Let's all post our dates!

I am scheduled for May 19th!! Can't wait! :biggrin:

My doc didn't mention doing anything like that, so that's why I was wondering. I was just told to be on liquids all day today.

Well good for you since I am not feeling great with this laxative churning through me LOL. I have noticed here there is a wide variation on what is done from surgeon to surgeon. Did you have the 2 week clear liquid preop diet?

No, I didn't have to do that either. Just today. I have also noticed that there are a lot of different instructions from the different surgeons. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!!!!!

Thanks same to you! I am sure we will both do great

Hey bandfan! Hope your first fill went well today!!!! I can't believe only 2 days left! Good luck to everyone with dates coming up as well!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Well, my surgery got postponed. We found out a week ago that my white blood count was too high so they put me on an antibiotic. Checked my count again on Tuesday and it was still too high so the surgeon said he would not do the surgery. I went to the doctor today and it's a sinus infection. He put me on a stronger antibiotic and I'm waiting to hear when my surgery will be now. I'm hoping for next week some time.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Good luck tomorrow Allison! I just noticed that tomorrow is your big day!!!

It will be great!!

Ok so I'm a little late responding to this but I just found this site like 2 days ago (wish I had found it like 2 months ago). Anyway, I was banded 5/23 in Conroe Texas.

Hope all the May bandsters are doing well. I hope that most of you are off those yucky Clear Liquids.

Welcome, its never too late to join in. From all I am reading we are all doing well. I personally still have one more week of liquids....I have gotten use to them LOL

Hey Bandfan, how'd the fill go?

I am in Bandster hell- I am hungry, with minimal restriction and can't wait until I can get a fill. I feel like I am just dieting. Plus, my life is very stressful right now. We have to move, and the place we were going to move to flooded, so I had to quickly find another (we have to be out of our present place by this weekend!). Luckily, I found us a place, and even more lucky, we hadn't moved yet to be flooded. Thank goodness!!!

Thanks TMFRITTS!!!!! I got home from my stay at the hospital a couple hours ago, I'm pretty sore, and starting to get reallllly itchy!!!!! I can't wait to start loosing weight. Right now I'm feeling really worried about eating, its like when I first got braces, I didn't eat any solid food for weeks because I was afraid they would fall off!!! Now its kind of the same feeling, I know I can't eat solid food for a while but I'm really nervous about something bad happening!!!!! I don't want my band to slip or anything! There is always something new to worry about lol. Thanks for the support!

P.S. Good luck everyone being banded on these last two days of May!!!!

I am on day 3 after surgery. I feel the same way that you do. I am afraid to eat. But, I have started eating full liquids. I love the Campbells Velvety Potato soup. It took the whole day to eat it, but it felt great going down. I have a very full feeling at the top of my stomach. I don't know if it is because of the lapband, or just sugery pain. It hurts a little when I breathe. Good luck to you.

Hi All

I was banded on May 27th. All went well, and the Dr was surprised at how much I was walking. A bit of a setback for me though because I caught my hubby's cold. So pretty miserable from being sore from the surgery, and now the cold. GRRR. Sneezing and coughing aren't much fun right now.

I tried some strained cream of chicken soup. Drank abou 3/4 of cup, and felt so full like I was gonna burst! Lesson learned.

globally yours, everytime I cough or sneeze it feels like 1,000,000 people stabbing my from my belly button to my rib cage!!! I keep screaming anytime it happens!!!!!

Thanks Allison! Glad to hear everything went well with you. Did you stop itching? I have been told that the itching is from the anesthesia and it should go away!

Everybody sounds great! I am 8 days out and actually put on something other than sweat pants!!! Yipee! (It's the small things in life that excite me!)

Experimenting with pureed foods - all though it is kind of hard for me to figure out the difference from pureed and mushies!!

Keep feeling better everyone!

Terri
