I was very hungry the first few days, but I'm ok now. I'm eating broth, jello, applesauce and water mostly. Sometimes I have crystal light or special k20 for proteine. Haven't had any baby food, doesnt sound good to me. I start full liquids in a few days so I'm looking forward to my slim fast. wow that sounds weird. lol

What all are you eating? I've found myself pretty hungry, I need more than popsicles and juice. I've had some instant mashed potatoes (super runny though) and some plain old cream of wheat, they fill me up better and don't hurt my tummy. And of course baby food.

That's Great!! Keep up the good work! I lost 5 on the pre-op and 5 since surgery, and 12 during the 6 months doctor supervised diet for a total of 22. Can't wait til it starts coming off faster.

I'm doing pretty good. I only have pain from having the hiatal hernia fixed, I go back to work tomorrow. Lost 12 lbs so far, since I started my pre-op diet on the 14th

How are you doing since surgery? I'm still sore but not too bad. have already lost 5 pounds!

Nausea 2 days post op.

Thanks for the ginger tip -- I am currently wearing a patch behind my ear from surgery I'm sure it's worn out now but I'll pick some more up.. May have to call the doc -
About every hour (almost exactly to the hour) I get real bad nausea. It will even wake me up because it happens while I'm sleeping too. All I've been having is unsweetened iced tea, sugarfree pudding/jello, and sugar free apple juice. I'm taking a disolvable tab by my mouth for nausea as well as suppositories. Not sure what else I can do?? Should I just vomit and get it over with or keep fighting it - been trying hard not to vomit (havn't vomitted yet). Thanks for any tips or advice.

Any July 2011 Bandsters?

I get banded tomorrow at 11:00am AZ time. I am so scared. I have to work until 9:00pm tonight and hopefully that will distract me. Never been under full anasthesia before, I am really a nervous wreck! I just want it to be over. I broke my foot last week and lo and behold Aunt Flo came to visit today... man, stressing out. -

Thanks everyone for encouraging words. I am going through with the procedure as planned - if I lose my job over it I'll probably go look for a lawyer because I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Worst case scenario I will find another job. I'm great at what I do, I'm not worried about it. I'm already a happy person, and outgoing and very goofy -- add on top of it the added happiness and self esteem boost of finally losing weight and I'm sure I'll find one in a week or two. -

Starting my pre-op diet on the 14th, 2 weeks before surgery on the 28th. I'm starting to get super excited! I am already planning my work outs once I get to a weight that my knees don't hurt after working all day (I am a hair stylist). My friend's boyfriend trains professional fighters, he's going to help me pick a good protein shake supplement to use for my diet based on the criteria the doctors gave me. I have run into one problem though -- I have been told that when I take 7 days off of work for surgery and recovery, I may not have my job anymore. A bit upset about this - but I'm not willing to put my health on the backburner for a job. No thanks. Good riddance, imo
