Hi all.. i got my band Nov 28th and am doing great! On clear liquid diet for 14 days which hubby has been a great help with cooking up some great tasting broths! I just wanted to know how many Nov 28th ppl are out there and say hey! how are ya!!?? I do not have pain..just a lil soreness near port site but nothing what i thought it would be. Yes i do get hungry ... clear broth..come on....lol however when i do have my 4 lil medicine cups i get suprisingly full... or satisfied which makes me happy... back to work tomorrow and full liquids hopefully in a few days... tc and gl to all !!! we can do this... we will do this!!

Hey, I also got my band on the 28th. I'm doing pretty good, I'm kind of weak because I haven't really had much to eat or drink. I was to be on a clear liquid diet for the first 4 days, but I could barely get any water down. It has been getting better and today I was able to eat a pudding cup. I'm going to try and drink a protein shake this evening to try and get my energy up. I'm seeing all of the food commercials on tv and they're killing me...haha...it's not that I'm hungry, I just want one.

glad someone finally answered ...i've been able to drink since the first day...but i have 4 lil medicine cups to fill and i can handle that then ...stuffed.... oh i'm like you..... any food on tv... I WANT ONE! i'm glad ur able to drink more....drink drink drink...i'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks...how i'd long for a pudding cup..ha ha..anyway..keep me posted..... you are doing awsome so far!!!!

Hey guys, I got banded on the 28th also. Just had my 1st post-op appt today and lost 10 lbs!!! :clap2: Not hungry, but just in the last couple of days my stomach is growling. I've been eating egg drop Soup on this liquid diet and it seems to be just right. I have another 7 days on the liquid stage -- how boring!! I went to the store tonight and bought some more cream Soups and some K2O Water, it's not too bad, 5 grams Protein but 50 cal. for 16 oz. Tastes like lemonade. Keep up the good work and let's keep in touch with each other -- motivation.

BTW, Twiggy, i love the name!!:eek: Very creative!!

Hello all, Nov. 28th bander myself. I also am on clear liquids for the 1st 2 weeks. Can't wait till Wed. When I can progress to mushies. I've already bought my mushie food waiting for me.

Went to my 1st support group meeting a few days ago. Alot of people there said they didn't wait the 2 weeks before moving on. I am going to, if something happens I'll blame myself if I didn't follow what the Dr. suggested.

i feel like that too terry...i've come this far i can make it till wednesday...of coures i'm still loving the egg drop soup...lil bits of egg in there fill you up!!! i think i can drink too much of it though..a whole cup full.... ? i cant wait to eat something good! eggs sound good to me... crackers...i miss crackers... i have found that the popsicle brand makes the sf cream pop sicles ...not too bad... anyway...gl to all and keep me posted on ur progress!!!
