Do fills hurt?

Thanks and good luck to you as well!

And congrats!

I hear ya. If the pain in my back and chest would subside this would b almost easy. Lol

Yes I'm taking what the dr prescribed And took some gas x earlier.

Hello all. I'm on the other side. I was banded about 9 hours ago. I'm home and doing well. Pain in my stomach not too bad. I've had 2 c sections and the pain is comparable. Hard to get up and down but just kinda sore when laying down. My question is.... has anyone experienced back pain? I have a bad back anyway but I've had constant pain my in back since I woke up. Nothing is helping. Could is be gas pains? I've heard gas pains in the shoulder but not the back. Also I have discomfort in my chest. Almost feels like heartburn. Is this gas? Overall doing well. Getting up walking some sleeping some and have only had water today. Thanks for reading and the support. Here's to a healthier skinny all of us!!!

Thanks:)

Tomorrow is the day!!!! So excited and nervous. No sleep tonight I'm sure! Can't believe I'm starting this new chapter in my life. So ready:) wish me luck!

Scratch that it is staceyw226@gmail.com Sorry forgot it changed. Thanks

My surgery date is the 9th also. I'm on day 7 of pre op as well. Good luck!!

Best of luck to all of you!! How exciting. I have a week to go. Can't wait to read how you all are doing:)

everyone's is different from what I've been reading. Mine is 800-1000 cal a day. 70-90 g Protein with shakes being Breakfast and lunch with a Protein Bar in the middle for snack. dinner is 3-4 oz of lean meat and half cup of starch and veggies. Totaling no more than 350 cal at dinner. I'll be a week in on Monday tomorrow with one more week to go. Band date is the 9th. I've lost 10 pounds since Monday. Crazy! First few days were very hard but it gets easier and now I'm used to it. It's just routine and I love seeing the scale go down. Don't get me wrong I still have tough moments like today At Nascar race. Corn dogs funnel cakes nachos cheeseburger fries. U name it.... I had my Protein Shakes before I left and protein bar while my bf was eating junk. Very hard but I made it. Good luck!

Good luck!!!!

So I'm on day 5 pre op. Doing well although I think my body is in shock. I dreamt last night I had eaten breaded deep fried fish and was standing at a dessert table thinking what had the least calories and knowing in my head I was cheating. I felt soooo guilty. Anyway, when I woke up I was so happy that is was a dream and I haven't fallen off once. Got on the scale and I'm 9 pounds down in 5 days. Wow no fried food or any dessert can make me feel that good! Just thought I'd share. Happy Friday:)

I personally can have unlimited sugar free popcycles. Might check with your Nutritionist. Good luck to ya. I'm on day 3. It's getting easier but not easy by any means. I'm on 800-1000 calories a day. 70-80 grams of Protein.

Good for you!! We are all here for you. This forum is fantastic and very supportive. You can do it! I'm in pre op stage now day 3 and down 7 pounds already since Monday. Band date July 9. It's not easy by any means and I work for a fast food chain. So its really hard. If I can do it so can you. Good luck!!

Congrats!!!!

I am also July 9. On day two. It's been a little rough and I too have had headaches. I took some tylenol tonight. It helped. Good luck!

Im on day two. This is pretty tough. But I know we can do it. I was dreaming about eating a cheeseburger that had pineapple in it. Yuck!! Lol. I don't even like pineapple. No idea where that came from. Good luck:)

Thanks! I can have caffeine and had some didn't help. I'll try Tylenol. staying positive

I think so. I've had two Protein shakes and two bottles of water. Also had a sm diet pepsi in case it was lack of caffeine. I will get more liquid in tonight. Maybe it's sugar withdraw?? No idea. I know it has to get better. I'm staying positive:)

Day two pre op diet. Please tell me these headaches go away!! Its bad enough I'm starving and light headed but I'll deal with that. These headaches are killing me! Band date July 9th. Btw I love this site and think its very supportive! Good luck to everyone!

Day one of pre op diet today. Went pretty good. I was starving Earlier at least I thought I was..... Every day will get easier I hope. Band date July 9 th:)
