  • I saw my dietician and weight loss center nurse today. One week until surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm super excited though. I've lost 30 pounds since May and can't wait to lose more!!!! G

Just got home from the hospital. I had some complications and had to stay a night. :-(. My heart rate elevated just as I was waking up and then my blood pressure bottomed out and they had to keep waking me up to tell me to breath. I've never had a problem with anesthesia before. The Dr. said it was probably a fluke but if I ever notice my heart fluttering then u would need to see a cardiologists. I'm swollen and sore but feel fine otherwise. My Dr. said the surgery itself went great. I only had clear liquids today. I'm pretty sure I got more than 64 oz. in and I walked up and down the hallways at the hospital.

August 29th for me! Woo Hoo!

My nutritionist recommended Viactiv soft chews. I'm taking the regular multivitamin in the morning and the calcium with D three times a day. They have a few different flavors, but I love the milk chocolate... they taste like soft tootsie rolls. Yummy!

August 18-Ashley

I'm still having a hard time :( 3 days post op and I'm still so gassy. It's all in my lower stomach and hurts so bad. I am also having a hard time drinking anything. I'm not getting all my protein in. Is that ok?? When am I going to feel better???????????

I drank 2oz of protein every 10-15 minutes first day or so. Same with water.

My 10 day liquid diet starts Sunday, I been practicing for 4 weeks now by cutting 95% of my normal caffeine intake and while I was already on diet soda we cut those down by 75% we had the last caffeine free diet Dr Pepper a few nights ago...and having protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, then whatever for dinner... Lost close to 10lbs

I'm going to have a few fun meals before Sunday..I'm Not going crazy but I want a good diner breakfast tomorrow morning, and home cooked steak dinner.

Banded yesterday, and all is well!

Day 6 completed, 10 days time I will be banded............ :)))))
