I'm getting banded on the 25th. What are you planning for your liquid diet? Mine is for 2 weeks, how long is yours? I'm afraid I won't be able to go without eating.

I'm going in today (Aug 6th) at 7 am (surgery at 0830). Right now it's 2413. I'm tired but I can't sleep. I think I'm not going to get any rest tonight but it doesn't matter since they are going to be putting me under anyway.

azlife, i had to go up 2 flights of stairs to get to where i live, and it took a while to get up them, but 2 days later when i had to go down them again it was fine, just took my time. hope this helps.

it was more the energy required not the pain that made me take my time

Hi, I am having my surgery this Friday. A little nervous. My doctor did not give me a diet plan before sugery but asked me to have fluids only from today. He said that although i am overweight (BMI 31), my Liver should not have stretched too much, and therefore there is no more preparation needed pre op. I do wish every one "good Luck" and i think it is great that we all encourage each other and share our immediate post op period. Take care everyone

Hey how ya doing

im getting banded on the 7th August and begin Optifast for 1 month next Tuesday It would be good to share our stories I have a blog

beenabeena.blogspot.com

It will be great to hear from you

Cheers

I am being banded this morning. I have been on all liquids (Optifast, etc.) for two weeks, and will continue to be on fluids for about 4 more weeks after surgery. It isn't easy, but it is do-able. My doctor told me that I had to be on fluids before before surgery to shrink my fatty liver in order for him to get behind the liver for the lap band surgery. I'll do whatever it takes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
