Good Luck Letty. I have my pre-admissions physical tommorow, meeting with surgeon & they give me cleanser to scrub up for 3 days prior to surgery. It's getting closer and I'm definitely more nervous! I'm excited but can feel the anxious feeling - almost like one gets if you have to talk in front of a whole group of people...anticipating the unkown.

Hi, I know your nervous but you're going to be fine. I was banded last Tuesday 6/19. I was sore for the 1st couple of days and each day I felt better. The key is to keep moving, walk and move your body. Drink little sip of fluids but frequently and you will be fine in no time. I have no pain and am able to drink easily and have Jello and popsicles and a Protein Drink and I feel fine. I went shopping at Walmart yesterday, went out over the weekend and thus far I have lost since surgery 6/19 12lbs. All together with the 12 lbs I lost during the 2 weeks of Optifast and liquid diet before surgery I have lost 24 lbs. I am anxious to hear how you do after surgery. Be brave and strong this is the best thing you can do for yourself in your lifetime to keep healthy. You're in my prayers!! Good Luck! :P

Thanks everyone :) ill keep you guys updated

Hi Letty,

I'm getting banded tomorrow too! I'm not worried about the surgery or the pain. I am worried about the hunger I will experience until I'm in the green zone tho. Maybe we can cheer each other on?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
