one of the things i was told not to drink are those breakfast drinks.i was told i should drink things low in sugar, low in carb high in Protein such as EAS or Atkins Protein Drinks. Ask the doc about the breakfast drinks. or the dietian

well, i am banded. i went through that phase of "why did I do this"?I went through that on day 2 . Day two was so so bad. I had to get my pain meds under control. I could not follow the every 4 hours. My tolerence for pain is really low. So Doc told me to take some motrin and the ainkillers every 3 hours. I felt so much better. So im 5 lbs down from preopt 303lbs now 298lbs. I am hapy I did it. and as the days go on i know it will get even better. Trying to get that 50 grams of proetin in thats another story.:thumbup:

Well, I was banded on May 13 at 10:15am. When I woke up everything was ok. my pain medication was working. i Slept most of day One. The second day I was scheduled to go home. They took me off the morphine pump and that began my spiral down. I went home day 2 at around 4:30pm. I got my pain meds at around 6:51pm. I took 2 delatin .. (think its spelled that way) and was in so much pain. I could not get comfortable, i was sweating . I was being a real bitch to my fiancee. the pain was just so bad. At around 10pm i just could not take it anymore. I ad to call the doctore. I told him about all of my pain and I could not even sleep . He recommended i get some motrin and take the pain killersw every three hours instead of every 4 hours. Ohh my gosh once i took that pain regimen i was able to sleep and became a much nicer person. I realize my pain tolerance is low. I have never had children and never had surgery before being banded. Well im 5lbs down from preopt weight.:thumbup:

What time is your surgery? ANGELSOUL?

Im going to be banded tomorrow at 10:15 i have to be at the hospital at 8:15. I did not have to do a bowel prep though. Sounds a little nasty. I am so excited and nervous but more excited.

Congradulations! Im keeing my fingers crosed

I am 28 years old. I weigh 302lbs. I have been overweight aLL my life. i live in MD. I am scheduled to have lapband sugery tomorrow @ 10:15am. Ill keep in touch!

I am so excited . i will be banded this time tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for 10:15 am. i have filled out my paperwork in case it doesnt go well. I have packed my overnight back I have stopped eatting for the night. I think I need to drink more Water thought. I always have a problem with finding my veins. So I hope if i drink a lot of water it will be alot better. well wish me good luck!:wink2:

Yes, I am in Glen Burnie, MD. I am going to be banded tomorrow at St. Agnes Hospital.

I have always been a fat kid. I was born 9lbs. I was destined to be big until now!

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. The time is now to take control of my weight. I will keep everyone updated on my progress.

I told everyone about my decision. I am in sales and I have to take people out to eat and i will not be able to eat the way I use to. So i told some of my clients that I do take out to lunch. I told my family because I wanted their support. At first they were not supportive but they are coming around. But for me i cant hold Water. So i knew I would tell people. and when people see me after my weight loss I know they will ask.

Well I will be banded on May 13th. I can't belive that the day is so close. i have been overweight all my life. I have never seen myself thin. I am a little nervous, as well as afraid of failing. Im very excited though. i feel like its my first day of school and i have to have all my clothes in order and everything ready for tuesday. I read that some people did not tell people but i have told alot of my friends and family. I hope that I dont regret that later.

I have never had surgery before. I hope my day after is not really painful. how do they give you pain killers to take hope are they in liquid form? well wish me good luck!

I have always been told the same thing ohh you have such a pretty face. well i guess the rest of me wasnt so pretty. But i hope that i dont lose my friends. I have always been that outgoing friendly girl. I have supportive friends. Just hope it doesnt change when i am 150lbs lighter.

This is a question i have been to embarrassed to ask at the suppport group so I hope people will give me some feed back> has any had a problem performing oral sex after they were banded. I'm afraid that it will be something I can no longer do for my Fiance because of the gag reflex. Has anyone had any issues in that department since being banded? :welldoneclap:

Im really glad that you are talking :rolleyes2:about the first week after bandind My surgery is scheduled for MAy 13th i am kind of nervous but very excited about the insurance company approving my surgery.

Congradulations. I am Scheduled for MAy 13th. I am so excited. A little nervous too.
