Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

Oxy, I'm starting to struggle. I have to do two weeks pre-op, I'm only on day three...I think I'm gonna have to break down and have some lean turkey or chicken.

I'm awake too. I'm post op day 5 and the shoulder pain wakes me up in the middle if the night. Glad to see you are doing well Leigh.

I know the pre-op phase is hard … but you can do this! If you 'break-down' now you will set yourself back … you've come this far … following our diet guidelines is the KEY to success with being banded.

Try having some broth … it helps to ease the craving.

Maybe even some thinned out cream of chicken Soup may help … but keep things liquid and take control … you can do this!!!

Day 2 post op.

So far so good.

The pain meds seem to help w/ the gas 'pain' itself … walking around gets it going, too … but I would have probably slept through the night if I didn't have it. They say it takes about a week for it to pass … you'll be there soon!!! Have you weighed yourself yet? I'm wondering if the gas pumped into us adds temp. weight.

When I first got on the scales I actually gained 5 lbs due to fluid swelling etc. But now the weight us just coming off because I'm not eating anything. I'm sure one I moved to mushy stage some weight will come back on again. I'm prepared because I know this is the beginning

I'm heading in for surgery this morning. Nervous but very excited for the changes that are to come in 2013.

I'm leaving for surgery in awhile. And my dr said don't weigh until next Wednesday morning and then continue to weigh only on Wednesdays. He wants me listening to my body rather than the scale is what he said.

Hi all,

Can't sleep well at night due to incision sites pain.

Walking around lots so the gas pains are all but gone.

Before surgery I was 242 after surgery 249. Gas does have weight.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Anyone else going in on the 26th? I'm exited, but this liquid diet is kicking my butt!

What is a EGD?

It's a test (camera down your throat)

Checking to see if I have a hernia..
