G2 Gatorade, homemade popsicles with 1/2 juice 1/2 water, vegetarian pho broth, herbal tea. That just so far, I'm also looking for ideas!

Hey everyone' date=' I had my surgery yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty good. I had a hiatal hernia they found and repaired while they were in there. Not too many gas pains. I've been walking around a lot. Some incisional pain on the lower left. All in all, feeling good! Also, started out at 331lbs and was 307 lbs yesterday, so I was really happy. Good blood pressure and cardiologist said a healthy heart, so I've been in really good spirits. Since I'm in mexico I also got a tooth fixed for dirt cheap.

Anyway, good luck to you all, let's keep in touch![/quote']

Congratulations! How did it go? How do you feel? How much did you lose total on the pre-op diet?

@mime1980 im a little sore feels like i did a bunch of cruches and sit ups, everything went well and i lost 15 pounds on the pre opt

I am feeling so good, two weeks now banded and today went for a follow up, I opted for getting the first fill, they put 2cc. She said I could wait two more weeks, but I find I am getting a bit hungry again, so I SAID PUT SOME SALINE..!! Incisions are healed, the only minor discomfort is the port- Not pain but like the area swells up, DR said it might take months for it to heal completely. I am eating small portions and before I get the pain in the shoulder warning I stop eating, so far so good, sugar levels are perfect!!! Lost 26 pounds since Dec 28!!! I am feeling so great!!! BEST BEST decision ever!!! I don't tell everybody only a few selected people...I won't allow anybody take away my joy!!! I just want to write to insurance that they should've approved me sooner, they took a year and six months....but everything is in God's time!!! OH and the filing didn't even hurt!!!!

I'm banded and feel like poopoo LOL. Just got home. Lo.g day and long trip. Headed to bed. All went well.

How did you loose that much weight in 1 day??

LOL, I should have been more clear. I lost that on my pre-op diet.

Thanks, Mimi. I'm feeling good. Not hungry, which I hope stays that way. Are you getting excited?

Good morning everybody! I can't believe my surgery is tomorrow! I have to be at the surgery center at 6:30am! I have a tech question I hope somebody can answer. When I respond to the messages from my computer at work I get right onto the site without logging in, but at home I can't do that and it won't let me sign in. Any suggestions? I don't want to be off for a week and half and not be able to talk to everybody. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

I had to download Mozilla Firefox browser in order for lapbandtalk.com to work right on my computer. Try that and see if it works.
