Wish I had known about it.

The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.

I agree with above. Most bands are laproscopic. Had to be a scare tactic. Stomach had strong acid in it. Two days is too long to remain recognizable. Now they may have nicked the stomach during laptop due to the food in it, then patient confirmed eating the fries and burger.

Btw I hare predictive text. Mess = meds. Sorry for any confusion

Dang ash, was there complications during your surgery or special circumstances? That sound pretty conservative approach.

Depends on surgery and any complications. I found I felt good 6 days out, but over did it and was beat tired. I think u have to listen to your body and pocketbook. If you can afford to br off longer u might consider it.

Same here. Message me. All in this together.

Good ion jschlugs... way to go

I had cream of asparagus and tomato. They were both good.

Doctors scare people with tales of complications. I do agree the post op diet shrinks the liver by throwing the body into ketosis. But if it was really a concern for liver size I would think they would reject people over xxxxx weight. As you get larger so does the liver. I didn't stray from diet but cant blame one who did. All liquid is terrible torture.

The liquid diet is worse than the fiery pits of Hades. But it is all for a noble cause. On the positive side, how much have u lost?

Are you allowed creme soups yet?

If will work out. The liquid diet is hell. But you will make it through. Stay positive. You have made a great change in your life.

I had mine done on 8/7. I was approved to move to soft foods today. Feels like just yesterday I was on the hospital. Again good luck a lot of sunshine on the other side to look forward too.

Wow 200$. Makes you wish u had access to the needle to to it yourself.

Talk to the Dr. A lot of mess have oral solution ir powder alternative options. Fda requires it for some mess.

I heard some patients never need an adjustment. That the restriction from the band is enough. With a good doctor I would hope u get to provide input.

Great seam good luck and health recovery.

Liquids are interesting. I thought mine was having issues too. But it makes sense. Liquids go straight thrum to full stomach. So have to avoid high calorie drinks.

Right now I am targeting 3 weeks. I am hoping this doesn't appear to long. I know from a few days ago that fatigue just hits. And I cant rule out 10 to 12 hr days when I return. I once had to work 32 hrs straight.

Yeah I went for a walk too. And I was wasted tired. I passed out for about 3 hrs when I got home. I feel good but know I am not ready.

I had my band placed on Tuesday. I am feeling better but still uncomfortable. How long is reasonable to be off work? I have disability coverage so length is not an issue. I just don't want to abuse or go back too soon. I have an active job that requires long hrs with lots of movement, changing of positions. I also will have trouble getting breaks when I go back to eat a small bite.

Keep your head up it all works out in the end. Just stay focused on the goal. You already made great progress by deciding ti get the surgery. That takes faith and strength.

The insurance should be able to provide you with gap coverage. Basically since she is so far away they should approve a doctor out of network that is close to her school. You would have to call them to inquirer.
