I really feel much better than I thought. I'm not in any pain, I'm just sore. I felt yesterday (the day after surgery) like I did about 2000 sit-ups.

I was hungry when I went in for surgery, but when I came out, the hunger was GONE!!!

So now the diet has changed. They want me to take in at least 2 watered or milked down slim fasts per day. I can have as much broth Soup or tomato soup as I want. I can have 2 cups of caffinated coffee or tea per day. I can also drink anything that is non-carbonated.

I really feel great. Tired, but I feel great. I haven't been sleeping well because I wake up every time I turn because I'm scared that I'm going to hurt myself.

But I'm not in ANY pain at all.

And - I lost 24 pounds in my 2 week pre-op diet!!

Congratulations Debbie on the pre-op loss! Well done :whoo:

It's great to hear you are doing well after your surgery. 12 days to go for me ... waiting ... waiting!!

Congrats Debbie, and keep us posted!! Keep up the good work. I go Friday....yup, it's almost here!

It's a piece of cake - really!! You'll do fine! Good luck!

good to hear you are doing well. i go tomorrow! keep us posted on your progress.

This is encouraging. I go in Friday as well and I am soooo scared. My stomach is in knots.

1 week from today and I have mine done. I go Friday for test and signing papers and making down payments.

Debbie- it sounds like you are doing wonderful! Great job on losing so much pre-op weight! No gas pains? No nauseau?

Debbie-

You did amazing! Speaking from someone who just had the band done; I can honestly say that!

Now, we are in it to "lose" it!

Hi all:

I was banded yesterday too. I discovered that I lost 15 pounds on the liquid diet! I feel great today. My throat is a tiny bit sore, and I feel like I've done too many situps.....other than that, no problems. I'm sipping my morning cofee.

I feel like I'm finally embarking on this great adventure!

:whoo:

It is great to hear you two above are doing well. Like many of us who haven't been banded yet, I am anxious and nervous. We have all heard the horror stories, hearing your stories of doing well really does help. Thank you for that. Oct 9 I will join you and I hope all goes as well for me also.

<p>I'm 2 days out and sore but not unbearably so. I have a package of frozen corn in my shorts! It's honestly better than I thought it would be!</p>

I was banded the 10th of Oct. I am still sore when I get up and down, still wake up to turn but its not that bad.

I am getting shed of some gas at last. My total pre-op weight loss was 13 pounds.

Oh, I forgot I ahd a hernia repaired while in surgery and that is probally why I am still sore, having to recover from both surgery's.

I lost 17 pounds this week!

KLadybug- way to go on losing 17 pounds! You are doing awesome!
