So..... I was with my mother last night ( I am single and she is taking me to the hospital and then I am going to go stay with my parents for a few days) she says.. here is the plan for Monday after your are discharged we are going to go to your sister's and make Christmas Cookies... WHAT????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I said.. well mother lets just play it by ear and see how I am feeling...I may just want to go home! Yes this is a busy time of year... but CHRISTMAS COOKIES....... I suppose I could just sleep it off at my sister's.. but I was like what the heck.....

I hope everything went well for the folks that had their surgery today! Let us know how you are doing!

Sounds like you are well! Congratulations!!!!!! I am 5 days away!

ME TOO! I had a dream that I forgot to shave my legs and grossed out the surgeon and he wouldn't do the surgery...... yikes

How is everybody feeling that is up the week of the 17th?

Hi there. I am an overeater..... First step to recovery is admittance right..... anyway... I hope with my band (which I get Monday.. :eek:) that the I am hungry ALL THE TIME will go away....... you are not alone for sure! :nervous

I hope all goes well!!!!!!!! Good luck!

I dreamed last night that I forgot to shave my legs and grossed out the surgeon and he wouldn't do my surgery,.... the games our minds play...

Man.... I have been pretty ok until last night/today. My surgery is one week from today. I went to the doc last week and he was pleased because I lost 11 lbs and he said I was right on track.... I have also been SUPER SUPER busy with a production of Wizard of OZ that ran the past three days..... all of a sudden yesterday I got this horrible knot in the pit of my stomach.. ya know... the holy S*#% knot...... this is going to be a long week.

My surgery date is December 17th as well. Make sure you jump over to the monthly support groups and join the Merrry Bandsters. Good luck to you both!

I totally understand....mine have started coming back up (TMI,sorry) luckly I go for a check-in with the doc tomorrow....... You are not alone!

Two weeks from today it will all be over.. I might even be home by this time....(I am first on the 17th) :faint:

Two weeks from today it will all be over.... TWO weeks AAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is if this GROSS pre-liquid diet crap doesn't kill me first.....:faint:

I was SHOCKED by the Aussie Fries too..... 4 or 5 of us will split them before our meal... that is a HUGE appetizer! Won't eat that again!

Hi all. I found this link on MSN that goes through the worst going out to eat food and places in America. I found it interesting! The 20 worst foods in America - Health - MSNBC.com

Hi all. I am sick to my stomach in the morning after drinking my shake and eating my bar. It usually passes by 10ish. Anybody else? Also..., I eat at 7 and about 11 (I am a teacher so that is the time) and then I die between 11 and dinner at 5.... I am ok the rest of the day..... it seems that 11 to 5 span is REALLY long..... anybody else have this problem?:help:

So I started my liquid diet yesterday.... it isn't great.. but doable.... I am on it for a month... which was my decision (doc requires two weeks) Which leads to my question.... do you think I could have ONE real meal a week (high in protein and low in fat and carbs of course) It is day two and I miss real food already and I think that if I could have one real meal a week it would give me something to work towards... thoughts?

BELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to vent. I started my pre-op liquid diet this morning.... SO naturally I ate whatever and how much ever I wanted to this weekend. My grandmother was with me Saturday. I have something like 3 candy bars (the bite side Halloweenesque ones) and then dinner. So she goes to my mother on Sunday and says... Kelly ate so much on Saturday and I don't think she is serious about this. She should have been eating less (which I have done the 5 weeks prior to this since finding out about my surgery) and that would make the transition into the pre-op diet so much easier. I don't think she is serious and can do this. WHAT THE HELL. I love my grandmother... but right now I could drop kick her. This is the first time I have received any resistance from anybody and frankly it pi$&)$ me off. :heh::scared: Vent over.

I just had my 3 hour nutrition stuff yesterday (overwhelming I must admit) and my doc says one week liquids and 3 mushies.... she said though that some people get sick at the sight and smell of pureed chicken and chose just to chew a million times before swallowing.... me I think I will stick with cottage cheese and yogurt.... another interesting note is that my doc says THREE MEALS a day and that is all..... helps to develop better habits for later in life....

Sounds like it might be Acid Reflux/GERD

Wow... I am getting banded on 12/17... I think I better stop reading this thread!

I am getting banded on 12/17 and am working with my doctor to make payment arrangements on about the $3000 I will have to pay. Good luck.

thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!! Seems like the averages are low... mine WILL be much higher! :clap2:
