I have surgery in a few hours and am so anxious, I only got about 2 hours of sleep which I'm sure I'll regret. No pre-diets required, only no food or liquids after 12. For some reason I keep thinking about that double strawberry cream ice cream I passed on after dinner. Regretting it now. It's gonna be a while bebore I'll be able to have that again. Been up reading all kinds of threads here and laughing to myself about my mother's attempt this morning to find out how much I actually weigh. I refused to tell her because she's sure to use that info in some kind of hurtful way. She couldn't believe I wouldn't tell her. Ha! Ha! Gonna try to get an hour or 2 sleep (on my stomach) cause I won't be able to. Naturally a belly sleeper. Will fill you guys in later on how everything went. Must remember to bring my camera to document it. Goodbye and Good Morning.

Congrats ! Welcome to the other side.

congratulations..........well done, cant wait to see how well u do. Im getting my op on the 11th July and finding it difficult to sleep already....got my thyroid checked today and had to up my med to 100mg from 75mg...im underactive......just hoping this wont stop my op from going ahead.......well im really happy for your that all went well xxxxx

Surgery went very well. On my way home as son as hubby comes out from pharmacy w/my meds. Feeling that gassy feeling in my left shoulder and a little sore around port, but otherwise pretty good. It hurts when I laugh. Can't wait toget home and have some chicken broth.

Home now. Took my meds, was only able to drink about 2 onces of broth, now I'm gonna try to get some sleep.

Had surgery 3 days ago and am tired of liquid diet already. Well not sick and tired of it yet, but just tired. More like bored I should say. How much Jello, Soup broth can you eat/drink. Weighed myself today and I'd lost 3 1/2 lbs since I last weighed myself 2 weeks before surgery. I know I gained weight since my last weigh in because I was eating everything I could since I knew it was the last hoorah. I had pizza, steak, lamb chops, corn, macaroni salad, ribs, shrimp, everything I knew I would not be eating for a while without any hesitation. I had to have gained at least 3 lbs since I'd last seen my doctor, which is why I believe I've lost more than 3 1/2 pounds since my last weigh in. They didn't weigh me on surgery day. Anyway, I'm sure its all water weight, but a pound is a pound is a pound. I'll take any weight loss. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, and now I can feel where my port is much better. My husband went food shopping right before surgery and managed to get the worse, most tempting items. There are so many temptations, and everything is high in calories. I've been bad and did cheat by chewing a teaspoon worth of scrambled eggs, meat, etc. and NOT swallowing it, but spitting it completely out, juices and all. (i know its disgusting) I've done this about 6 times since yesterday. Just really craving texture other than Jello at this point. Otherwise its just been chicken broth, crystal lite juice, and jello for me. I've been going to bed early, around 8:30 or 9 pm, which helps me alot. If I'm not up late, I'm not craving those snacks at night. Having my daughter to help me with the baby is a blessing, even though he kicked me in my stomach today by mistake. I feel good otherwise. It doesn't hurt as much when I bend or try to stand up. I am so happy to be banded right. I just wanna dance. Its gonna be a tough road I know, but I don't care. Got all of my sugar free, reduced fat crackers, foods, etc. for when I am finally able to eat regular food. I can't wait. I've had enough of the liquid stuff, but gotta do it. Talk to you so0n

Oh yeah, coughing has been a challenge, but its easier now.

My cousin licked Doritos because she wanted some other favor...lol. Congrats on getting banded and best wishes to you. Keep us posted. I hope to be a part of the banded crew in Aug.

I know chewing and spitting is considered a disorder, but whatever! I did it a few times, and haven't since. I'm not nor will I ever gonna laxatives, and I definitely won't make myself throw up because I ate something I wasn't suppose to. I'm trying my best to stay on the wagon thats all. So anyone trying to psycho analyze stop it. Everyone deals with things. differently. It was something that helped me at the time. I wanted to feel the texture of something other than Jello. Anyway licking Doritos is funny too.
