OMG I can see my name real close.........not long now

I have been home for almost 4 hours feel no gas pains (knock on wood) hope I didn't speak to soon. I checked in at 0545 i was out by 0945 the Dr. fixed a hiatal hernia I didn't knw I had. I'm feeling a very slight discomfort on my port area but overall not feeling too bad and haven'r taken any pain meds. I had a very sleepless night too, i was a nervous wreck!

I have just finished my last Pre-Op appointment and I am 3 days into my Pre-Op diet and surgery is scheduled for Aug 30 at 7am. I am so excited. Funny thing is my blood sugars are awesome on this diet and I feel better already than I have felt for over a year. I am looking forward to the day I can pump my insulin pump away and so many other things.

The end of the month is creeping up. I just went to Costco for my Pre/post-op shopping. Bought premier chocolate shakes and flavored water. Not the shopping trip to take on the day you start a liquid diet. I was doing good until I saw fresh mango slices. Stopped at Krogers for sugar-free Popsicles, jello, and Gas-X strips. I think I'm ready for battle. Bring on Wednesday!

start my pre-op liquids in the morning! Surgery tuesday!!

I have 3 days left, it's finally almost here! I start liquids in the m orning...

Good Luck. You'll be so happy a year from now.

4th day post op and while I feel better I also notice I am not drinking much at all and I am just totally uninterested in anything with flavor that I would have to drink. I managed coffee this morning and that has been it beside a bit of water. I can't wait to be off thin liquids and on to full thickness liquids. Truely a protein shake never sounded so good. Now I am actually craving it. I hope everyone else is bumping along ok with this new situation we find ourselves in.

9 days post op and this is the best I've felt in 9 days!!! I pushed too much tonight and went to the home football game. I could only make to half time. I am now in bed with the heating pad. My back is killing me from sitting on those bleachers!! I'm still not getting all of my protein and water in everyday but today was best day. Im getting better!!

I am getting my second band on August 20.

Why a second band ?

First band had a major leak confirmed during surgery, thus the replacement.

How do I join the group, had surgery today. I'm in pain but the painkillers help, they're supposed to knock me out but here I am again...... Wide awake. I know I don't know any of you (1st post was last night) but it helps to know someone is thinking of me and reading my thoughts.

Hello my fellow bandsters! My date has been moved to Tuesday August 28! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Didn't sleep well either last night, spark, and understand what you're going through. Feeling some pain but it's very managable with the meds. Toughest thing I'm dealing with is a headache from my anti-nausea medicine. Moving pretty darn well and can't believe the surgery was just this morning. We're all in this together and it really helps having this group, doesn't it!
