October Bandsters?

[jlbachmann 25]

So much respect for those already banded and made it throught the two week liquid phase! This is such a struggle for me. I'M HUNGRY!!!! I miss food and chewing. My surgery date is 6 days away, so I'm going to stick with it... but i just had to vent, lol.

It does get easier. I was banded 10/8. I was sick of the Protein Shakes and Soup. But, my surgery went smoother because of my "skinny liver," which was good because I had an undiagnosed hiatle hernia that needed to be repaired. It also helped me to visualize what a cup looks like and how I feel after eating a cup. I just got onto mushies yesterday. Good luck and remember it will be well worth it.

Becoming grumpy I've lost almost 10 pounds all I want is to chew something. The shakes and Soup are good but I want to chew I want something else besides Soups, shakes, oatmeal and yogurt. So frustrating. Had to vent sorry

Hello! I had the same thing! Smooth liver so no biopsy was taken ( my doc is also trauma doc and while he's in there he removes any scar tissue, checks liver, gall bladder and hernia) I also had the hiatal hernia that was repaired. I was told that because it was repaired laparoscopically that I really need to be careful in lifting etc for 4-6 weeks.

I was banded 10/5. I move to soft foods on Saturday.

OH my, just got the call. I am having my surgery tomorrow morning 10am. Sick of pre-op shakes, but my clothes are now loose on me, so that's a great perk. So excited, but not looking forward to the pain.

good luck to all having theirs in day/weeks to come!

I'm kinda freakin:( Banded at 10am tomoro, my sis was banded six days ago everything fine..some shoulder pain/gas for a few days. Sis told me she had trouble breathing right after surgery & woke up lost & disorientated.... But didn't last long. This is what's freaking me out WAKING UP AFTER SURGERY:( I'm a nervous nelly in general and make MYSELF mentally crazy...I'm not afraid of pain, had c-section, nose-tounge- eyebrow-&nipple pierced, lol, no problem! It's the breathing, waking up out of anesthesia & freaking out, and feeling weird gas bubbles in places like my chest & back.......ahhhhhhh
