I was banded on 4-12-11. I had to do a 3 week liquid diet I was 80% true to the liquid diet. I was also freaking out as well. I never ate anything but meat, bread and tators. I have lost 41lbs in the last 4 weeks. Dont look back just look at the out come in 12 months. I have always had the the little saying ( You have to give a little to get a little) I took it I would rather have a little extra skin and be healthy than not to be. Im still alittle sore but nothing to bad. I feel it is going to be the best thing I have ever done for my self. Keep your head up its not that bad. But everyone is different. BG

I was banded on the 12th as well. I have not had any gas pains yet. But When I got home for the Hospital I took a 1.5 hour nap. Then I got up and walked 3/4 of a mile. I do have some pains around where my port is but nothing to bad. But I will tell you it hurts bad when I cough. I have lost 3.5 lbs since tuesday the 12th. I have been drinking water and Jello, and Protein shots. I went back to work today I feel great. BG

I was banded yesterday I had a cough and a cold. My dr said as long as I wasnt running fever it would be OK. I feel fine today.

Im gonna have my LB done on the 12th. I get to start my liquid diet on Wednesday for 3 weeks. WHOA what a change. Here we go on this train.

How did you do this. Have you already had your LB. Would you do it all over again.

Well that may be why because my BMI is 50. Well I recieve my insurance paper today and I guess I will have to atart my Diet next week.

Has anyone ever had to do a 3 week liquid diet. My Dr. told me that I was gonna have to do this before he would do my LB. I have heard of a 2 week but not a 3 week liquid diet. I just got approved in my insurance. So I dont know what to expect.
