Good luck to u! Im in the atx too!!

Syeph- i went with true results and only paid 5500. The reason is because i had a hiatal hernia. The entire staff said most people do have one. I had to get an egd done first but it knocked of 4400 off the total price of 9900. True results is awesome. I went in austin- i dont think they are doing the 1 yr after fills anymore but they are offering 6 months.. Good luck to u

The point of the pre op diet is to shrink the liver no to lose weight. So dont get down on yourself for what u feel may be a lack of weight loss. Try to change ur frame of thinking as all your doing is getting ready for surgery. As long as u do what they are telling u to do then your liver will be perfect. Just stick to it.. I was on the same pre op diet and i got into a routine of Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch each then a small sensible dinner, either eggs or string cheese or salami and cream cheese roll ups. In your case u may want to get some frozen veggies. Green giant makes some good broccoli and cheese steamers that are within the diet. Youll be fine.. Just stick with it!

Melidawn- did u get the brrathing thing they want us to use? Do u know how often were supposed to use it? Ps.. Howd yours go?

Heating pad is helping a ton. Id say its a must have. Gas x is too.. But i don't feel like its really helping that much

To me this **** hurts! Lol- yesterday the gas pain was bad. Today it still hurts but i feel like i did one thousand sit ups. I need help getting out of bed. And the pain meds im taking every four hours are just putting me to sleep. I still haven't looked at my stomach. I have no idea what it looks like! Im scared to look at it lol maybe im a baby who knows

I would fight it. But keep in mind it may make ur work environment hostile. Can u reschedule ur doc appointment for another day? Or maybe can u just take off the morning? This just sounds weird to me. Id fight it

Howd it go for u today annie?

Just water is ok right? Thats what ive been doing

Surgery was today and im laying in bed with heating pad, walking around my apartment every hour. This gas stuff hurts a bit but other than that i am ok. I do not feel like ill eat at all today. Is this normal? Im still laying here thinking... What did i get myself into? Lol :/

Im so sorry to hear that.. U can do it! Make sure ur getting in ur vitamins and stuff. My pre op diet i was barely getting 600 calories a day

I go in in an hour and 45 min.. Ahh!

I dunno if ill be able to sleep tonight so i may be on here posting!

Mines at 1015.. Which i was earlier but its ok!! Im soo nervous and questioning everything! Like do i really want to make this permanent change? What if something happens later on in life with the band. Etc etc...

Ladybabie when are u ging back to work? Is the pain bearable to work thru? My surgery is tomorrow and im going back to work tuesday. Is it like pain? Or uncomfortable?

Just keep in your routine.. Your body will get use to it. Know that the end prize is worth it. From experience too if u mess up it makes it harder to get back onto it! So just stick with it! Itll get easier. I had Protein Shake in morning and lunch. Then just drank flavored water throughout the day

Thanks u guys are awesome!! Ive never had surgery before so I'm extra nervous!

I screwed up once but other than that i was perfect. I lost 16 lbs! Holy cow lol.. It got easier as it went on

Youll get use to it.. And youll love seeing the scale drop like crazy.. I lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks.. Crazy!

I cant believe its tomorrow! Feeling a bit nervous and excited and scared.. If that makes sense? 24 hours ill be banded! Holy cow!
