Kimturk71 and lzj21248, my surgery is also tomorrow morning at 8:30AM.:smile2: It is nice to know that we are all in there together. I don't know about you but I haven't been too nervous yet, just very anxious. I wish you both the best of luck and we will have to compare stories when it is all over. :blushing:

Until then,

Sarah

Hello everyone 4 days out and feeling pretty good. I would like to know what everyones eating right after surgery?

I have no appetite at all. I am drinking crystal light, apple juice 1/2 & 1/2 Water. juicie-juice, protien drinks, . No pain pills, sleepy more then usually. When I get tired I lay down. Been getting up at 4-5 am in morning just to walk around in the house, feel good. Can't sleep.

Hi Cherie, I was operated on the day after you. Feeling really good, and like you, no appetite at all....which is fine by me! I'm having Optifast shake for Breakfast, a little bit of pear juice, diet soft drink and mineral water. I had some cream of chicken Soup for dinner last night, because I thought I should, rather than wanting anything. Still a bit bloated, and no BM as yet, (that's what the pear juice is for) and this morning I put some fibre powder into my shake....we'll see how that goes. It is just so strange, to not feel any hunger! Best wishes, Kerry

Surgury Monday 10/25 5:00 pm UC Irvine. I will be spending the night, so I will check in Tuesday when I get home. I wish everyone good luck and a speedy recovery. I took a week off from work to heal and I am hopeful to return to work next week. if I am not ready I will take another week if I have to in order to feel better. Blair

Well, the day has finally arrived. I will be heading out soon for the surgery center. I don't feel nervous or scared. It's almost like I don't feel anything. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Good luck to all my fellow 10/25 bandsters!!! Hope to hear everyone's story within the next couple of days.

And good luck to all the other future October peeps.

Say a prayer.

Nina

Cherie,

I was banded Oct 12th and I felt just like you. I didn't have any appetite and my hubby had to make me get in my Water and shakes for Protein. I didn't even want my crystal light at first. I was also very sleepy.

Sure! We all need all the support we can get. I was going nuts on this diet, but I adapted it to fit my needs, being allowed RAW veggies, I didn't see a problem cooking them. So once a day I eat low fat low carb veggies in some form.

Had a really bad day today, had anxiety attack about dying during surgery. Most days I'm good, but once in a while it gets to me. Best of luck!
