    I am officially BANDED as of 5/14/14. I am feeling pretty good (I hope I don't jinx myself). Everything went well according to the Dr. I am home now, pain is tolerable with meds and gas comes and goes. All in all, I did better than I expected, I am so overjoyed to be here. Love to all my supporters, I couldn't have done this without you, my band sistas!

    AXIOUSLY awaiting "the" phone call to be told what time surgery is! Nerves & mind are in full OVERDRIVE!

    T-2 Days till surgery...... Getting lots of anxiety now :(

    1. dlamp112

      dlamp112

      Thank you all for the great words of encouragement! However I am still so nervous, not about the surgery or the after feeling/care but just the thought of being put on a ventilator scares the living day lights out of me.

      Hope your doing well @jodie1961 & see you all on the other side!

    2. jodie1961

      jodie1961

      Nancy E.

      Dlamp112, today was the big day, yes? I hope you are doing well and being on the ventilator is/was not as scary as you imagined. You are now on the losers bench. Congratulations!!! Keep us posted please.

    Hello All! What are some of your tips that you had for when you did the pre op diet? I already have a shake that I like, so I don't want recommendations on brands of shakes, but more so of other liquids and perhaps a schedule? I start my pre op diet on 5/1, surgery is scheduled for 5/14. Tell me what worked best for you and why? Thanks!

    Mushies

    dlamp112 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    What are some of the "mushies" we can have post op (2 weeks after liquids) once the Dr gives the go ahead? I am trying to prepare anything I can while I can since I have a newborn? Anyone, please share what you were able to tolerate and how you did it Thanks!

    Tips for Pre Op Diet Needed

    dlamp112 replied to dlamp112's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Thanks LISACARON - your recommendation seems to be working. However I am eating a lot of pudding since it is thicker it seems as if it is filling me the best. I hope that is ok, and YES it is sugar free made with fat free milk
  20. dlamp112

    Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow

    dlamp112 replied to Tracy Learmonth Shaw's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Im into day 5... not really hungry anymore, yet I am looking for food. Lost 8 lbs so far. Ladies, chin up we can do this! Lots of luck to you all
  21. dlamp112
    I am in the same boat.... SCARED & NERVOUS & EXCITED all at the same time. I keep reassuring myself everything will be just fine. Look for the positive in all of this - think of how great you will feel and how others will be tossing compliments your way! Lots of luck and remember we are all in this together!
  22. dlamp112

    Day 5 - and it really is getting easier..... I never thought I would say that. Total loss so far is 8 lbs, not bad to start out with and the week is not even done yet. I wonder where I will be the day of surgery.

    1. BigGirlPanties

      BigGirlPanties

      yep it does get easier as you "detox"... good luck to you!

    2. Mikee57

      dlamp112

      Ha! I just cancelled my membership a few weeks ago to PF in Hicksville. I just had a baby 8 weeks ago, no time right now, lol. What DR are you using?

    3. dlamp112

      dlamp112

      Oh I see now - McMullen. My friends daughter used her. She had a bypass and lost well over 120 lbs in 5 months :)
