Thank you for correcting my spelling..lol. I was still a little druged yesterday when I wrote that... I am in a little pain today, but nothing compaired to my other surgery. I am happy with the out come and cant wiat for my first fill in 6 weeks!

For me personally I can blend any soup, ect and as long as it goes through a strainer I can have it and I had surgery yesterday. I am trying to stick with jello, water and ice just because it seems to sit easier. in the second week I get soft mushy foods. I would ask your dr his specific reason for this diet he has you on after the fact. It seems like everyone is different and dr's have their reasons for the diet they put you on. Good Luck!! Just remember what your goal is and how much further ahead you will be than the rest of us...lol Its not easy but it will all be worth it in the end. Oh and dont be afraid to ask your dr questions....that is what he is there for.

I am officially banded!!!! I am so excited I could shot it from the roof top!! I am already down 11 lbs since I started the liquid diet! I will touch base with u guys tomorrow. Feeling good!

Plication? is that where they take the stomach and place it over the band on one side to hold it in place? If so mine is doing that as well. I am glad because I was so nervous about slipage. Congrants on being on the other side. I have my surgery this morning! Excited and Nervous are the only 2 words to describe me this morning. lol have a wonderful day everyone! I will up date everyone as soon as I can.

Oh my that is not nice at all. My spouse went and ate dinner out 3 times this week (even though we really could not afford it) and ate things at home that I would normally hate to eat. Shame on him. He needs to be supportive! I know your probably checking in about now, so Good Luck!! I know you will do great!

Are you also keeping track of your inches? With that much exercising, and not eating enough calories your body could be in starvation mode, OR you are gaining muscle and losing fat, you just dont see it on the scale. Check with your doctor, or nutritionist. Dont worry you will get it all figured out. Good LUCK!!

I just wanted to introduce my self. I am Sophia and my surgery date is set for the 24th, I am excited nervous and scared , but I know in the end it will all be worth it. I am on the liquid pre op diet right now and I am having the hardest time. I have to tell my brain and mouth NO! a lot. Is any one else going through the pre op diet as well, any advise for those who have already gone through it? I keep telling my self 4 more days and then my brain says nope, its a few more weeks... lol!

I love your enthusiasum!!!! I am so excited and a little scared mine is FRIDAY!!! But i am ready for a change....on the diet this week and am down 7lbs!! Good luck!

LOL So TRUE!!!

I am a Feb Banster as well.... I am doing mine on friday the 24th!! i am so excited and nervous!! Hello to every one on here and Good Luck! I look forward to following all of you on your journey and pics.

I had to do mine for 3 months and it really is not a big deal, at least it wasnt for me. Just make sure you keep your appts on time not before or after. The time will fly by....Good luck!

Wow, I hope my spouse is that way!! lol.. We are doing the journey together. I am getting my band the 24th and she is getting hers some time with in the next 4-6 weeks. I hope our love life comes back!.. congrats to yours being renewed....lol..

Sounds like you went what I went through. We need to count our blessings, I the the choice of your dr or dr coon, I chose to go to Dr. Coon. I am schedualed for the 24th....Good LUCK!!!

What a wonderful way to look at a new life! I wont miss worrying about having clothes to fit me, because I keep getting larger. I wont miss looking at pictures of my self and crying. I wont miss avoiding the camera and being out of most of the holiday family pictures. and there are so many others. Thank you for this insight.

I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I am being banded on the 24th! I am excited and scared. But I am sure all will be fine. How are you doing now? are you on the soft food diet?
