My pre op diet wasn't liquid it was no sugar carb fruit or fat....I was dying for a sandwich...still am...the full liquid there are more options but I am damn hungry now... I have gained 1-2lbs since Monday... however yesterday was day one back to the gym I am happy I lost so much before now cause I have heard that ppl can gain before first fill and I don't get my first fill till Aug 13th...so yikes....

I agree about 1 week that was how it was for me....

Ahhhh your son will understand....sucks that you were in so much pain last nite....I was still pretty groggy from the morphine they must have pumped me full before I left.... My eating is getting along....I am so ready to get off liquids but have to wait till Monday....I just want a small sandwich....but have to get that out of my head for now.... Hello Banded in Cali....I just got the green lite today to go back to the gym for treadmill walking only and not to overdo it....no weights or any exercises using stomach muscles.... Keep in touch everyone...we are banded so close together

Wow awesome I was thinking of you today I am so glad that you are doing well....take it easy on yourself...no lifting...lots of liquid.... What pain killers did they give you? if it is Percocet....they made me very dizzy when getting up from a sitting or laying.... Let us know how tomorrow is....

OOOOHhhh tomorrow is so exciting...that was me last Sunday I got my band on July 9th, day of surgery I came home (surgery was at 8am home by 1230) that day I slept alot...but Tues was had to drink and then the gas pain came horrendous for 3 days....however 6 days out still recovering on full liquids now...thankfully....and feeling better just little energy so I am milking my husband for everything...I deserve it.... 3 weeks including 2 wks of pre op diet....I have lost 26lbs....yeah me.... Wish you luck....keep the board updated I will be thinking of you tomorrow

Where are you from? Toronto Ontario Canada When is your surgery? had my Surgery July 9th What excites you most about the surgery? Tons of things....being healthy...being thin....buying clothes in any store...and not online or Lane Bryant...wearing Lululemon pants... What scares you the most? That this pain won't go away....

Hello I was banded July 9th....and felt pretty good that day...but since then I have been fighting with drinking enough...and gas pains and muscles aches....dizzy spells vomitted this morning....dry heaves really and 2 days of spitting up foam.... I don't want to jinx myself but I am feeling better this afternoon contacted the clinic a few times....and was told all is normal....haven't transitioned to full liquids yet hopefully tomorrow....so far I am down 26lbs since the start of my pre op diet... Keep in touch Kelly

Hello Lori Welcome to the site....I am also new to the site....I have looked at weight loss surgery for years....but I was told I wan't heavy enough for bypass....I thought that was a total joke....I am self pay I was banded on July 9th 2012 so day 4....and I am just starting to feel better.... I have had successes in the past with Weight Watchers and Dr Berstein(Vitamin injections and low fat food) however tradgedy happened on Oct 30th 2010 after I had lost almost 80lbs my daughter was hit by a car and passed away 2 days later....my whole life had ended...I ate and drank for almost 18 months...hitting my highest weight of 275lbs. I also made this decision for ME I have been doing things for everyone my whole life....my parents were divorced when I was 4 so I was always the mom helper... My husband was NOT happy with my decision at first...we went marriage counselling to discuss my reasons....and although he didn't want me to do this....he is being totally supportive.... I am happy with the decsion that I have made...and I have lost 23lbs so far...19 during the pre op diet... good luck with the insurance approval.... Message me anytime... Kelly

My date is July 9th....I'm excited and nervous....but ready for change
