Hello January Bandsters..Just found your thread and decided to say Hello and ask to be added to your list..My surgery date is january 26th:clap2: and i'm very excited but also nervous...I've read many of your postings and have taken a little of each one to prepare myself for what is to come...I know everyones experience is different but having so much support is AWESOME! My surgeon is Dr. Viriato Fiallo in Springfield, MA. It only took 2 WEEKS after all my pre op appointments to get it approved (Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA)..I'm very excited and can't wait to get this show on the road!!! Keep me in your prayers as i will keep you all in mine!!! God Bless:pray2:

I was posting in another thread before I got my date, which turns out to be January 3rd. They are all being banded in December. I felt shunned! jk Wanted to see who else was in my boat? The "too-greedy-to-give-up-the-holidays-before-banding" boat.

Here's a list of January Bandsters. Let us know if we've missed anybody!

I've been up and about most of the day. Went to Wal-Mart with DH to buy a few things. I bought some liquid tylenol so I would have to take the liquid hydrcodone. I don't like the stuff the Dr prescribed because it makes me feel groggy and a little sick to my stomach. The liquid Tylenol helped alot. My tummy feels like I've done about 500 situps, but other than that, everythings going well. I was able to drink a Creamy chicken Soup at Hand today, and have continued to drink Water. Trying to focus on healing first, and can work on the weight loss with the band later. Hope everyone is feeling better, and let's keep those that are getting banded today and tomorrow in our prayers!

Well, it's 3am and if I stay in bed another minute I think I'm going to cry. My back hurts from sleeping so much, even though I've been getting up every hour or so to walk. Can't seem to get anything down but tiny sips of Water. For my 1st day of banding I consumed 6oz V-8 juice and about 1 1/2 pint of water. I'm taking baby sips of a chocolate low-carb slimfast now. Don't have the foggiest clue how much my tummy will hold, but I'll figure that out. I got the 10cc Vanguard band, so I'm going to do some reserach on it so I can become familiar with it. So far, no pain, just a bit tender, and best of all . . . no GAS. I'm sure it will show itself, but just not yet, and I'm gonna enjoy it.

I am glad to hear you are doing so well!!!! Audree

I couldn't sleep the night before either! I fell asleep at midnight and then woke up every 2 hours after that!!! I am post op day 6 and doing great! I wen't walking around twice today for over an hour. I didn't get to get to many calories in today since I was out, so like 520 calories.

I am super restricted and couldn't get too much creamy split pea Soup.

I still have not weighed in!!!

I am so tired, probably due to such low calories and all the walking.

I am going to bed early again tonight. Good night band sisters!!! Audree

Hi! It's 3 A.m. On Friday Morning And I'm At Work, Spent The Last Few Hours Catching Up On The Post I've Missed. I Went In For My Pre Admission Paper Work Yesterday And Met With The Anethesialogist. I Call This Evening To Find Out What Time I Have To Be At The Hospital Monday! Told The Dr. When I Met With Him Today I Can't Believe I'm So Excited About Someone Stabbing Holes In Me, But I Can Hardly Wait!!! Went And Bought A New Bicycle Yesterday Too, Decided That Is Going To Be A Big Part Of My Exercise Routine.

Angyl, please add my name to the list. I'm getting banded in about 6 hours!!! (1/12/07 @ 11:45AM). I'm having trouble going to bed as I just don't seem to be sleepy for some reason! I've been puttering around the house getting things all set for my return home on Saturday. Thanks again to all for the great advice getting ready for this. Wish me good luck! I'll post again as soon as I'm up to it

I get banded in the morning at 9:30!! I can't wait. I didn't have to do anything to get ready except a "modified" Atkins diet. They want me to drink 2 large glasses of Water before I go to bed. It's not like I'll sleep anyway!:clap2: I'm loving the countdown!

Carole...

I read on another thread that you're being banded by Dr. Marsden. I just wanted to tell you how much I love that guy! I've known Dr. John for about 20 years. I lived in North Texas for years and his office was one of my clients at an answering service I owned. If I still lived up there I'd have him band me in a second! I even started to go up there to let him do my surgery because I know what a wonderful doctor he is. If you have any problems with your surgery he'll be right there for you. I can't say enough about what a caring and compassionate surgeon he is.

Good luck with your surgery today!

Add me to the list! Surgery was January 8, and so far I'm doing pretty good. I'm a little sore still, taking Gas-x and walking as much as possible. Glad to join all of you!

Just wanted to add my only pre-op diet was to restrict red meat, Pasta and carbs for a week before surgery. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight day of surgery. That's it.

Post surgery I haven't had any problems with liquids. Starting the mushies today.

Peace and blessings to all.

lol omg you're so smart for not having weighed in. As opposed to me and my obssessive self weighing in all the time. Now that the scale has stopped moving, I just attribute it to the fact that it's broken lol.

Did you try the frozen carnation thing? I love it, but it gives me horrible gas every day. Gotta figure out how to prevent that from happening. Maybe Beano? Gas-x is for after the fact, I need something preemptive. Suggestions?

Yeah I did and it was GOOD!!! I just stuck it in the freezer for about 1 hour and shook it! I loved it. Yeah, you can probably add beano to it or I use Silk Soy milk vanilla and it tastes really good. Soy milk doesn't give gas.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
