  1. Hey, I am scheduled to be banded Monday June 9th. I am 4 days in to my 7 day pre op diet. I'm a little down on myself because I have cheated at least once everyday. I love to eat, hence why I need the lap band tool. Please tell me I'm not the only one who cheated, or please tell me what helped you get through this hell week!? Three more days, I wanna be good and get through it!
  2. Hey Guys, First off let me tell each of you THANK YOU so much for responding to the thread I created. Even if you offered some "blunt" encouragement, it was encouragement none the less. I look forward to figuring out bariatric-pal more, and following each of you on your journey! I am 3 weeks post op, and just wthin the past couple days I have started to feel back to my normal self (no more sharp pains at the port incision, no pain bending over, etc). My physican does not to a first fill until 6 weeks. I have lost 20 lbs now since the preop diet. PRETTY EXCITED! I love love love my protien shakes, and I have ventured into soft foods. ALL is well! This is real now, no more cheating... but I wouldn't be human if it didn't cross my mind. I am super hungry, so I am looking forward to that fill in a couple weeks. Hope to see you all in other forums on here. Thanks again!
  3. Thanks Colleen, surgery was a success and I am home. In a lot of pain, I'm actually requiring assistance transferring to and from other surfaces or standing. Update: After day 4 of my diet it got easier. I got a mind set of, "a little hard work and sacrifice always pays off". I will say I had to do things like leave my money at home when I went to work so I wouldn't be tempted to order out with everyone. But it worked, so I am happy that I went into surgery 10 lbs lighter. I can't wait to start this journey.

    May lap-band

    I should be able to be banded in or around June... what is the pre op diet? My doctor doesn't talk much about" what's to come"... he's a more" in the moment" kind.
