Funny this was mentioned to day.. Lots of food around.. I was banded on January 13th.. I too would take bites of things and spit them in a napkin.. There was this yummy 7 layer dip I would take a chip suck off the dip(healthy version of the dip) and would throw away the chip lol.. I got through it though.. Tomorrow is a new day..

I agree it takes me forever to eat .. I savor every little bit of it hehe the dr told me at this point I should only be eating a cup of food at a time ..

Well I am still on liquid/mushies and even before now I have not been much of a breakfast person, I go with the sf carnation instant breakfast in the morning and usually gets me to lunch but sometimes i will have some yogurt if I cant make it.

Good to hear you are on the mend. I think this pain med is making me feel sick so tomorrow I am going to quit taking it and see how I feel..

Thank you I think that will help :w00t:

Well thank you..

Can we have unsweetend applesauce. I am very constipated what other foods would help with that? :w00t: I guess I should say I was just banded on the 13th so I am still on liquid diet.

Hang in there Just Ice.. I felt like this surgery was very painful too depends on who you talk to I still have gas pain and i can feel pain where the port is .. I hope you get to feeling better soon...

Well I was banded on the 13th.. I was really scared at first but I am glad I went through with it. THey also took my gallbladder out and repaired my hital hernia . I have had a lot of pain but I have been moving around quite a bit. How is everyone else.

Surgery at 9 Its finally here good luck to all of you talk to you soon.. I am sure we will all have wonderful stories to tell.. :thumbup:

Hi everyone I am being banded on the 13th at 9 am I am so scared and hungry at this point.. I have lost like 6 or 7 lbs I hope that I have lost enough I guess I have 2 more days to go. I have been faithful to the diet except the chicken nugget I hate ugh.. What a lapse in judgement.. anyway good luck to all of you..

AAAh thank you I told my boyfriend that I was eating pizza as I was drinking an instant breakfast we got a laugh.. Day one is under my belt.. I believe I can do this.. thanks for the support..:blushing:

Today was my first day.. its dinner time and I am starving and my son and boyfriend and his daughter are going to eat pizza.. ugh.. I want to cry.. I have been occupying my self all day..

Hi I am start my preop diet on the third.. I am excited because it means I am so much closer to getting the band but I am nervous because I need to stay strong at work I work at Taco Bell.. I will bring my liquids with me if coarse just getting a little nervous and scared now.. :biggrin:

Congrats to you I will be banded on January 13th in Omaha Nebraska..

Hi I am Becky I will be banded on January 13th 2010. I am so very excited. I have my head into this and I am ready. I am very nervous also.

my insurance required me to do 6 months of nutritional counseling with my family dr before they would approve me.

after the long six mont journey I finally got approved by aetna.. My first consult with my Dr is on December 15th .I am so excited.

I also have aetna at first I was denied and told to do six months of nutrition counseling missed one month my grandma had passed away and was told I had to start over so I did that and finished my last month 2 weeks ago and they are sumitting the paperwork again my fingers are crossed I sure hope this all works out for me.. :drool:
