I am on the 19th also and can't wait ..Is anyone having to give themseves the shots each day so we won't get blood clots.

Can't figure out the ticker but I will (I hope)

We are getting there !!! So excited.

I have to do the shots afterward. It's not bad. I still have a stash of them from the last time I had to do them lol. Just go to tickerfactory.com and fill out the info, then cut and paste the code into your signature

God Speed to everyone and check in as soon as you feel like it ..

Love you all ..

good luck everyone. I go in at 530am. So nervous! Hugs for all my fellow 19th bandsters!!

Good luck to everyone today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I start my all liquid 10 day pre-op diet today, so while the hunger pangs are killing me, I'll be thinking of all of you!!!! Best of luck!

janette and lexy how are you both doing? We were all on the same day.. I am really sore still, but trying to walk and rest... what have you been drinking? I havent done the protein yet, just tea, water, Popsicles sugarless, dont feel like anything else.. yet...lol.. hope you are all doing well..

Dorothy

Hi Dorothy, I am doing well..still sore and very exhausted. BUT I have been trying to rest and walk at the same time - so it gets a little crazy. I am having a hard time keeping liquids down - I can only take 1 sip at a time, which is a welcomed change!! I am NOT hungry at all, I hope this lasts!!

I tried a Protein shake for the first time today - it was really good (the 2 sips that I had of it, LOL). It was CHIKE brand banana Protein powder - my surgeon's office gave me a ton of samples - half cup of 1% milk, half of a banana, 1 tbs of Peanut Butter and ice, blended until smooth...it was yummy - if only I can finish it! I really don't see how I am going to be able to get 54 grams of protein in a day on just liquids...I can barely get in 32 ounces of tea, Water and apple juice...

Hopefully it gets better...

OK, off to move around a little more. May 19th-ers please post and let us know how you are doing and what you are drinking..

cheers!:tongue:

How are all the May 19th Banders doing? My one major complaint is the gas in my left chest area, damn that hurts- I'lll be going to work for 5 hours on Thursday and Friday- less if I start to feel like crap before my 5 hours is up-

Good luck everyone-
