This past weekend my daughter took time from architecture school and came home to cook me a full Thanksgiving dinner before I start the pre surgery diet. That was very sweet. Tomorrow I start the liquid diet. (raises glass to all fellow soon to be banders)http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/modern/crying.gif

That is so sweet of her !!

You've got a wonderful daughter! All my husband did was offer to take me out for a carb filled last supper. So we went to macaroni Grill :smile2:

Hello to all being banded and those who are, hope everyone is doing well!

I was banded on November 11th and am doing really well have lost 15 pounds :unsure: already an the liquids weren't as bad as i thought they would be and really not hungry at all, the mind game though was pretty rough when seeing good food and not being able to have it :). I get to start mushies tomorrow very excited :tt2: to have something other than a liquid dinner. I had no pain in any of my insicions and they are healing great, the gas pains in the shoulder where worse than i ever thought they would be, but made sure i got GasX before surgery like everyone suggested.

My questions is, the only pain i have really had from the surgery is where my port is, the pulling sensation is very uncomfortable. How long does this last and did anyone else have this same issue? Also how long before anyone was able to sleep on their side or stomach without any pain from the port?

Thanks

I have the same pain! I went to the doc today and he told me it was normal. I can lay on either side and back now but not stomach. I have been taking my ice pack to work with me so I can ice through the day and that has helped. I was banded Nov 3rd. I have lost 13lbs to date...other wise things are going great! I go back on Dec 1 to get my first fill.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
