Wishing everyone a very nice weekend!!

How're you doing? Have you started eating soft foods yet? I can't wait until I can eat solids again. I'm doing okay but still a little sore around the port site.

Hope all is well with you.

Started the pre op liquid diet on 9/16 and now have a cold, sore throat and nausea. It hurts to swallow anything. I'm hoping to be all better before my surgery date on 9/30.

Slept on my back last night, propped up on a couple of pillows; it wasn't the most comfortable position so I tossed and turned all night, however, I woke up without any pain - yeah! Guess it'll be a while before I get to sleep on my side or stomach.

Woke up at 3:30am and stomach felt empty. I felt a bit nauseated so sipped a 4oz of apple juice and went back to bed. For breakfast I ate 4oz of soy nf peach yogurt and sipped 4 oz of plain soy milk. It took me an 1.5 hrs to get that all in.

Hi Jackie, are you familiar with the "My lapband journey" website? They have a few animated video's on pre and post surgery that I found helpful. They also have testimonial videos. Not sure if you have to be a member (I don't think so) but if you're interested the website is: www.lapband.com

Hope you're having a great day.

Today was a good day. Sat in my PJ's watched movies and sipped my liquids all day. Feelin pretty good so far.

Glad to hear you’re doing better. I understand what you mean by having trouble getting the protein and liquid in. I feel full all the time to and from what I’ve read on this site it’s only temporary and the hunger will return.

I’m sorry about your nausea. I take a couple of crushed meds during the day too. I try to take it with something other than water and although I’m not nauseas I feel like there’s always a huge air bubble in my stomach.

My next Dr. appt is set for 10/25. Let me know how your appt goes.

Hi Jackie, I've been thinking about you, how're you doing? Have you met with the specialist yet? I hope things are okay.

Got my first band adjustment today, 3.5cc's. I feel restriction again! Ahhh!

Feeling great, clothes are fitting better and I'm wearing my high heels again. Even my feet have slimmed some. LOL

Yesterday was a good day, walked a total of 3 miles.

Hi Nooshie, not sure if you'll remember me but I met you back in July at the LB support group. I was banded on 9/30 and am doing well. Hope you'll accept my friend request. See you at the next meeting.

I got on the scale today...I don't like what I see, LOL. Didn't gain but didn't lose either. I know it'll take time before the weight starts to shed but I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Maybe I'm still swollen? I hope so...let's see what the scale says on Thursday, one week post-op.

Hi Jackie, your big day is almost here!! Are you getting excited? I wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so happy for you and can't wait to hear how it all went. Please send me a message once you are able.

God Bless!

What a beautiful picture! Thanks for accepting my friendship request. When do you start your pre-op liquid diet?

Had to put my treadmill in the garage to make room for the christmas tree. I figured I'd walk around the block or school field...sad to say, that hasn't happened yet.

Bringing in the treadmill, it's time to start working out again.

I'm going in for my 2nd fill today.
