Ok good this is normal then. I just took another does of codeine to see if it helps. I didn't feel much relief from it last night though.

Hi Krystle, was banded yesterday too! But only allowed water for 24 hours, then clear fluids for the rest of the day. How are you feeling? Do you abdominal muscles hurt? I'm really sore! Teena

October 2012 Bandsters
TeenaD replied to NYTeacher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can anyone help me? Did anyone have a cough going into their surgery date? I've been coughing for 4 weeks now, my GP has given me 2 different puffers...but now I am only 4 days from surgery and still coughing, and I'm worried that they might try to reschedule my surgery (after this horrendous 2 week diet I'm not sure I can do this again) My GP says that they will definitely postpone if my cough doesn't go away. Worst part is that I don't think I can just postpone...I will probably have to reschedule entirely for sometime in December...as we are going on a vacation Nov 22. And does anyone know if it is OK to take Nexium in the pre-op diet? I'm wondering if this cough is just GERD now...I used to have a nagging cough all the time because I had GERD (basically just coughing up acid), and Nexium solved it. I still have some in the house. Does having an empty stomach cause extra acid? I will call the clinic on Monday, but I'm just stressing out about this, and wondered if anyone else had a similar experience -

Just read this entire string of posts. Really great to hear all your good news, and what I have to expect for my surgery on October 31st. Can't wait - 5 more days! -
I have been on the pre-op diet for 9 days now, and have lost 10 lbs. I am on about 1000 cal a day consisting of 3 shakes and low glycemic veges. I'm starving all the time, but I like the see the scale dropping!

Getting Banded October 31St
TeenaD replied to mzyunique1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep! October 31st for me too. I've been on the pre-op diet for 7 days and lost 9 pounds so far. I hope this next week goes by quicker!! -
I cannot believe that people make the decision to have this surgery, and don't take it seriously. I'm only 6 days into my pre-op diet, but I would never even consider cheating. I did not come by this decision lightly, and plan to do everything in my control to make sure this works!

Just found out 2 days ago, that I'm October 31st. Started my protein shake diet today!
