Hi

I was also banded on the 29th. I have been blogging my ups and downs.

My first fill isn't until Dec.9th.

Incisions are healing nicely, but still have a bit of port pain if I move too quick.

Me, too - another Oct. 29 bandster here! Just started mushies this week, but don't add tuna until next week. I only have 8 oz of food per day which doesn't sound like a lot (and it isn't) but I'm not really very hungry. My favorite meal right now is a scrambled egg, or egg beaters, with a wedge of laughing cow lite cheese cut up into it, zapped in the microwave for a minute. Very yummy.

Incisions are healed for the most part, though the port area is still tender and I'm careful of it. My first fill is scheduled for 11/23.

Hi,

are any of you starting to see your skin wrinkle a bit more? SIGH!! I am starting to see this mostly in my thighs, but also in my forearm area. I looks like the skin of an 80 year old.

I am hoping this tightens up a bit. I have been rubbing skin firming cream on it constantly.

I also am starting to get vertical lines under my chin.

Am I alone or are you seeing this too...

      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.
