Today is my first day of my two weeks liquid fast, my surgery date is 10/23 too! I am drinking Optifast I purchased from my surgeons office. The already made shakes are good, but a little more expensive. The shake powder is not that yummy. But I will only be doing the Optifast for two weeks, then after that I'll probably go back to my EAS or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

I really like the unjury brand chocolate splendor. It tastes just like a milkshake. I make it w 8oz almond milk and 4 ice cubes. Yum

Ok so I will try injury and see, still waiting on insurance verification but I met all the requrirments so I hope so. I am so happy but nervous about after, I know I can do it but still. It will be nice having people to talk to that are going through it.

So I got approved with insurance, but then the doctor said it is scheduled Tuesday, which can't happen I was told the 23 by thhospital when I did pre-op test. They need to talk but I think my date might move but still on a limited diet and going full liquid next week.

I got banded Monday the 22, went great had a hostel hernia repaired. Today has been hard but hope it gets better pain wise. Having chicken broth but half a can at a time and jello. Please let me know what you are going through.

I was banded oct 22 and had hiatal hernia repair. stayed overnight and went home the next day. Well whoever that gal was who went back to work next day or strolled Walmart after surgery...she was a superhero. I'm in way a lot of pain. Last night I got up to pee and got all sweaty and tunnel vision and had to call my ex who is an ER doctor to come over. Despite sipping all day I was dehydrated. I was up most of the night, too nauseous to take my pain meds I just sipped water, then apple juice, eventually I got hydrated again. I'm feeling a bit better today, but can't manage anything with protein, it all seems too rich and I feel like I would risk throwing up. So I'm sticking w water and juice and taking meds every 4 hours. I know people refer to that's rid when you have no restriction as banister hell, but I am in my own personal bands year hell day 2 post op. everyone says it gets better, so I'm hanging in there. But I'm SO glad I took 2 weeks off. This is rough.

Hi,

I got banded Oct 23 also. Doing pretty good. How about you? I live in Indiana, but would love to chat back n forth, about different NEW things....like this stomach gurggling LOL Hope all is well

4 days banded... still some pain at the incision sites. But I feel hungry! I don't know if this is normal or not. And not to sound gross, but i still haven't gone to the bathroom (number 2) and I'm starting to wonder if this is normal?!?! Any advise...

I was banded Monday and the stomach girrgles have been so loud and I can feel them. I finally went 2 on day three and today was the first day my tummy growled from hunger. I am still on jello nd broth till Monday and then cream soups and more options. Not a lot of weightloss yet but hope it will catch up soon. Still have some pain when I walk to much but a heat pad helps

I got my Iband on Oct 19 2012 and I didn't have it to ruff I went in at 9 am by 2 pm I was on my way back to my hotel also had the hernia repair..
