I had a few waves of it i was banded the 12th of this month. Try just sitting or laying down for a few mins until it passes. Hope this helps a little!

It's going to be hard for me since I am in the process of opening a small cafe with my brother but I know I can't taste every single thing I cook!
Other than that I have replaced over eating with reading, kids activities, chewing gum and shopping for random things .

I was banded this morning!!! Everything went great the dr said he did repair a small hernia (never knew I had one) other than that no complications!! Had my surgery at 9:15 and got to come home around 2:30. All in all I'm doing well, there's a faint pain on my left side but other than that in doing wonderful!! I'll talk to you all later!!

Thanks everyone!!!! I've been getting up as much as possible but if I'm up for too long I feel a little sick. Doctor said this is normal for the first day or so, so I hope it goes away quickly. Other than that no complaints! Hopefully my pain stats like this and does not get worse but only time will tell!!

Hi everyone!!! Everything went really good. Dr said I had a small hernia, who knew!! I am on my way home for some much needed rest!!

Heading to the hospital right now.the last 5 days I have not been hungry feeling and this morning I woke up like I'm starving lol. They told me not to chew any gum! Don't they know I'm a gumaholic?!! Anywho I'm sure they have their reasons for it so I will do as I'm told! I'll keep you all updated on my process. Tootles for now!

Well, every hospital and doctor is different, but it should go something like this: check in, pee test, go to room and strip down and put on gown, have iv line inserted and you relax on the bed until it is time. I got wheeled into the room and they had me slide over to the op table, asked me to lean my head back(for the breathing tube) and that was the last I remember. Unfortunately, I woke up to find that my surgery didn't take place as my liver was too large. I have been on the liquid diet since Oct 28th and I finally go back for my 2nd attempt next week the 16th.
You'll be fine and it'll be great. You'll see. As I always say, "let go and let god" and don't worry about it.

Got the call today and I'm scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 7:15 am and surgery at 9:15!! What should I be expecting? Do they give you anything to calm your nerves?!!

Please hang in there. We all have been there before and trust me it is not easy at all!! My diet only got better on day 5 things seemed to mellow in a way. Just keep reminding yourself you are getting your nutrition and are not starving!!

yep, they are gonna cancel the surgery and then kick you out of your house and then cut all your hair off....
oh my heavens.......ok you ate it. most likely (pooped it out)....dont do it again
get back on course and stay on the liquid diet.....(you will come across those who have cheated and say its not a big deal, but it is...you remember why you are doing this) to make yourself well....you can do this. this is the hard part. hang in there.
(ps...did you dip it in ketchup or mustard?? i love it in mustard)

I can't believe tomorrow is Tuesday and on Friday I will be joining the banded club!!!! The days have gotten easier to cope with, but I am a little concerned. I keep seeing that people loose anywhere from 10-25 lbs during their pre op diet and I have lost 2 lbs according to my scale :/. I have nothing but liquids and exercise as often as I can. Anyone else discouraged in the same way?!!

I'm drinking my last Protein Drink of the day and I have to just say....I am SICK of these things. I have different flavors that I switch with but omg even thunking of them I want to vomit!!! Also, I pee like a race horse and then some is this normal?? Sorry to sound like negative nancy but please tell me I'm not alone!!

I'm so glad everything went well for you. My anxiety is already rising waiting for my surgery on the 12th. Fingers crossed and god willing I will feel as well as you did.

So far so good. But I'm border line crazy.
