February 2014 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi tdiezme, I had quite a few stomach aches when I was on the liquid and veggie 14 day pre-op. I put it down to so much change going on in the stomach...."what is this new diet?Get real!!!"

Hope it settles down...but let your doc know anyway, I would think. S/he would have better advice!

Hello, i'm new to this site and my surgery is on 2/18. I started my pre op diet on Monday and hope to lose some weight before the surgery as well as shrinking that liver. Good luck everyone!

Banded yesterday with a hiatal hernia repair. Got home from the hospital today at 4 pm. I'm in pain but the liquid lortab seems to be working. My throat is a little sore from the breathing tube and I just seem to be freezing.

I have to take teeny sips...or I burp. It's a learning thing for me. It took me 2 hrs to drink 8oz Protein Shake with 1 full scoop of Protein and one cube of ice.

My official surgery date is this Friday, Feb 21. I have been on the pre-op diet since the 11th. I am down about 10 pounds so far. I got sick with what I thought was the flu last week. Turns out I had something viral that turned into bronchitis. I have been on a ZPak and an inhaler since Friday. I am coughing and sometimes have coughing fits. I don't know if I should reschedule my surgery or not. The nurse seems to think it is fine but I am a little worried.

After my surgery, last Thursday, the nurses told me that wanted me to have a big cough every four hours to prevent pneumonia....so, you could say your coughing will be good after surgery or if your lungs are weak you may be more susceptible to pneumonia??? Well crap, I thought me sharing what they told me would help, but not so much...wish I could offer better advice for you!

That's my biggest worry is that my lungs are so full of junk and it's hard for me to get a deep breath as it is now that after the surgery I am thinking I would be more likely to get pneumonia. I have no idea what to do.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
