I am going to be going away on June 1st to a party in LA. I am flying out just for the weekend. Has anyone been on an airplane since being banded? What was the experience? I am scared my band will explode! Lol I also would like to know if anyone has ever had an experience with drinking liquor while banded? I know that there will be alcohol around. By the way I was just banded May 9th!

Why can't us that are banded drink right after we eat??

I am only 4 days post op and yesterday had a small slice of ice cream cake! It was my son's bday! I couldn't help myself! I am ready to get right back on track. I feel so guilty and I had the worst stomach ache ever! I will never cheat again! I am also not drinking enough protein. I have maybe 5 grams a day. It's disgusting! Any tips on how to make the protein taste a little better?! Omg! I am a mess!

I am 2 days post op and feeling good! The first and second day I had horrible gas pains! I am so happy with my decision! I am not hungry at all that frightens me a bit because I can't get down the protein. I hate having to watch my hubby and kids eat regular food but hey this is what I signed up for! I am also having a hard time taking my meds crushed in applesauce! It's horrible tasting! I hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome! I am scheduled for May 9th! I am also nervous but very excited too. You will do fine! I am here if you need some support:)

Oh I am happy to hear that! I actually lost 8lbs in 7 days so I should be fine! Thanks!

I cheated on my pre op diet. I was suppose to be on liquids for the last 2 weeks and I actually snuck food in a few times. Has anyone else done this? Do you think the doc will cancel surgery? I am so disappointed in myself:(

That is wonderful! My goal is around 140lbs. but I am starting a lot heavier than you. I didn't even know they banded at 160lbs!

I tried glucerna, and muscle milk, i also tried met rx which was the best so far.

Oh, mine are! I tried different flavors and different brands and they are all equally bad! I am not consuming anything near 1200 cals a day. My hubby says if I can starve now than why do I need the surgery at all.

I am nervous too but I am so excited at the same time!

How are you doing with the liquid diet? The drinks are horrible!

I am allowed glucerna meal replacements, crystal light, and broth. This has to stay at 1200 cal. for 2 weeks. It's awful! I started today. Good Luck!

I am addicted to coffee as well and I don't think I can give it up! I gave up my diet cokes and I can't imagine life without any caffeine. Do you know why the doctors prefer we don't drink coffee after being banded?

What protein shakes are you using? How do they taste? What are you mixing them with?

Are you on strictly liquids? What will they allow you to have? I am only allowed the Meal Replacements, Water, and broth!

I started liquids today and it is so hard!! I am going to be banded May 9th. These 2 weeks are going to be awful.

I start my pre op diet tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for May 9th!
