I just wanted to start a March group. My surgery date is March 2nd.

Newme2012: how are you feeling now? I was banded on the 8th and still a little sore but I just feel blahhh! The weird "I wanna burp and it makes it to the top on my stomach then stops!" feeling is driving me nut! did you have that?

I am doing great. I can actually tell when I try to do too much though. Like bending to give my baby a bath, or vaccum cleaning. After doing both of those I had to take pain meds which I have not taken in 2 days. So a little sore at times. I to have that burping feeling like it gets stuck in my throat but never actually comes out. So I know the weird feeling....

Lol wow my date is 3/21 as well' date=' and my pre- op is very very very hard,

Dellaland try to stay busy and stay positive! You can do this' date=' just make sure you're getting enough protein. Hang in there, you can do it!![/quote']

Thank you I just have to stay focus I'm so close

I have just a little over 48 hours until my surgery. March 13th at 3pm. A little nervous, but ready. Have been doing pretty well with the pre-op diet. Really to get it over with and all the nervous waiting.

Hernia combo folks-

If you end up getting a hernia repaired go buy one of those velcro adjustable belts at the sports store. I don't know why it wasn't recommended but they help hold your guts in. You may need to buy 2 because u don't want it too tight. I used a little extra piece of Velcro. It said fits 50 inches. Nope. Just a thought. It helps tremendously I Even use it when I sleep so I can roll over and not be hurting. Hope that made sense

Here is my link to my new facebook page....I would love to have some friends.....itis awlfully lonely over there talking to myself.

Hi paulsjourney. I get banded the same day good luck. The exciting journey starts Wednesday.

Neekoal-- I too have the same thought. I'm scheduled for the 15th. I have to do 2 week liquid pre-op and there has not been one day that I have not put something else in my mouth whether it be a slice of cheese or a spoon of peanut butter. I do not like any of the protein shakes that I have tried. I have read that some people are not loosing weight so I'm concerned that I will be one of those people because I want it so badly. I just have to keep thinking positive . I also have a mother that thinks I will not be able to do this, so I'm determined to prove her wrong...

I found the protein from Walmart is really good..I use one called Pure Protein and i heard body fortress is good too..and they are like less than half the price of protein at gnc

My surgery date is March 15th. I cant wait!

My date is fast approching (3/21) and I am having the hardest time with my pre op diet any tips for success

I have the same trouble della - all I can say it just keep looking at every meal as if its the start of the new day. I blew it the first 2 days of my diet - just trying to keep my eye on the prize!

Body fortress is good from wal-mart.
