dm5201: Thank you for your answer: Yes, all Dr's requiremtns are different. I had my surgery yesterday and came home last night. It went very well and my stomach is very sore this morning. I am on now all liquids which include potein drinks, v-8 and tomato soup for two weeks. I lost about 20 lbs on the pre-surgery diet. (cheated once) So now I am within 60 lbs of my goal.

dm5201: If you had surgery on the 24th of August, wouldn't you still be on liquids? (pizza ?)

Just wondering what foods can't you eat after being banded? My Dr. said steak, breads, nuts and pop corn are a no-no.

I getting done next friday and was wondering how you felt when you woke up from surgery. I saw my Dr. yesterday and he has done about 900 of these.

Saw the Dr. yesterday and he said no problem.

I am on skim milk and crystal light for two weeks. I wish I could have a protein shake. I lost 9 pounds the first three days. These two weeks are the toughest. I have surgery on Sept 10. My goal is 225 pounds and my current weight is 289. Highest has been 308.

I am scheduled for surgery on Sept 10 and have noticed a small infection on my little toe. I beleived I cut my toenail to short and I started soaking it in hot water. Did anyone have their surgery rescheduled to something like this? I see my Doctor next week and will let him know.
