I am so excited & nervous at the same time, I tried so hard & trying to stay w/ the preop diet but I have cheated big time hopefully I can still get banded.

My surgery is also the 28th I only have tomorrow to do the Liquid all day...

Hi Ladyann, unfortunately, I cheated as well. Only on the last 2 days was i exactly on track when I got really angry with myself

Some doctors do not even require the pre-op diet. I still managed to loose 7-8 lbs. We shall see if they send me home tomorrow

May The Lord Be with each of You !

Congratulations & Best Wishes !

Congrats to you both and God bless your journey!

hang in there ladies!! I'm on day three.

My Surgeon did not have me on a liquid diet. He just asked me to cut back & try to lose 20 pounds before my date which was in September. We started the pre-op health updates in June which found several things so I'm glad for all the tests & health updates. After the band placement I did not have any gas or pain. I think his method as a good one as I was already on my way to not eating that big quantity of food. And after my monthly appointments & slow fills I did throw up on occasion. Then I started really listening to what my body (& band)were telling me and things went well. I do not talk to friends about the band as I don't want to hear their opinions.

I wish you all good sailing. Keep smiling!

Well I'm waiting on the bed fixing to go in....geez I'm scared....I only lost 1lb preop was doing good but cheated...doc. said it was ok so we'll see when he goes in if I can get banded???? Prayers please!!!

Prayers are with you good luck

Sending a prayer your way! I'm waiting to go in the operating room to. See u on the banded side

Banded... Ouch this pain

I'm out, sore & sleepy thank god no nausea (at least not yet) going home to rest.

I am glad you made it through. I only had nausea when I stood up and when I started drinking, basically when the gas made me burp. Take the pain killer for the night, you need to rest.

Anyone experiencing a sore throat or pain in the back of the throat?? I am & it sucks

My stomach huts a lot no shoulder no throat pain

I guess you can say its really dry...I've been eating Popsicles to relieve my throat & yes my stomach hurts too...I've been walking around & taking my meds but still hurts
