one-day-soon

She is does talk alot, I keep the volume down to plus I don't wont to wake up the house. I did the full 3mile this morning plus my evening walk outside.

Old habits die hard...I tried to eat some ww yogurt while driving home from work and the motion of the car made me nauseated. I can drink my Protein shake ok on the way to work. Anybody elese have issues like this?

I which I could burp still have gas pain in my left shoulder, banded 7/14. I don't have a bad taste either, maybe someone else will reply too. Good Luck

I did the full 3mile walk with Lesile S. this am and my afternoon walk, my 4 yr old son came alone. He walked /ran the route. I think he made me pick up my pace to keep up with him. Might have to take him along again, especially if it helpd him fall alseep quicker at night...

I walk with her every morning I only have time 2 do 2 miles and then after work, I walk in the neighborhood for 30min.

Thanks for all the post and the great ideas. I'm 3 wks post op today and I'm doing a walking tape in the mornings, 2mile in 3omin and I walk in the neighborhood in the evenings after work for another 30min. Hopefully next the soreness at the port site will be gone and I can start my Wii fit again.

I made myself walk after work today, I didn't feel like it. I had one of those days at work that I wanted to quit. But I came home cooked for the kids and had scramble eggs and cream of wheat for dinner and went for my walk. I am determine to make this work and It's only been 3 weeks and my body feels so much better. So as the say just but "one foot in front of the other" and soon your walk will be done.. While it works for me.

Hi! I was banaded July 14th. My port incision is still sore and I still have gas pains in my left shoulder from time to time. I went back to work after 12 days and I wished I had another week at home but I survivaed. I'm feeling more like myself now and I'm walking every day. I saw my doc on yesterday and was informent that I already have 4cc in my band. We I feel full I stop eating, this is my first week on pureed foods. I've prepared or bought regualr foods and chewed alot and took small bites. My doc said that was the best advice he could give me was to take small bites and chew while. He said if you take a regular bite or large bite and chew good it is still a large amount of food to pass through the band. Every day gets better...

I was banded on July 14th. I am still full liguid diet that started yesterday. It takes all day to get one protein shake down. I am full on one popcicle and almost stuffed on a cup of jello. I didn't have alot of gas pain but today did experience some gas in my left shoulder. It hurts to sit too long and I have a nice bruise at my port site. Otherwise I think I'm doing well. Good Luck to those being banded this week.

Tomorrow is my band day. I had such a hard day at work today I've had no time to be excited or nervous. Best of luck to everyone.

To everyone that is having the surgery tomorrow. I wish you good luck and a speedy recovery. I'm being banded on July 14th. My preop diet started on july 5th and I have experience some hungry headaches when I don't stay hydrates otherwise I not all tha hungery and doing good. I've lost a couple of lbs to boot. Have a great day!

Call your MD for clarification, you will find here that there is no set rule each doc is different. Congrats on being banded, I will officially be apart of the family on July 14th:thumbup:

Congrats on being banded. Sound like you are doing good. I hope your energy leave returns soon. You've got your hands full. I will be banded on July 14th. right around the corner.

"I am currently size 20 so I went and did a little shopping and bought a pair of size 16 skinny jeans as my first small goal. I hope to stay in touch with all you July banders to gain advice and support" Jerzeegator, I removed all of my winter clothes out of the clothes because I know by then they will be to big. Making remove for soon to be new purchases. I'm 2 days after you. Let's keep in touch.

Hi! Stared my Pre op diet today. Surgery on july 14th. I'm able to have 4 protein shakes a day 1 cup of salad and 1 cup of chicken broth for lunch and dinner. Good luck everybody

I'm from Katy, Tx I start my preop diet on July 5th and scheduled for surgery on July 14th by Dr Waggoner in Cypress. Excited and nervous.

My husband is retired and we have tricare in the south region. I had to appeal also in order to get approved. Once I sent in my letter that included my comorbities I was approved right away. My surg is July 14th. Good luck to those still trying to get approved.

I'm july 14th also. I was seen by the nutritionist and MD on 6/22. I start my clear liquid diet on july 7th.

Hi! I'm being banded on July 14th. Cypress, Tx I like all the previous mention names. July Freedom Fighters is my favorite.

Is anyone one else having surgery in Jly with Dr. Waggoner. I would love to have a band buddie

Has anyone started to reduce there caloric intake prior to the preop diet. I've been trying some of the Protein shakes, found some chewable caclium tablets, chewable Vitamins and statred to use them. Just trying to get ready. Anybody else? My sister told me that I shouldn't lose to much weight prior to surgery BMI 40.1 b/c they may thing I can do it on my own. What do you think? My Doc has not required me to lose weight preop.

I worked around the house today. Had to go to Walmart three times. Hanging some blinds in the family room. Air Conditioner went out upstairs so this TX heat is really being felt. Repairman coming tomorrow and not a day too so. Surgery date July 14th which is 5 days before my daughters 9th birthday, so I'm feeling a little guilty about having my surgery so close to her birthday, I'm not sure how I will feel or be up to having her a party. So that's my thought for today..

Sorry to hear that Latin_starr. Hang in there..

Has anyone tried the Nectar brand, it's just like Isopure but has a sweet taste. I mix it with water and it eas great. Found it at Vitamin Shoppee and it was cheaper than the Isopure powder.

Why don't you discuss this with your MD office, let us know how it turns out. Godd luck
