Oh boy, I was approved in 24 hours & tomorrow is the big day. I'm super nervous & hungry as heck right now. Clear diet is a bummer. I hope I'm making the right decision. I've researched & reviewed a million times & I think this will be the best tool for my lifestyle. The idea of throwing up & not being able to eat is what freaks me out the most. I don't have any grandiose visions of being a size 2 or obsessing over my scale, I simply just want to be healthy. No more pills for hbp, no more being uncomfortable on a airplane. I just want to be a average women that's comfortable in her own skin. Wish me luck & say a quite prayer for me.

good luck . i have the exact same fears lol , i know i cant get my surgery until september ( at least thats when im shooting for ) i have my list of appointments to get through first. hang in there WE CAN DO THiS

Good Luck tomorrow!

Thank you:). All the pre work is a pain, but it's worth it & it will go fast.

Good Luck! We will be thinking of you!

How are you doing?

I feel good. 1st couple of days my tummy was tender & I still have back gas pain but it's getting better. I feel tight maybe swollen? But not bad,

Anything help with the gas pain? Congrats on getting banded. I can't wait to have my turn!! Any tips for the clear diet?

The only thing that helped me with the gas pains was a heating pad. You can use that or hot Water bottle or those bean bags you can heat up (get that before your surgery, you'll need it) & walking. To be honest the gas pain was the worse part. Still hurts at night. I only had to do the clear for 24 hours before. I did chicken broth w/ Protein powder in it, Jello, Popsicles & hot tea....& repeat:). When are you doing yours?
