Good Morning Elizabeth,
I took a leave from work to take care of my health and thank God for giving the opportunity to do so. I was diagnosed with an incurable cancer in 2006 (Follicular Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) It has reamained stable for 5 yrs this coming Jan. God has given me the stenght to jump these hurdles as they cross my path.
I feel the same way about this forum. It really prepared me for "The Big Day" Aside from everyone being so informative & helpful they have been so nice and caring. I also need to listen to my body & right now its telling me to slow down a little. I feel really good these past couple of days but still tire easily. Im so used to always doing something. I need to sit back & embrace the new and different phases of this journey.
Im really glad your feeling better & able to enjoy your gogurt. I see my Dr. today for follow-up. Im hoping he lets me eat some yogurt cuz I get hungry & liquids not quite taking care of it.
Blessings,
Isabel

Good Morning Elizabeth (my Lap-Band twin) Hoping you are feeling better as each day goes by. Sat was my turning point where I started to feel good. Still on liquids but starting to feel hungry in the evenings. I see my Dr. on Tues. He did mention to me I wld start to feel hungry cuz no fill but Im sticking to my diet. Went to my cousins wedding shower and stayed for about 2 hrs. I did start to feel a little dizzy and when I got home I was completely exhausted, no energy at all. I cld not take my dogs on there evening walk. Woke up refreshed & feeling really blessed for having had the opportunity to have the lap-band. Im glad for this forum and finding people like yourself who are on the same journey. Looking forward to our journey together.
Have a beautiful & blessed day, Isabel

Glad to hear you are doing better but taking easy on the house cleaning. I dont know what I was thinking 2 days ago but ate some sugar free pudding and I paid for it big time. I did not think I was cheating but its not allowed till week 3. I was drugged up and I learned my lesson. today is Sat July 24, 6 days post-op and feeling so much better. I am sticking to my clear liquids. Im going to my cousins wedding shower. I will be prepared with my protein drinks etc. The smell of food smells good again and it will be a challenge to watch everyone eating all around me but Im excited & focused on the journey Im on and I already feel so much better than b4 the surgery. Wishing everyone a beautiful & succesful day.

I was banded on July 19th. A little sore get tired easily but day 1 was the worst for me due to the nausea(anesthesia) Not hungry at all. ice chips 1st day and 1/2 cp juice and some broth 2nd day. Had my 1st protein drink today but got me a little nauseated but just been sipping it very slowly. For those of you getting banded in nxt days the best of luck. Wishing everyone success on this journey we have decided to take. -
