Seattle,WA

I will be banded on the 30th too. I started my liquids today, and go in for my education class tomorrow.

Hello,

I am being banded by Dr. Srikanth on Sept. 30th!!! I see him tomorrow (18th) for my pre-op and will then start my liquid diet till my surgery.

i go for surgery on the 29th ! im on my pre op liquids too .. how are you doing with the diet ? im hangin its hard , because we still have our big tummies and still want food

My liquid diet is okay but it is hard. I can only have clear broths and protein shakes. I am not hungry but more week and have a constant headache if I don't cheat and have some caffeine. I know I won't be able to have diet soda after surgery but it is keeping me headache free for now.

ok im totally freakin out

my upper gi tomarrow am

My surgery is Sept 30th too. Been on liquid diets since the first week of September (ok, I cheated a couple of times...going throw my mourning stage). I have everything complete but my preop. Getting excited!

HEY I CHEATED TONIGHT AND I am wooried about my upper gi .. seeing that u are a nurse ? is that ok ? i wa sliquid all day and then boiled chicn and sald . spra y on dressing

Is your endoscopy being done tomorrow? You should be NPO after midnight..nothing by mouth.

wow i lost 5 lbs in a week .. now i weigh 212 i dont know what my bmi is and would like to get a ticker to find out , had my lovely upper gi and bariom is nasty .. i got poked so hard in the wrist that i cried .. omy .. i hope the surgery goes well .. i have a great surgeon and i think he is wonderful so i hope so

7 More days, ladies. I went to a support group meeting tonight and it helped ease my nerves a little. Then I work Tue, Wed, and Thurs and my pre op on Friday. Hopefully it will go by quickly!

I'm the 30th in Lake Worth, FL. Dr. Larson. Staff and Doctor are very, very good. I wanted to do this quickly and they have really helped. I had my first appointment on Sept. 17th and we have moved rapidly. I see the nutritionist and hospital pre-op on Thursday and that's it. But I am not on a liquid diet. What is it? I have been eating everything and I need to get on a plan to get ready. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Don't you love beagles. We had 2, but down to 1 now.

So that is all you are eating! I guess I better head to the store. I can see the value of cleaning out your system. Any certain quantities per day? Thanks for your help.
