Hey, let me know if u find an alternative. I was told that at GNC they have special women's iron pills, i dont know if thats true. My iron level was 20 yesterday and I am being banded in 3 days. I am going to have to do something about it as well. My energy level is so low. let me know! Thanks and good luck.

Did anyone answer the watermelon question, lol

So like pain wise, ur good? What about when u first woke up from the surgery? I am tough with pain, I did great for 2 csections but then i had a knee surgery and when i woke up from it OMG!!!!!!!!!! It hurt so bad! I just wanna be prepped!

I am currently on a clear liqiuid and shake diet. My BMI is 39.......I am so nervous bc I havent done too well on it. Trying to. I am drinking wonton soup broth as we speak lol.

Ohhhhhh sooooooo how do u feel? I hope u are doing good. I dont know about the chives though.........So did it hurt? Tell me tell me tell me, lol. I only have a few days to go. How much weight did u lose from doing the pre op diet?

Was that post op?

I am scheduled for Tuesday and have done HORRIBLE on the diet for 2 weeks. I am supposed to do 2 shakes and a small protein meal, which has either been healthy choice lunch meat and fat free cheese or a small wendy's chili (19grams of protein). But to be honest I have snacked and cheated and I am one who will not be proud that I accomplished 2 week liquid diet. it sucks. But i have the rest of today and tomorrow and then only clear liquids on Monday, which I will stick to 100%. It is hard. If I could stick to a diet, I wouldnt be getting banded. But thats no excuse, I should have been able to do it when it was said. But I didnt and I will still accomplish the surgery and be proud in the end. Good Luck.

Thanks Kathy!!!!! You have done great from what I see on your ticker! What an inspiration!!!

Well I had emailed the nutritionost throught the Cleveland Clinic, where I am having my surgery, and told her how bad I was doing. She reassured me that YES i need to be doing it but I am not a failure bc i havent done well. I think I just lost it for a bit! But I am better now, lol. I have today, friday, saturday and sunday, 4 days. I vow to my lapband buddies NOTHING BUT 3 SHAKES AND CLEAR LIQUIDS!!!! And I get only clear liquids on Monday! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

Yep, that's a good butt kicking, lol. Thanks!!!

So how long after being banded did u get preg?

SOOOOOOO, I am supposed to be doing this pre-op diet. WELL. I have done awful. I have surgery on Tuesday, May31. I am supposed to be doing 3 shakes a day and only clear liquids! I am so upset bc I havent been doing well. Especially today!!!! HELP!!

Well, I guess this should welcome me into being a psycho lol. I just rampaged my house and threw EVERYTHING and ANYTHING out that I found to be temoting. I am trying to do this pre-op diet and there is just too much stuff here. Froot Loops, chocalate teddy grahms, stuff normally wouldnt bother me, is GONE!!!!!!!! If the kids want it, too bad, lol. Cheerios and rice cakes for them until I am through this! I am just way too stressed. Dr. said shakes and clear liquids for 2 weeks. Well thats inhumane. Especially since I had ONE day notice of this. Well today has not been the best day. Started out fine and then who knows what happened. Oh well, i ditched the temptation and am back here for some support. I have so much support from my family but it just isnt the same from them as it is from you guys that actually understand!!!! THANKS A MILLION!!!!

Its hard. I am supposed to be doing shakes and clear liquids. Not going over too well. I dont know, hoping the bamd will help. I could eat some cherry poptarts about now, but I just dont keep them in the house so it isnt tempting. You have to believe in your self. Good Luck Anyone know how i get this ticker thing to show in my signature?

Have u been banded yet?
