Way to go!!

THANK YOU to everyone who responded. Your replies were very helpful. I will get there. You are all an inspiration!

I was banded 8-2-13 and stopped losing for about 4 weeks and had my second fill (6cc in a 10cc band) and I have lost 1.5 lbs in 4 days. Work out a little extra lifting weights, eat Protein and stay away from too much sugar and carbs. We are going to win this war with the extra weight, but you have to believe to achieve ???ƒ

My dr gave me the all clear for mushies and said I could start solids next week. Is oatmeal ok as long as I make it watery???? They give me a nutrition packet but no specifics. I would b grateful for any advice....please and thanks

I was able to have oatmeal, cream of wheat or even an egg scrambled.

After you had surgery' date=' how long was it before your doctor wanted you to come back for a follow-up visit? Then, when did you have your first fill? (I know the fill date will vary for everyone) THANKS.[/quote']

My surgery was 8-2-13 and my first fill to be 8-29-13. Also, I am starving right now and hope it gets here quickly.

I had surgery Aug 2 and the pain is almost gone. But when I eat' date=' I feel like I could eat a burger and I'm not feeling restricted or too full. Im on mushies now and I haven't had a burger, but I was wondering if anyone feels this way? I thought it would hurt to take regular bites (that are mot mushy) or I'd get full really fast, but that's not the case. I haven't had my first fill yet so maybe it will help when I do. Any thoughts? I am getting fuller now than from before wls.[/quote']

I had my surgery the same day. I am still on liquids until Friday. I can't tell I was banded either. Looks like this may be normal

I can't believe my surgery is this week. It's sooooo crazy. I am so nervous but very ready to start looking and feeling amazing and eat healthier.

Mine is Fantasic Friday!!! When us yours ?

I can't take this preop liquid diet anymore. 1 week 2 days in and all I want to do is putting something in my mouth i can chew. Like real food not an ice pop. The shakes are making me gag. Sorry just had to vent!

I'm on day 3 of the pre op all clear liquid except 4 - 4oz Protein shakes. I have lost 7lbs and that's all that's keeping me going. Your almost there!!! It's going to pay off in the end.

Ok all' date=' just got home from my final consult, we scheduled surgery for next Friday! I start my preop today, chikes shakes 3-4 a day , crystal light Water an chicken broth! I'm nervous now- reality setting in:) anyone else around this time and anyone have advice about the preop diet! Thank you![/quote']

I am also scheduled for Aug 2. I hear surviving the pre op diet is the worst part. I feel like I'm starving.
