I was banded on 3/12 and I am about ready to die from the constant growling, I cant stand the isopure it actually makes me gag. I just sent my husband to the store to get me something with a little more protein in it. Any suggestions on how to get that nagging feeling away ? I am keeping pretty active but I am now to the point where I am feeling somewhat weak from the lack of food.

Congrats ... I have a full section of my closet that is non plus size clothing that I have bought over the last year. I am totally ready to be able to put on one of those pairs of pants and have it fit me I know that just being able to shop at a regular store is one of the greatest feelings yet and I am so happy for you!

So I am 4 days out of surgery with Dr. Teng and I have to say that I feel great. The gas is one thing, the diarrhea is another, but stepping on the scale and seeing the numbers drop by a full 6 lbs is just fan-freaking- tastic. I love going on this site and reading what others are going through, for once this wont be a single struggle for me. Also on a high note, my hubby has lost a total of 3 lbs in the last week as well, hes losing his sympathy weight that hes gained. Nothing like your wife not cooking huge meals to make a huge difference. :thumbup:

Clear liquid first week, Full liquid 2nd week ( can have oatmeal and such then babyfood kind ) after that it goes to mushies. He has an on site nutritionalist that we have to work with as well who will check with me in the first month, 3rd and 6th and then a year out I think. I am having some pudding right now ( not clear ) but my blood pressure meds are not agreeing with my stomach when there is nothing on it.

Hi Sherry, I was banded a day after you. Congrats !!! Sleeping has been something else for me too I cant stand sleeping on my back but it hurts too much to sleep on my side so i'm pretty much stuck.

I have had the worst case of gas today, went for a walk with my husband and was doubled over by the time I walked back in the house. I am looking forward to some semi solid foods because the pangs are starting to get to me.

Hi there, im in Vegas as well. Just banded on March 12, 2009. I went to Dr. Teng and hes just fantastic. Hope all goes well for you. shanya

I am only one day out and I am feeling great. I had a cardiac episode when I got up for the first time but since then I was running laps in the halls at the hospital. My Dr. said I was going to burn a hole in the floor. Just got home, ate some sugar free jello and veggie broth and a few sips of protein water and I am honestly full and ready to just go to sleep.

Good luck to you ... I am in Vegas as well. I am going to Dr. Teng out here, have you checked into Dr.s at all ?

Congrats on your surgery date. I am March 12th. ( if I kick this cold first)

I'm bringing my laptop and my cell phone that has tv on it. I still have work to do that day so my husbands going to bring it to me. P.j.'s for me since I am so tall, a snap front sports bra to hold the girls in, a ponytail holder and a small brush and my favorite pillow and small blanket ( I get cold very easily ) that's pretty much it for me.

Too funny, * in a bad way of course* My surgery date is March 12th and I got sick the day after my signing the paperwork. I am busting my butt trying to kick it before Monday morning so I can go in and do my labs. ugh ... I hope that you feel better as well.

Hey msperson... I am March 12th as well ... ( praying that I kick this cold that I got ) Congrats to you !!
