oops, i guess i pasted and copied and old one- thanks for the updated!lol sorry

No need to apologize, silly!

I am so glad that granny k's surgery went well. I had not read anything on the MERRY LOSERS for quite a while, and was dishearted to see people attack one another. I have been on liquid protein shakes and bars for almost 4 weeks, it has not been easy but I have lost 31lbs. I was not always 100% with the plan, I had a couple of weak moments. But in the days leading up to my surgery I am all with it. Glad that everyone is doing well after surgery. I wil be so relieved after the 27th.

Good Luck To Everyone That Is Have Surgery This Week !!!!

What A Great Christmas Gift.....

Hi everyone once again,

Well, Tomorrow will be one week since I was banded and I still feel like crap! Dont mean to complain but believe in telling it like it is!! At the seminar, they said we should be back to regular activities in a week - NO WAY!! At the rate I'm going, it will be at least 3 weeks. I have to go back to work on Wednesday and I'm worried that I won't be able to. Also, I've been STARVING!! That wasn't supposed to happen! I'm following directions as good as possible but if I feel like this once I'm better, it will sure be hard NOT to overeat!!

HELP!!

Sorry Grannyk to hear your doing so poorly. I am amazed at how wonderful I feel.

I was up and walking the same day of surgery Wedensday, Thursday I was feeling pretty good, Friday I went out to the movies and the store by myself, Saturday I went out and about and had soup, yummy, and today I am at the coffee shop on line talking to all my friends. the only pain I have is from the scar sites well 2 of the 5 the other 3 just itch...lol the 2 that hurt is the one at my brest bone...it is brused and tender. And the port site above my belly button, not that I can see my belly button lol but it is above that lol. I have even been sleeping on my stomach. I dont have much gas pain but I do have a lot of burping.

I am all ready to move on with the healing and jet to working out. I bought scale on line and am ready for the numbers to go down. lol

Don't panic too much - it took me about 1 1/2 weeks before I started to feel anywhere near normal - each day will get better.

Are you on full fluids yet? If you are try drinking yoghurt or something with a bit more substance than broth - I was told I could drink anything as long as it went up a Macdonalds straw - so was able to have fruit smoothies, egg flips etc - more substantial types of fluids. Also are you drinking the full amount, the more you drink (I'm talking water and low cal drinks here) the better as it will help stop the hunger.

As you move onto mushies the hunger will stop but you will probably find that the hunger feelings will come back as your body gets better and prepares to move onto the next stage. My Dr was great when I saw him post op - told me that as my hunger grew to thicken what i was drinking/eating and I am now onto soft, non-mushie foods. When you have your post op appt discuss what you can eat with your Dr. Also remember that when you get a fill you will feel less hungry.

You're doing great - hang in there.

Hi Ladies, I would like us all to join hands in prayer the night before surgery, that Jesus will guide our surgeons hands on Dec 26 that we will be blessed with speedy recovery

So far, so good. I have lost 13 pounds and only had food urges once. I am proud to say, I ignored them. ( Pizza and Cherry Pepsi).:clap2:

I guess I have hit bandsters HELL. I am starved the past two days. I am still on clear liquids, jello, popsicles, milk and protein powder. I am so ready for something more substantial. But I am determined to follow doctor's orders. I can start mushies on Thursday. I already bought some eggs, yogurt, soup and cottage cheese today.

Plus I have a sinus infection. Today has been a real bummer. I keep getting dizzy and nauseated. I have had my protein and have drunk plenty of fluids so it must be the infection. This too shall pass.
