Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?

Hey ladies! I was banded yesterday. Feeling pretty good for the most part. Woke up today really sore, but once I started moving it was better. Drinking propel and had a few sips of broth last night. Lovin my sf Popsicles too. Some minor gas pain in my left shoulder but I've been walking a ton and its not too bad. Hope everyone else is doing ok...

I was banded to, how long does the incision area hurt.? I don't have the heart burn or gas pain the said I would have.

I'm 8 days out and my incisions barely hurt anymore.

I can't find it. What's the title?

Heyyyy KBush!!!

I'm set for banding on July 30th (: good luck with your surgery!

Hello all I was banded yesterday, doing really well just feels like I have just finished doing a million sit ups. I did really well on the pre op drinks ( chike shakes ) I dropped over 30 lbs in 3 weeks. Looking forward to my new way of life. I had to sleep in the recliner last night.

Heyyyy KBush!!!

Welcome!

I honestly wasn't watchin calories I been having a few bites of sugar free jello some sips of soup and water and I only had half of a protein shake... Those are the worst getting down. Sounds like we r all getting our appetite back. My Bly growled today and had some hunger pains. I thought it was gas pains then realized my poor belly was demanding food. Had a few sips of strained and watered down tomato soup and a few sips of ice cold skim milk and I am satisfied and enjoyed a tasty treat!! Just took my pain med so ill prob be passed out soon. I'm sure ill be awake in 4 hours still not sleeping all the way through.. Are any if you able to? Again everyone that is going to work take it easy and enjoy your day' date=' don't push yourself and kbush and Alaska have a great time on your trips. Kbush please be careful traveling And listen to your body. Have a fantastic time at Disney it truly is magical! Good night everyone sweet dreams skinny Minnie's!![/quote']

Thanks so much!! Just got back late last night! 10 more days until my surgery. Getting excited, and finally feel like it's almost here!!

Hi everyone. Getting banded this Thursday the 25th. Very excited. It's funny my family is more worried than I am. Wish me luck and speedy pain free healing. Lol

Best of luck to ya!

Good luck! You will be fine!

Had my surgery last Thursday 7/18, and am feeling great now! Was kind of sore and bloated feeling the first couple of days (in spite of taking lots of Gas-x and walking around), but didn't have very much pain at all in my shoulders from the gas. Also didn't have any nausea when I woke up from surgery, which was a VERY pleasant surprise! I've always woken up nauseated from surgery. I've lost 11 pounds in the week and a day since I had my surgery, which is very motivating! I have to say, the biggest surprise for me has been the hunger. I didn't realize I'd still be hungry a lot, especially in the first few days when I could hardly get anything down. I have 6 more days of full liquid diet, and am looking forward to moving on to the soft foods!

Good luck to any remaining surgeries this month! Hope all goes well for everyone!
