It is definitely crazy how different pre/post op diets can be. Refried beans were good, I won't lie. Hopefully your two weeks fly by!

Was banded May 2nd - have lost 14lbs and went back to work the 6th. All is going well so far :)

I'm right behind you. I'm 12down :-) woohoo!!!!

I would love to have refried beans right now! Liquids only for 2 weeks for me. I think it's crazy how post op plans can be so different. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. I'm definitely feeling better today then I have been.

I'm like you cda97 but Friday I can start full liquids and I can't wait. I'm not really hungry but just tired of juice and broth.

What is included on full liquids?

It's thicker liquids like cream of chicken, mushroom soup, yogurt smoothies, protein shake.... things like that. I can't wait till week three soft food. I want some egg salad, fish.....something.....that's the fat girl in me wanting to eat...smh lol

Just had my surgery yesterday, May 7th and so far so good. Had clear liquids the first day. Today I had cream of tomato/roasted pepper soup, Spirutein shakes, and greek yogurt. I am sore, but have tried to walk a lot today. Gas pain from the air injected and some local soreness is what I have experienced so far. Tylenol has been my main pain med so far and hopefully tomorrow I will not need it.

I am banding tomorrow May 9th 2013. Yepee

One year ago i had the lapband/plication. HAPPY BANDANNIVERSARY TO ME. I've lost 47 pounds in one year. I wish it was more. But maybe next year I will have reached my goal..

I am banding tomorrow May 9th 2013. Yepee

Good luck. I has mine on 5/9/12.. Exactly one year ago!!

It's official! I'm set for surgery May 24th and I couldn't be more happier. I just pray that fully utilize this skill to the utmost.

My surgery is May 13!!!!!

Today was the second day of my pre-op liquid diet (my doc only requires 5 day pre-op diet.

The wife and kids had KFC. I drank chicken broth. LOL

I might lock them out of the house for a while after that!! Lol

I start my liquids in 3 days!!! Can't wait! Surgery is not far away!!! :rolleyes:

I had my surgery on May 10th! Still sore, swollen ,and bruised. I havent lost anything yet but I think thats because I am so swollen. I did go back to work yesterday, the 13th

I have 10 days of Clear liquids, 10 days of full liquids, then 10 days of pureed food. then after day 30 I am good to go.

Tired of broth already. It all tastes so salty to me!
