I am having difficulty getting in protein but I am trying. I am also snacking on water melon slices and that helps. How about you?

I was banded on 4th too ..I may try the cream soups..I tried egg drop soup tonight but it was nasty. What other things are yoe eating? I would love to stay in touch with y'all.

I had my surgery on Monday and started my period 10 days before it came due ...is it because of surgery and has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you!!!

I have staples..5 staples where the oort site is. I am not hungry not even a little bit which is good but makes it hard to drink liquids. Do you have a job where u sit down alot or are u moving around? I have a sit down job but Dr suggested 2 weeks off.

I had surgery yesterday and wondering same thing..I go back to work on 18th. Did u gain any while in hospital? I gained a few pounds.

Before I had surgery yesterday I lost down from 237 to 229..with preop and weigh today and weigh 232...anyone know why? Had my fluids that I'm supposed to have.

Thanks everyone! Good luck to you as well!

I was banded this morning. In some pain near port site and have a pillow on my stomach. On another note.. So glad I graduated over to postop!

Good luck to you as well Dora!

Thank you Jodi! Congrats on your weight loss!

I started clear liquids today for Tomorrow's surgery. Any advice to get me thru the day?

What kind of vitamins everyone taking? Surgery for me is Monday.

Awesome article

Thank you everyone!

I have been ready for this surgery for nearly a year now but what I am not ready for is starving and this liquid diet thing! Will it be better after I am banded and have restriction?

I am being banded June 4..scared, excited, relieved....just hope I can do the diet

I am going to be banded on the 4th and I am so ready for this week to be over with! I am ready to start losing instead of Gaining!!! How is everyone else doing?

I just got the call! Surgery June 4th and start my liquid diet on the 28th of May...of all days Memorial day to start my liquid diet. I feel like I am breaking up with the love of my life...but it is a good break up....LOL

Thanks everyone ... decided rhe band is for me..i have a other sleep study Wednesday to adjust cpap and 23rd is my last "Dr supervised diet" then i get to go back to surgeon..classes and seminars complete ..sure has been a long journey but I'm ready!

True! Thank you...I am just getting nervous I think. I have one more month to go then the process starts.

Just having a difficult time trying to decide if I want a foreign object in me or having 85% of my stomach taken out. Anyone else struggling with this?
