Banditiff

I have to be there by 11!

That's right Banditiff !! To think this time tomorrow I should be home resting and ready to start my new life!!

Me, too!

Y can't you sleep I'm 10 days post op and sleeping like a baby on my sides' date=' back n sometimes my tummy.[/quote']

Most of us on this particular thread are PRE-OP. . .so we can't sleep because we are filled with anticipation of being on the other side of the surgery. . . We want to be like you, "already banded"! Lol

:-)

Oh my gosh!!! Less than 48 hours!! So excited!! I can hardly stand it!

I know. . .it's like CHRISTMAS in November!

I bought it at the Vitamin shoppe. It was 42 for the 2lb container.

Next time try to buy it in advance from the website. . . It's like $26 and with shipping it comes to $33!

Nevermind, its the same thing! That's what I am having! My doctor refers to it as imbrication. . They call it the I-Band in my docs office!

**Is it similar to imbrication?

No. Plication is still "experimental" in the U.S. so only certain doctors have approval to perform. it. My doctor is one of them' date=' but I opted not to have it. That has been my single regret in this journey. But now, I have a band slip, so I get a second chance. Hopefully, if all goes well, I will be banded and plicated on thursday!![/quote']

What is plication? Its out similar to imbrication?

Went an bought the syntax double stuffed cookie' date=' it's very good![/quote']

I told you, it's AWESOME! I order mine online. . .where can you purchase it locally?

I had my surgery today with D.Smith and yes he and his staff are all awesome. I live in Crowley a little town just so of Ft. Worth. I was his first patient this morning arrived at 5:45 a.m. and was home in my bed by 9:30 sore on my left side where the port is and that's about it. Good luck on your surgery.

Hey, Stephanie! I live in Crowley, too! I will be banded this coming up Friday by Dr Robert Snow. Since Crowley is so small I figure we could be a great support for each other locally! It's amazing how many banders are on this forum from little ole Crowley, TX!

Thank you! Ill be praying for you also!

:-) :-) :-)

I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I know that feeling! I tried to put myself to sleep with Tylenol PM and the chicken Soup Protein mix by Unjury today. . . It didn't work! Lol I just can't wait. . . I am so ready for this journey!

Just got my time' date=' for Friday...7am!![/quote']

Awwww. . .we wont see each other! That's ok, we'll just support each other from this forum! Praying for you hun, keep us updated!

Just got my time. . . Friday @ noon!

There ya go!

:-) :-) :-)

Omg I dont know what to tell you I was able to eat everyday I just cud not eat 12 hours before...oh wow that sucks. I hope your head gets better tho.

Thanks,ChietNoHow! The nurse from nut EDG on Friday just called and I asked her. . .she also told me I could do Tylenol! Such a relief!

its completely normal. I had a headache from hell until day 4 of my 2 week preop diet. Call your Dr and see what you can take. I was allowed tylenol.

Ok, thanks,Floridays!

Congrats to you as well Banditiff! Keep us posted!

I definitely will!

So, my doctor, Dr Snow in Hurst, Tx, put me on a 5 day diet before my surgery on Friday. Today is day 3 and I have the WORST headache! I can't get rid of it. . . I even tried a Starbucks singles packet (with a scoop of vanilla Unjury Protein Powder, of course) this morning! My pre-op instructions say to avoid aspirin or anything that will thin my blood this week! Any suggestions? I'm dying here. . .all I want to do is close my curtains and lay in my bed ALL DAY; but I have things to get in order (family meals, last minute house work, etc.) before the big day!

unjury chocolate Splendor is delicious! They also now have a chicken Soup which I just ordered! Can't wait to try it!

Yes, I orders tge sample pack from both companies! My favorites are Nectars Double Stuffed Cookie and Unjury chicken Soup (so good) and Unjury Unflavored (can mix in ANYTHING. . .and is truly unflavored)!

I too get my band the 16th! Counting down the days now! My two week liquid diet has gotten tough all of the sudden. Im not really hungry' date=' but bored I guess. Lol. Congrats everyone![/quote']

Congrats and God Bless! I'm counting down the days, too. . .only 3 more days! Lol

I hear you ! I am impatiently waiting too

When is your surgery and where are you from? :-)

Banditiff...I am too! So excited to start this new chapter! My diet has been ok...for some reason the last few days have been worse than when I first started...lol

I haven't received a call yet either. I went today for my lab draws. I really hope to see you Friday!!

I did my lab draws about 2 weeks ago and I had to have an endoscopy done on Friday! SO READY. . .I CAN TASTE IT. . . no pun intended! Lol

I live nectar brand' date=' lots of flavors including fruit. The Cookies and cream is great. You can order a sample pack of 10 flavors from their website.[/quote']

YES! YES! YES!

Syntrax Nectars are great. . . I ordered the sample pack before surgery (surgery is this Friday), and I just placed an order for the Double Stuffed Cookie last night so that I wouldn't suffer without it after surgery! Lol

The Double Stuffed Cookie by Syntrax Nectars is AWESOME. . .it taste like a Cookies and cream shake. . .NO KIDDING. . .and you can't taste the Protein whatsoever! Don't know if out matters to you, but it is also made with isolate Protein. . .THE BEST!
