Hey Loveslady, Everything went well for me. I only have one incision! So I am really happy about that. I am pretty sore though I think most of it is gas pain. My liquid pain medicine is so nasty I try not to take it it makes me naesous. One thing I have noticed is that it is really sore when i take a deep breath. Is anybody else experiencing that?

I am wanting a last supper soooo bad!!! :thumbup: My doctor has me on clear liquids for the 3 days before surgery!! i am so over it. How much weight has everyone lost on there preop diets. I have lost about 10lbs.....I am so nervous that I haven't lost enough. I think i am just paranoid! i don't want anything to keep me form getting this surgery! I am soooo for all of us!!:mad2:

3 more days!! the 17th is the big day! I am so excited.. Just a little nervous just because I have never had surgery before. I have lost about 9-10lbs on liquids I feel like that is not enough. I have 3 days of clear liquids now so maybe that will help. Good luck to everybody having surgery the next couple days and congrats to all that have been banded! I can't wait to be a part of the bandsters!

Ok so this liquid diet is no fun. All of the sweet shakes are just not working for me.:blushing: I mean is it really ok for me to just have soup all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions for a full liquid diet that does not include sweet shakes.

Thats great news Ericka!!! I think we are all a little nervous but the excitement about my new life is out weighing the nervousness!! :thumbup: Are you on any type of pre op diet. It seems like the 17th is becoming a popular day! Look forward to being a part of your weight loss journey!!

Lol!! You can definitely say the pee pee pee thing again! :mad:

The dietician that I saw said the carnation instant breakfast (sugar free) shakes are good. THe didn't really push the protien shakes. Cream of chicken,tomato, and types of soups like that. Im sure I will get sick of all this of it at some point : ) But It will be worth it! I hope I helped some! Good Luck!

We need to keep in touch. Liquids hasn't been too bad today but I think 10 day will be a little tough. what type of shakes are you doing? Any suggestions?
