I am going to be banded June 20th



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to have my Lap-Band placed this Friday, June 20, 2014. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I have been planning for and saving for this for so long and now it is finally here. I believe I am mentally prepared for all of the habit changes but I am nervous about whether I AM actually ready.

Today I am three days pre-op so I started my liquid diet and I am already starving. Wish me luck!

How did you pull of the 5 days liquid diet? I got 15 ugh! Anyway, congrats and I feel like you do. Excited and anxious at the same time. Chatting on the site gave me lots of encouragement and my nerves really settled down. I am ready for the band just need to get through 8 more days of 'liquid only'. Its a challenge but doable.

Best of luck and keep chatting here, it is a great and informative site. People are in all different stages of the process and give great advice and encouragement.

So I got my band on Friday the 20th. Went in at 7AM to prepare and my surgery was at 10:45AM. It took only 40 minutes and everything was a success. I did have nausea after I woke up and I had some pain but I never did throw up and the pain was tolerable with the pain meds. I went home at 12:45PM.

I am now on my 3rd day post-op and I am sore. I am having more pain from the C02 gas they used to inflate my stomach for the procedure. I am walking and using heat as many other member have suggested and I am shifting around to different sides to move the gas from one side to the other but it still hurts like crazy.

I am still on the liquid diet and I am able to drink so I am able to stay hydrated which is a good thing. Lots of ice chips and Water. I do notice I am full when I drink 1/2 my Premier Fitness Protein shake so I have to nurse it down over time. Right now I can't tell if the pain I am having in my abdomen is still from the gas or if they are hunger pains. Either way, I can't wait for 5 more days to pass so I can move to full liquids and have something besides Fluid. I am not necessarily 'hungry' but my stomach definitely feels empty.

It is Monday and I am back at work so I am doing very well. So far it is what I expected and I am pleased.

I had surgery 20th too. I am on a clear liquid only, not even Protein shakes. I do feel hungry. Not starving but sure would like something. Next week is full liquid. I can say, I will be glad when all this liquid stuff is in my past.

Every fill I get will also follow with a required 2 day liquid diet.

I must be retaining Water though I have added 5lbs the last two days and only taken in about 500 calories combined.

      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.
