Deb, good luck and we will talk to you on the banded side. Hugs

My pre-op was only liquids for 2 weeks before, protien shakes, yogurt, creemed soups, sugar free puddings. wasn't to bad to stick with. i did 3 weeks because i was hoping to have my surgery a week earlier but didn't happen, anyway lost 20lbs before surgery.

Cant stand the powder, and i know the shakes are more exspencive but the pure protien shakes and the EAS myoplex light i like. my daughter found that sams has the eas 18 pack.

can't make commints from my I-phone either ask for password. let me know if you find out what to do

I am 13 days post op, when does the port pain stop. I am fine as long as i dont have any clothes on. Its like my port gets squeezed between my bra and my jeans. even though my jeans are loose.

ya hooo, thats the results you where looking for.

julz. i can definitely relate to the allein baby sounds lol, But they are getting better. Post op check up went well, dr was pleased with everything (wt lose, insitions healing, ect) got my instructions for my first fill on may 23. thought i would share some information that was on my instructions sheat. ARE YOU IN NEED OF A FILL? 1. are you hungry? 2. are you eating large meals? 3. are you looking for food? 4. can you eat 1/2 of a sandwich with untoasted bread? 5. are you having to use willpower? Note: IF YOU COULD HAVE LOST WEIGHT ON WILLPOWER, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED SURGERY! I just thought that that statmean speakes volums to me because i struggled with the why cant i do this on my own. and people telling me that i wasn't trying hard enought.

right now i am tring to figure out what is hunger pains and what is gas pains or just what all the rumbling is. LOL Have my post op appt today just to check my insitions wont get my first fill for awhile yet.

Concratulations. i know that one wieght off your shoulders. now the real stress begins LOL

Hi all i am 2 days post op and feeling preaty good. haven't had any pain meds but for the day of surgery. yesterday just managed with liquid ibuprofin only a little sore just getting up and down is the only time i hurt. Have a little gas pain in my chest but its tolerable. Was told to take a dose of MOM as soon as i got home and it worked wonders helped move the gas right on out . Nauseated when i got home but they had given me a rx for liquid phenagren to rub on my rist stopped the nausea almost immediaetly. Now if i could just get rid of this sinus headach i would be almost 100%

I know that several or group has allready been banded, lets hear from you. how did your surgerys go? Where you prepared? Any surprises? anything you can tell the rest of us that have our surgerys comming up. but mostley just let us know how you are.

Ok, everyone i am a visual person, would like to mark my calander with everones surgery dates.

Deb, Glad you had a good vacation. welcome back you were missed.

I am at 3 days pot op and ya i question weather i did the right thing or not. but i think thats just the post op blues. I am feeling more like myself today so for now its just one day at a time.

Don't forget to take a small pillow for your stomach.

my new life starts tomorrow morning. Im i nervouse, yes, am i excited, yes. you name it and thats me right now. See you all on the other side.

So happy for you ya hoo

Thanks guys for the pep talk just started to get a little case of nerves. I am going to take the next week off and not work, go back on the 23 give me a little over a week. My job is more physical as i am a health care provider for a middle aged man with MS. so there is some lifting involved. glad i have all of you to vent to. thanks

ok all your begining to make me nevouse, Banding with plication is thursday the 12 thats only 5 days today. Dr said i could go back to work the next day bur with everything i have read the last week not sure its going to be that easy. Had a total hystarectomy 2 yrs ago and it was a breese but that was all done without any outword cutting. now i am begining to think this isnt going to be that easy. Ok just venting
