yay i finally weigh less then when i started. only one pound but hey i take it! how are you doing?

Ok so I weighed myself this morning and I am now a pound lighter then when I started. I am going to make Sundays my weigh in day. What day are you weighing yourself? This book that I have that I am journaling in, is set up for me to weigh on sundays. Damn I feel weird with no caffeine. 5 days of no caffeine. I have not gone this long in ten years.

Sorry to hear about your cold. Yeah i can imagine how sore that must make you feel. Even just laughing i wince. March 17th is my birthday! i will be 27 that day. St. Patty's Day. 10 more days of liquid diet. Sucks. Are you on mushies yet?

So i had no pre op diet and got banded on 2/25. I gained 5 pounds and have since lost a few but i am still 2.5 pounds over where i started from. is this bandster hell? will i start losing pretty soon?

Yes they gave me liquid vicoden. i am feeling much better today. my mom took me to some medical store and we got a stomach support band which has helped me so much. its like holding everything in place. i got full at lunch just now off of broth and sugar free jello which was encouraging. i weighed myself last night and i had gained 5 pounds! so i asked people on here if that is normal and everyone said yes it is normal that i am full of IV liquids and it will steadily come off in the next few days..did you experience that?

hi this is my fourth day post op and i feel much better today then yesterday. I still cannot dress myself without any pain. I am not wearing a bra still but i feel much better. I was surprised because i actually felt full today after having a bowl of broth and a sugar free jello for lunch.

Hey, i am at my parents house right now. i am in a lot of pain. i stayed at the hospital until 7pm last night. i dont know if i am a wuss or what but i cant dress myself or bathe myself or anything. i have this terrible sharp pain that is excrutiating! i dont have bad gas pains though knock on wood. how are you doing?

i am in bandland now! i am struggling though. i am in a lot of pain. i stayed at the hospital until 7 pm last night. i cant dress myself or bathe myself either. was it like that for you? i mean i am in some pain!

OMG i am leaving my house now!!!! ill talk to you tomorrow!!! xoxox

Ok i am leaving my house now. OMG. hope work goes ok for you, ill talk to you tomorrow.

well damn i am starving. only on day two of liquids. sucks!!! tomorrow is my big day. i have to be at the hospital at 530am and my surgery will be at 730am. how are you doing?

Ok well tomorrow is my big day. Tomorrow morning i have to be there at 530 and my surgery is at 730. oh my god. i cant believe its here now. since last april i have been trying. like i really cant believe it. it has not hit me yet. how are you doing? i am on day two of liquids and it sucks. big time. i am hungry. two days down and twelve to go. ick.

Hi, ya i am ready. i am waiting to get nervous. i think i am a little bit but not too bad. i am on day two of the liquid diet and it sucks big time. how are you doing on it? my surgery is tomorrow at 730 and i have to be there at 530am. how much longer for you until you can eat mushies? someone else that i am talking to on here is having a terrible time reintroducing solids. constantly getting stuck and throwing up. i hope its not like that for us!

well i was kind of hoping to hear from you before my day tomorrow. i gotta be at the hospital at 530 and my surgery is at 730. i am starting to get a little bit nervous. i hope you are doing well...

Hi my surgery date is 2/25 also. What time is your surgery at? I started the liquid diet today. It is ok so far. Just taking it one day at a time. Are you nervous? Are you staying the night?

i went on a trip this weekend that i go on every year and ate and ate and ate lol... i start my liquid diet tomorrow. BOO HOO HOO!!! So not looking forward to it. How are you doing? Whats going on?

well thats cool. i am staying the night regardless. i asked if since my surgery is so damn early if i get restless can i leave and they said absolutely. but my dear mother is insisting that i stay so... i guess i will - why not? i am getting excited yes. so are you taking anything for the gas pains? i notice in your pics that your man and his mom are your support group. what about your fam?

whats up with you? hows it going? i started a high protein diet and am drinking two protein shakes a day as meal replacements on my own just to get used to it. dropped 6.5 pounds in three days. crazy.... how is your recovery going? how was it staying the night? i am set for wednesday morning at 730am and check in at 530am. OMG it is finally happening i cant believe it.

yay i am so excited for you! i am down 6.5 pounds in two days. i am doing these protein shakes from costco for breakfast and lunch and a protein dinner. last night i made chicken breasts and green beans. i was hungry later so i had a spoonful of peanut butter. i am doing this by choice to get a jump start. today i am going to go have sushi for the last time at my favorite restaurant. my man and i are regulars there and have our own chopsticks and everything. boo hoo hoo... 6 more days...

wow so i have felt my stomach growl the past few days. i hate the hungry feeling so i am constantly drinking something or snacking to make it stop. but since i have been doing protein shakes for breakfast and lunch i am feeling it. today was better then yesterday. i guess the skinny people get that feeling all the time . so do you have myspace or facebook?

Yeah i was told that for the first two weeks its liquid and no fruit. But someone i met on here who was banded by the same surgeon said that he told her she can do mushies after 10 days. my man is doing it with me for the first two days.

so monday morning i have my pre op lab testing at 10am and then my surgery is at 730am. i have to be there at 530 to check in. i am the first one of the day. thats good. they said its subject to change if something comes up. YIKES!!!! in exactly one week i will be banded!!!!

Good morning! One more week for me! Three more days of work. I cannot believe it. How's it going for you? Are you starving on the liquid diet? I am soooo nervous to start that.

Wow - one week exactly! Three days left of work. This is getting crazy... Vday was good. My boyfriend and I actually went to San Dimas to this steakhouse we love and then we stayed at an Inn that they have there. We went to Dennys the next morning and came home. It was really good. 18 more days for you!

Did you add fruit right after the surgery also? I ate mostly protein yesterday. I am going to try to do that until the surgery. My boyfriend is going to do a liquid diet with me the two days before the surgery. Pretty cool.

Oh thats great! Must have been an old comment or something. I am getting banded on february 25 so next Wednesday
