the nausea is mild, I think its from sinus drainage. But all the sugar free things are making me go ick. I have not had sugar substitutes in over a year, now I am eating them and they are just soo sweet. I think I might stick with the broth's, ice, and water for a while today. No more sugary tasting stuff.

How did you get past the nausea? I woke up this morning feeling fine, now I'm gassy and nauseated. And this broth is just not cutting it. :/

I'm home today! I feel partially human, but the gas is kicking my tushie!! One thing for sure, broth and popsicles are my BEST FRIEND!! I'm starving though, well until I eat a popsicle then I am full for about 10 minutes..lol then I'm hungry all over again. When should I start on stage 2 diet? I would hurt someone for some yogurt..lol but I'm still sore and I do not want to push it at all... I guess just talking about it makes me feel better and makes me not want to screw it up, so I am going to stick to the clear liquid diet for at least another day until the soreness goes away.

I was banded yesterday caitlinmary17, I would love a buddy to do this with!

Today makes day 2 of my liquid diet. I stayed over night in the hospital last night after the surgery. Today I am home and I am starving.. I think. Im still sore and gassy but I question is when do you start stage 2? I tell myself I am going to wait a few more days and just stay on the clear liquid diet but the hungry side of me wants yogurt, or sf pudding, or a Protein shake..lol I go Thursday to my post op Dr. visit. Any suggestions?

Congratulations!!

Thanks everyone! I can honestly say I feel much better than I did yesterday! Just sore today. Inside and out.. Lol but more outside than in.

Hey Lisa, I'll be honest with you, it hurts like hell!! But I have no regrets. Today I'm feeling better and I'm still glad I did it. I had to, otherwise I was afraid I was going to kill myself with my weight. Some have the surgery and have no problems, I just had severe nausea with the gas. Moving and walking helps helps HELPS! DON'T let my post scare you! I regret nothing! I'm just a big old baby sometimes when it comes to pain. Add me as a friend we can so this together

I'm feeling so much better today. I'm sore but I don't feel like I did yesterday. I'm having the best breakfast of beef broth, Popsicles, jello!! The Popsicles is the most most most amazing thing. Moving helps you burp and pass gas which makes you feel way better too!

I did it today. Today was my surgery date. I'm in a lot of pain w nausea and I was dry heaving earlier. So I am staying overnight. Walking feels good but it makes me lightheaded and nauseated but I'm starting to feel better. Would I do it again? Ask me in a week. But I am glad it's over and I'm starting the next best journey of my life

I've been out of surgery for 6 hours. I had bad nausea and kep dry heaving. I hurt like a mofo and any I feel like someone punched me several times in the stomach. I'm staying over night because of the ďry heaves and coughing/gagging fits. Would I do it again? ask me in about a week lol

We are on our way to the hospital. Between the butterflies, burping and gas. (from nerves) I am my own winding. haha Ready to begin my journey!

what happened?

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I have butterflies in my tummy, and I'm excited and nervous. I am about to go pack my bag (its just a day surgery, no overnight), but I'm bringing a pillow for the car, my Pj's, a pair of socks, chapstick, my charger (just in case I do end up staying), my headphones to go with my phone, and of course me! I am ready here too; I have my liquid Tylenol, 2 boxes of gas-x strips, heating pad, cold compress thing, sf Jello, sf popsicles, broth, cream of Soups, and my friend just bought me a bullet I have my measuring cups and spoons, (2 sets each) and my small divided plates. I feel like I am forgetting something! Any suggestions? Helpful hints? Words of wisdom? aacck Im nervous!

Name: Felecia Where are you located? Brazoria, I'm about an hour South West of Houston When did/do you get your band? Thursday! June 6th What do you like/look forward to do(ing) for exercise? I like playing on my Wii, I like to watch movies and walk on my treadmill, but right now I'm not doing much of nothing. My legs and feet hurt so bad because of the weight I am carrying I kinda limp everywhere What's your fave thing to eat? Anything sweet or anything carby... I love rolls, home made bread, Pasta, chinese food, oh and salad! Fave music groups/artists/types? I like rap/hip hop, rock, 80's music, 90's music, and some current pop. What are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to not being so tired, not being so miserable, my feet and my legs not hurting when I finally take pressure off them and lay down, not getting winded when I do something simple, being able to buy cute clothing without worrying about having to find the BIGGEST SIZE and hoping it still fits. I am also looking forward to being able to feel full. Anything else you want to tell us? I LOVE audio books..lol

A friend of mine is getting me one for my ''journey'' as she likes to say She had gastric bypass and said her bullet was her lifesaver! So I am excited about getting it

Just wanted to start off with a quick hello! My name is Felecia, and I am having my surgery June 6th. I am nervous, I am excited, I am terrified! I am ready to start this journey as long as I don't think too much about it. When I start thinking about it I freak myself out, begin to have second thoughts, and generally freeze up like a deer in headlights. Anyways please introduce yourself and feel free to talk about anything! From why you are doing this, fears, excitement, etc. Just anything!! Thanks! F.

I go in Thursday for my surgery and my doctor is not requiring a pre-op diet. I am doing one anyways but my has only been for 4 days. When I asked him about the pre-op diet he said there was no need.

My surgery is this Thursday. I was not required by my Dr. to do a pre-op surgery but I did/doing one anyways...smh Im nervous and HUNGRY..lol but I think I am hungry because I am use to eating entirely more than what I am eating at this moment. I know my stomach says its full, but my brain is not quite catching it. I have been drinking a lot of water too!! Good Luck everyone!

hahahaha I was wondering the same thing!! Thanks for asking allisontom911 and Thanks for answering Can_do!!

Congratulations!! and I think congrats on not losing the bra size? I'm worried about losing mine, I think I am the only big girl in the world who has B cup ta-ta's!

I don't know what to tell you other than you are human. Pick yourself up, don't beat yourself up and go back to the diet. I have 3 more days until surgery and my Dr. is not giving a pre-op diet. But I have put myself on one anyways, I cant say I have been 100 % but I can say its better than how I normally eat. Good luck!!

In the fridge?? humm.. Make sure to throw them in the dryer before you try them on!!!

My surgery is June 6th.. Yes anxiety is there.
