I was on NONONONONONO!!!! type of diet before,... he said eat nothing or drink nothing after midnight. the night before the surgery. that is all.

Im working on the High protien. they said abou 50-60 protiens a day does that sound like a lot???

:smile2: I went in for BAnd surgery Monday and woke up to find out NO BAND doc had some compications with my liver and after all the cuts all the pains... Im sitting here in my room with no band. He wants to wait 3 months and put me on a high protien diet and go back in If i feel still like I want to do this.. Im sooo bummmed I am depressed and I want to crawl into a hole.. ANY SUGGESTIONS..? ANYONE HEARD OF THAT..??? :smile2:

:sad:I went in to surgery nervous and ready when I woke up all my pains and cuts were for nothing.. the doc was unable to work around my enlarged liver with putting me in danger he said he did all he could do.. now Im all cut up paina dn sore everywhere ---to be put on a HIGH protien diet and wait 3 months.. Im so bummed I could crawl and hide in a hole If I fit! :behindsofa: He said it was up to me if I wanted to try again in 3 months ..... should I???? Im sooooooo upset.

My BMI is 68.9, I'm a 40 year old mom of 3 living with my BF of 8+ years after seperating from my ex after 13 years of a nightmare marriage. I'm really ready to get banded. Been a member here for 11 months now and that's how long I have been struggling with drs & Insurance to get approval.

It's been a frustrating time cause I am so eager to start losing weight. Been overweight all my adult life. Starting my senior year in HS where I gained the first 60 lbs cause we moved out of the country and into town where I wasn't spening all my time outdoors anymore. (moved cause of my dad was diagnosis with cancer and suddenly couldnt take care of our acrage) And having to care for my dad while mom worked. Its been a downhill battle since then.

Gaining and not losing after each kid and 2 miscarriges also, then a long stretch of severe depression thanks to my ex left me at a high of 650lbs. Now down to 440 and have been in the 400-450 range for the last 6 years. I'm tired of it and the scale not going any farther down, and ready to get back to a more normal life.

Thank you froggi1985 for creating this group as those of us with higher BMI's tend to have our own seperate issues with things that people with lower BMI's can't really empathize with truely(Most try though here) cause they haven't been there.

I know that you will have great success YOU have determination if you have gone from 650 to where youar now Just challenge your Insurance and will see the Rewards. I will say a prayer for you. I am going in for my surgery tomorrow and I am scared being 480+ I havent gotten on ascale it has been atleast 6 months.. so I know I have gained.. but I go in at 7am 6-9 and i know that it will be tough.. this forum really looks like a great bunch of friends that know what ONE is going through.

I know I just became a buddy but I am here to chat with any one.. that knows where Im coming from.

Good luck to everyone. and Thanks.

:thumbup:I will be praying for you and your wife.. My husband is to like you... we are going into the sugery center Today 6/9 at 7am.:tongue2:.. he doesnt know what to do he gave me a pedicure and was just very compssionate I know he is as nercous as I am. Just be ther for your wife.

Good luck in her weight loss..
