  1. 11 pounds is great!!!! I'm sure you will be fine! Good Luck!
  2. I would call the number on your release instructions, you don't want to get dehydrated. I would start drinking water. Hope you are feeling well otherwise.
  3. I would love to be added to the private FB page, I was banded november 5th.... FB name Tish Selle Lehigh... Thanks
  4. I'm day 5 postop, still on liquids and my instructions say liquids for another week, then puree... it is interesting how the instructions vary post and preop. I'm just ready for mushy, soft food...
  5. I am on day 4 postop and have had a few cravings, but, I do not want to get sick. I still have the traveling gas that moves about inside my chest cavity and causes me to stop what I'm doing until it subsides, so painful. I have been drinking lots of water, no sugar tea, sf popcicles, sf jello.... I would love to have something like really mush soft refried beans, or mushy something.... but according to my instructions I still have a week to go on liquids. Honestly, not sure if I can make it another week without something mushy..... suggestions?? Please and thank you!
  6. I am on my 3rd day postop and wish I could say I didn't have much pain. Pain is better today but wow much more pain than I anticipated. the gas pressure in my chest has been terrible.....I've been taking my liquid pain meds and sleeping alot..... glad to know it gets better as each day passes.

  9. My day is tomorrow too, good luck!!! It will be worth it!!!
  10. thank you for the positive feedback! I will try to post an update as soon as i feel up to it!!! I've lost 15 pounds so far on the preop diet, looking forward to taking more off!!!
  11. Tomorrow is my day to be banded!!! Any words of wisdom or advice from those of you who are already banded? Thanks!!!!
  12. Good Luck and keep us updated!! I am banded tomorrow morning and looking forward to the new journey.
  13. I am getting banded tomorrow, from what I have read you won't feel very restricted until after your first fill. But sticking to the liquid diet and following the postop diet instructions is probably best. Good Luck in your journey!
