So I just got home from the hospital a few hours ago everything was fine I was so happy to see my daughter. On the way home we dropped off my prescriptions. the Walgreens is literally one minute away from my house so I told my boyfriend just go pick them up and I'll stay with the baby(he would only be gone 5 mins) he insisted on taking the baby but I demanded that she stay. Big mistake. She was so happy I am home and she's reaching for me but I can't pick her up. I get on the floor with her but it wasn't enough she wanted to be picked up. I immediately started having a panick attack. It's a horrible feeling not being able to pick her up and from me crying my pain kicked up a lot. ugh never again . okay I'm done being stubborn. I need to heal properly. Please people don't be like me let your body heel and relax. I'm only one day post op & I could of really hurt myself.

A round of Popsicles for everyone !! just make sure they are sugar free good day all !

Thank you & yes the liquid diet was absolute torture for me the last 4-5 days on it. it took extreme will power but trust me stay strong the feeling of that small accomplishment is well worth it! Good luck & hang tight

Thank you hls50. I'm overnight. Can't sleep to well. I'm really missing my daughter I'm rarely away from her overnight. I'm feeling pretty good my port site is very tender that's my only issue right now. How long until it becomes a little less tender?

Same to you my friend ! We will get through this

Thank you ! I will definitely be resting up tonight

I can officially post in the post op section! Arrived at the hospital at 9am went back for surgery Around 11am and woke up around 1:40pm. I am banded !!! When I woke up I thought omg what the hell did I do to myself . Once I got that pain medication in me I changed my mind lol. I feel awesome I'm so blessed and thankful. I'm ready to begin this journey with massive success like many of you ! :) ps. I'm a little loopy so please excuse me if this isn't making any scense .

Lol Well she said she was on the liquid diet and sugar free Popsicles made me feel better during my pre op diet. Just a suggestion. LBT Is a great support site but I wish you luck in finding another one that better fits your needs.

That is awesome! Keep up the good work. Today at work someone brought in a "sophisticake" . The woman who makes these cakes is very well known in my area any special occasion that i need a cake for she makes it and let me tell you they are the best damn cakes I've ever tasted lol but I didn't touch it. was so tempting tho

Thank u

Good Luck band buddy ))

Just got the call I have to be at the hospital at 9am for surgery. I'm like in a state of shock so to speak. I'm excited but nervous. I've worked so hard to get to this point. See you guys on the other side ... !

I actually enjoy her postings. Sometimes they pop out of no where and they are exactly what I need.

I'm on day 11 of my Preop diet and all I can think about is something good to eat !! but I will NOT give in to temptation

oh yes that's a good idea. I hate hospital gowns. thanks for the tip

I'll be staying overnight

Congrats girl ! Keep up the good work !!

I know there is a thread like this already but I'm using my phone and it's acting weird so I can't find it. I'm getting banded on Thursday and have so much to do before then so I want to pack my bag today. What should I bring (I know the essentials such as clothes and toiletries )? Anything a must have after surgery ?
