No Not Really. I am not on liquid anymore. I eat pretty healthy but I have eaten nachos at the movies or the little to go cups from Kfc. Just a little reward for myself. Do you feel?

Sounds like you are doing good.

Ok . Try to rest as much as possible. Did they give you any pain medication

Yeah mine was sore for a while. All of my incisions are sore still a little. Have you called your surgeon

Hello I am back at work at now eating some foods. I did eat a little fast yesterday and made myself sick. I am doing pretty well. I have more energy. I hope you feel better. Taking another week is a good idea. Just take your time. Everybody is different

I was looking for everyone that their Lap band surgery in December. I had my surgery December 23, 2014. I just went back to work today. I am now able to eat more that just liquids . I have lost 32 pounds so far still have a ways to go. I feel great though and looking forward to the New Smaller me. I am looking for people to connect with.

I am 6 days post opt and doing great. Still have a little pain from my hernia repair. I am not 202 pounds from 230. I am feeling great

I had my surgery yesterday. I am doing pretty well. I don't have any pain. I have been able to drink my protein and some chicken broth.

Good luck to you too. Hopefully I will you there tomorrow

That is the best way to break bad eating habits. It's amazing how many people here are going through the same surgeon. That is good. This side has been a really big support system for me.

Wow 2 days away, keep in touch with me and let me know how everything goes

I have 8 days until my surgery. I am on my pre opt diet a doing pretty well.

Hi Barb that sounds great. I am actually 8 days into my diet but it's not all liquid. I can have one small meal with a lean meat and one green vegetable and an apple. Then I can have sugar free Jello and popsicle. I have lost 7 pounds already so I am doing better than I thought. I still get nervous as the day draws near though. Which surgery are you having?

I have a surgery date of December 23, but still waiting on cigna. I want to know if anyone struggle with the pre opt diet

I have one last required test tomorrow (EDG) and the they will submit my paperwork and schedule surgery. I am just a little nervous now. I have never had surgery before and don't have kids either.

I have cigna too, and my paperwork was just submitted last week. I assume my patient advocate is expecting a fast approval because she already put me on my pre opt diet. I did lose 3 pound by my third weigh in and at my last weigh in I did not gain or lose weight.

Hello Sophie thank you for those words of encouragement. I will keep myself busy and drink fluids all day. Let me know how you are doing after your surgery

Are any of you doing your pre opt diet? I started mine yesterday and I am starving. What did you do to get through it.
