took me about 3 days until I felt like it was out of my system. And don't forget- you still had surgery, you won't feel back to normal for a little bit. But every day you will feel a little better. Keep us posted as to how you are doing.

You're doing good! I was banded 08-04-09 and came home feeling tired and sleepy. I would move around a while, and nap a while. It's nice to know that others here went through the same stage as I, so it sounds like a normal stage. As the others have said, give it a few days and you'll feel stronger every passing day.src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wz7PEQQ/weight.png" border="0" alt="" />

I am doing ok~! I think I am ready for mushies. ALthough we are allowed to have creamy lowfat Soups, cottage cheese ( i have never eaten that before) etc. I am tired of the shakes and sugary taste to them. I like more salty foods. I did grind up a small soft boiled egg almost like a deviled egg and i ate it fine. I shouldnt do this for 3 more days but wanted something different. I am losing about 2 lbs a day and i am only drinking about 1 shake a day so i felt like i needed something. i know i know bad me !!! How are you doing?

      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.
