Ms.Millie

So... my two week pre-op liquid diet is over... surgery is at 9:15 tomorrow.
What I have learned over the past two weeks is that I am capable of getting through holiday parties and lunches and meals drinking broth and juice. It was the fastest two weeks of my life and now there is no looking back. I already feel better, I am off of all of my insulin already. I am so excited about the weeks and months to come! Thanks for all of your messages and inspiration over these last few weeks, it helped so much to get through hunger, and confusion and fear.....I will check in and let all of you know how surgery went. I am so EXCITED for all of us!!!!!!!!!! Keep on going!!!

My date is Dec. 21st!! It just hit me that I am a December bandster!!

Yes, mine is 12/21 too. Starting Pre-op diet tomorrow. I sure hope I can do this.

Hang in there. I start tomorrow and will be right there with you

My surgery is set for December 21st.... Anyone else out there on the same day? Maybe we could check in and do this together?

Thanks ms. Millie!! Got a kick out of your post. Hopefully they will subside, I'm not even a coffee drinker, so don't think it's that. Well see.

I'm happy to report that surgery went very well. I went into surgery at 9. Woke up around 10:30 from anesthesia and left to go home at 12. I've been able to lay in my bed on either side and sleep for and hour and a half at a time. I've been walking around a lot in between naps. I have no gas pains. My pain in my stomach just feels like I did a bunch of sit-ups. I'm also tolerating drinking fluids well and have had nausea. I hope the rest of the day continues this well. I have no regrets!

Hi! I'm getting my band on Dec. 21st. I can't wait. I'm starting my pre op diet this Friday. I'm so happy to find a place to talk to people who are going thru this with me. Good luck to all on the December Bandwagon.
