I wanted to know if anyone here has Asthma. I was banded on Thursday and I feel my lungs are not cooperating. Wanted to know if this is normal. Denise

I was banded on Thursday 3/8. I am only able to drink 2 oz of liquid and it takes me about 45 minutes to do it. Should I be concerned? I am drinking broth and my protein shakes. I am also having a lot of gas. :help:

Good Luck Exude! I will be thinking about you tomorrow! I am being banded on March 8th.

I know that is has been probably asked before---but I have to go on a pure liquid diet for two weeks after surgery. Can I have cream based Soups? :hungry:

It pretty much is!!!!! I have never had surgery before---so I am a little nervous. :phanvan

I am Pre-OP right now (surgery on the 8th). I have learned so much on this message board! Good Luck, Denise

I got my surgery date!!!!! March 8th!!! Thanks to everyone for all the questions answered! I have learned so much!

I bought a liquid muli vitamin. It is not bad!

That is what I noticed too! The shakes don't have as much Protein and they don't have any fiber--well at least not as much as the bars. What is your pre-op diet?

:clap2:Good Luck!!!!

I need advice--I hate the Protein shakes! Can I eat the Protein Bars instead? :hungry:

I am so glad that I found this site! I have learned sooooo much!

Thank so much for the encouragement and a swift kick to my butt about complaining about the pre-op diet

I am Pre-OP-surgery date is tenatively scheduled for 3/8. I am now on the Pre-OP "starvation" diet :cry I have a couple of questions: 1. Do all doctors have a sleep study done? I had one last night and they said that I might have mild sleep apena--but that I would have to come back for a second test with a cepat?sp machine:notagree I am a little annoyed because I didn't complain of sleep problems to my doctors (he does these test if the BMI is over 45). Anyway, the sleep coordinator --said that if I need one of these machines for recovery I would have to bring it????? This makes no sense. 2. Do all doctors have a Pre-OP liquid diet?

Hi Lianna! Congrats on the victory! I am Pre-Op (surgery date 3/8--if he can fit me in). Currently I am on my 2 week Pre-Op diet. Is this something that all doctors do? I have to have toast and oatmeal for bk, myocel shake for lunch, one serving meat and one serving green veg for dinner, and last but not least another myocel shake...already having anxiety.
