Needing some post op (almost one year) support. Only lost 30 pounds. Help!!!

Banded October 10th. Feel like my appetite is back with a vengeance. Don't know if I did the right thing. have to keep the compression band on all the time or I feel like I am pushing out my port.

Well, we got my platelets up enough to do the surgery yesterday. Was a bit frustrating being NPO past midnight before with a 1230 surgery time. Especially since they didn't get to me until after 4. Woke up in quite a bit of pain but it has been managed pretty easily. Haven't been able to get up and about since they gave me my night time meds pretty much as soon as i got to the floor last night. But I just cant sleep more than 30-45 min. at a time. Should go home sometime today, will keep everyone posted. Hope everyone has a great day, especially anyone getting done today!

Im having an issue, im day 6 pre op and have done what im supposed to I think, but my morning meds are causing me trouble (my everyday count is 5 pills am and 7 pm pills) . When I take my morning meds I am supposed to eat with them. Im finding that even immediately after a shake or Soup, I am nauseaous and end up expelling them. Im also worried about after the surgery, isn't it going to be almost impossible to get them down?

Is there anyone else who has dealt with anything like this?

Hi all, day 5 of 10 day preop diet. Im having as hard a time as anyone else, but Im doing my absolute best to stick to everything. Go into the hospital on Monday, Surgery will be on thursday. (I have a very rare blood disorder and must get four days worth of medication). Just gotta get through the next two days then im on the downswing!!!!!

Getting ready to fix my family dinner and present myself with a one cup of cream of mush. Soup, 1/4 c cottage cheese, and a popsicle, Im so hungry !!!!

On day one of my 10 day pre op diet, i need prayers to get through this part I dont know how to survive! i want a coke so badly i cant see straight, but I refuse to fail! WE CAN DO THIS!

I will be having surgery October 11, I live in OKC but will be traveling to Tulsa. Ive been going through flaming hoops since Nov of last year, now that it is finally happening,I am scared to death and seeing horror stories and freaking out! What is helping to keep you guys calm?
