Hello! Sorry for the big delay in responding back, I've been busy and trying to take it easy and heal. I know were San Juan Capo :smile2: is! I used to live in Orange County. Still drive down and visit friends alot. I miss it there. Have you been banded yet?

lol That last part was great! Now when my time comes I'm going to be sitting in the bathroom laughing.

Thank you everyone for your response. I have a post-op appointment with my Doctor tomorrow so I will ask him about some milk of magnesia.

Did you guys start to go #2?? Sorry if it's TMI but I was banded on Friday and I haven't #2 yet is this normal. I'm guessing it would be since your not getting any food in but I was curious how long it took everyone else and did you have to take laxatives or fiber etc...

Whoa! Sounds alot like what I'm going through now. I was banded on Friday the 16th. I had a hernia repair done as well and sometimes I wonder if thats whats hurting me, don't think it's the port though then again I'm not sure. I was also wondering if the back pain was normal and I guess my question has been answered :tt2:

Hello! You'll have another follower to your few :confused:

Thank you so much for following :confused: The same will be done for you! I'm new at blogging so bear with me it'll get better with time. Good Luck on your Journey!

Same here. I started one today and like you if nobody follows my blog I'll keep doing it to help me through my journey.

Funny that you mention this cause this morning I was thinking about doing the same thing. But wasn't sure if anyone would follow it.

@dhigg68 - I guess the pre-op diet depends on your Doctor. But I'm sure you won't regret this surgery at all, just think of how great you'll feel at the end. Good Luck and Congratulations!

Penn, I can't wait to get under 200 lbs! Honestly I can't remember the last time I was under 200...pretty sad. It'll be intresting to go through a whole day without being hungry once, I'll probably Celebrate when that happens..lol Well good luck with your next approval and surgery

Good Luck!

@pennreporter - Yeah completely understandable it's one of the risks, guess it just depends on the person huh. I'm a worry wart thats a fact but I'm slowly feeling a little at ease with reading peoples entries on here. Looks like you've lost quite a lot, congratulations!! Can't wait to be on the losers bench!
