I had my surgery Tuesday and I'm feeling almost normal. I'm just not sure about my eating and drinking, I'm not thirsty or hungry but I am eating and drinking what I can. Any advice on what I should be trying to do to get more food and drink down?

I had mutt sugery yesterday morning, and so far not to bad but I do feel like I need to throw up. im only drinking water so far. any advice on what to do im taken meds but they don't seem to be helping.

Surgery is tomorrow at 2! I am so nervous about the sugery in general, i know once I have the surgery I will be good but all I can think about is what if something goes wrong, is this normal?

Oh and the day before I have my surgery I can only have water until my sugery the next day at 2, i think that's going to be the hardest.

What is everyone's pre op diets? I have been on mine for a week and its been ok I did cheat this weekend but other then that not to bad. I can have grits in the morning, yogurt at 9:30, 11 applesauce, much protein shake, 3 pudding, 5 yogurt, and dinner is another shake.

I'm not planning to I have been on it for a week now and that was the only time I ate.

Yea i have a cold now that I'm trying to get rid of. Good luck with everything!

I'm getting nervous surgery is next Tuesday! The pre opp diet is a little hard I cheated this weekend and had a small piece of steak and a salad. What are y'all allowed to eat on your pre opp diet, i can have grits in morning then at 9 yogut at 10 apple sauce lunch is a protein shake then at 3 pudding at 5 yogurt and a protein shake for dinner.

My surgery date got changed to Dec18th can't wait... start liquid diet tomorrow!!!

I'm getting banded Dec 20 kinda close to Christmas but I'm excited!!!!

Thanks I have Aetna.

I went to my seminar in July had to do a 3 month diet for my insurance. Got my approval today and surgery is Dec 13th! Good luck!

Just got my approval!!!! surgery is Dec. 13 so excited and nervous:)

My paper work was submitted last week praying I get good news soon!!!

So I will be having my surgery next month, since going to my first appt in July I have put on weight instead of taking it off. I feel like I should eat foods that I know I wont be able to eat after the surgery. I have stopped drinking cokes and I am slowly cutting down on my foods. But is it normal for me to want to eat things that I know I wont be able to after surgery?

Thanks everyone!!! Glad to hear some positive things because lately all I have been getting is negative feedback. I go for my last appointment the 24th of this month and then I have a 2 week liquid diet and then surgery....I cant wait to start a new life!!!!

So I am getting lap band surgery in November and I am started to freak out. I have read the good and bad but I want to know peoples personal experience with it. If you had to do it again would you? How was it the first few days after surgery?
