WEll my surgery day was the 23rd...got to come home the day after;m Thursday was the worst day for pain...haven't had much gas pain. The hospital satff was wonderful. My deah husband has been awesome taking care of me. I went to an auction this morning and then we went shopping for a bit; I was ready to come home and rest for an hour or so after that. I go back to work Monday & I do a lot of walking so I am trying to build my stamina up. Also, I'm worried about my water intake after I return to work. I leave my office for 1.5-2 hrs at a time making 'rounds' in the nursing home & I can't carry something t drink with me at all times...other than that I think I am ready to try this new life-style with my day job !!! So far I have not had any bad experiences.

Good Luck to all being banded tomorrow!!!! It is the first day of the rest of our NEW Healthier lives!!!!

I am scheduled for surgery 10/23!! I am so ready to start this journey. I love reading all these posts and am finding them very helpful. But i have noticed that there is a lot of difference in progression of food stages from Dr to Dr. wonder why?

Pre-Op completed today!! Next time I see my Dr. will be in surgery holding room!!! 6 more days!!! He says I'll start liquids the next morning for about 3 days, then soft for another 3 days, and then solids -- al dependent on how each se is tolerated of course!!!

Premier Protein Shakes - 30g Protein & 160 cals!!! Can get them at Sams.

I am a Respiratory therapist and my Dr said surgery on Tuesday and back to work on Monday! I hope so as surgery is 1 week away!!!

I am Oct. 23rd also! I started my pre-op diet this last Wednesday and go for hospital pre-op this coming Wednesday! Not hard to stick to pre-op diet during the week...but the weekend is hard! Good luck to all & I hope we can all suppoert each other through our journey

I liked the poem! Very feel good!

I am on day 3...and y'all are right - this is VERY hard; but I am so excited!!
