Hey there!!! Just checking in to see how your surgery went!!! I spent last night in the hospital, I was pretty comfortable with the morphine drip, hahaha, I'm on liquid percoset now and it doesn't really compare to the morphine, I'm pretty sore, and itchy, but I barely have any gas so thats good. Let me know how your doing!!

Thanks!!! I've actually managed to loose some more weight, I don't really see it or feel it, I'm guessing its jsut water weight. I came home from the hospital today and am really sore and itchy, I can't wait to just start feeling normal!!!!

Highest weight? or weight at surgery?
Allison replied to blackcherry2002's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm 5'2, a couple weeks ago I was 229, my highest weight ever, due to all the binge eating, I managed to get back to my starting weight, 225, and then continued dropping weight to 219 yesterday at surgery due to the 10 day liquid diet. Right now I'm really swollen and full of liquids so I haven't lost anymore, but I really hoping I can start loosing weight soon. I'm not even hungry, I've been nursing my one can of protein shake since I got home around noon! -
Hey there how is everything going!!? I just got home from the hospital this afternoon, I'm pretty sore but its nice to be back in my bed. Last night all night nurses kept coming into my room to give me all sorts of anti-nausea shots and morphine in my IV. Right now I'm starting to get really itchy too. Are your incisions really itchy as well??

Thanks TMFRITTS!!!!! I got home from my stay at the hospital a couple hours ago, I'm pretty sore, and starting to get reallllly itchy!!!!! I can't wait to start loosing weight. Right now I'm feeling really worried about eating, its like when I first got braces, I didn't eat any solid food for weeks because I was afraid they would fall off!!! Now its kind of the same feeling, I know I can't eat solid food for a while but I'm really nervous about something bad happening!!!!! I don't want my band to slip or anything! There is always something new to worry about lol. Thanks for the support! P.S. Good luck everyone being banded on these last two days of May!!!!

I know I'm so pumped! I just got my suregery done yesterday, I spent the night at the hospital and just got home a few hours ago. I was SO nervous at first but I barely remember anything after getting the sedative before the anasthesia, while I was filled with morphine I didn't have much pain, now that I'm home I'm pretty sore, but everything seems to be ok, your day is today right???? Good luck, I know you'll do great, its not too bad

What are you drinking? Liquid stage suggestions...
Allison replied to pinkdots410's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Elaine if you are doing a lot of weight training you usually put on weight before you loose it, because you are gaining muscle. Also if you are drinking things like juice and broths, juice has high amounts of sugar and broth has high amounts of sodium, both of which can hinder weight loss, sodium causes you to retain water as well, good luck with everything :sad: And like salsa said, right now just worry about healing your body. -
Yeah mine is at 10 am, I have to get there at 8 am, the nurse I met with at my pre-op visit to the hospital said they could give me a "happy pill" as soon as I get there. I am holding them to their word hahaha. I have to stay overnight so its gonna be a long day laying around in the hospital, but I'm sure I'll be so out of it I won't even notice haha, and my mom and my best friend are going to come with me, Good luck to you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll see you on the other side :smile2: !!

Allison replied to pinkdots410's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm trying to find some unflavored protein powder. Every type I find is either chocolate or vanilla and is for shakes. I want some I can add to everything. I'm supposed to get 60 g of protein in a day and the shakes I have been drinking are yummy (their the atkins chocolate ones) but they don't have as much protein as I need, So I figured I would find some unflavored I can add to soup and yogurt and pudding, etc. -
Yay only today then tomorrow left!!!!!!! Thank god I don't think I could starve on this liquid diet any longer!!!!! Hopefully my band will help with these hunger pangs!!! Good luck everyone with dates coming up!!!!!!!
-
Good luck with your fill tomorrow!!!! I can't believe you've all been banded for almost a month!!!! Congrats!!!

1st day on Pre-Op & I already cheated.
Allison replied to SydneyLouWho's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can't wait for this pre-op diet to be over!!!! This has to be the hardest part, because we are still our normal, hungry selves!!!!! Once I have my band I'm hoping it controls these hunger pangs a little bit! I was good for all my diet except when I went out for dinner with my whole family while I was on vacation, I got the kids pasta, I couldn't not get something to eat and was DYING for somthing real. That was a few days ago and I've been trying to be SUPER good since then. Only today, then tomorrow left!!!!!!!! I can't believe my surgery is on Thursday!! Woohoo!!!! -
Hey bandfan! Hope your first fill went well today!!!! I can't believe only 2 days left! Good luck to everyone with dates coming up as well!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Thanks Jessica! You have definately been on my mind lately!!! Make sure you stop in once and a while and let everyone know how your doing! I'll make sure to keep in touch, good luck with everything!
