Me too, same as you! I'm very hungry today and clear liquids aren't doing much to aleviate that. My plan is to get as ready as I can tonight then swallow a couple of benadryls and go to bed. Have to be at the hospital at 7:45 tomorrow! I sure am excited! How about you?

Miss Can-Do,

I'm SO glad to hear that your surgery went well, sounds like they gave you the liquid Versid early, good! Yeah, I'm 5 days out now and still feel a bit sore but nothing like I thought I'd feel. I do get indigestion, mostly in the mornings, I have to learn to drink my liquids more slowly. Yesterday was the first day I felt any hunger, had a 1/4 cup of tomato soup, boy was that yummy! It took away the hunger, hope it will always be this easy!

Miss Cheryl: I'm happy to hear you're doing well too. Yesterday was my first day the stomach growling so I watered down some tomato soup and you're correct- It was AWESOME! haha. I didn't even get 1/4 cup down, only a couple of tbsp full. Liquids seem to be going down much easier as the days go by. So far seems we're both on the right track! We're DOING GREAT! I hope it keeps like this too, if so I'll be down to my goal weight in no time. :confused:

I am getting banded tomorrow as well! I've been on liquids for 2 weeks and I'm really not that hungry..unless of course It's been awhile and I was in need of an additional shake, or some broth..Anway, I'm so excited for tomorrow...Good luck to the rest of you being banded tomorrow..

Hope everything goes well for you. Keep us informed. It's a whole new beginning for you.

I'm tommorrow as well. I'm a little apprehensive but mostly just want to get on the other side of the surgery. The clear liquids are going ok but I don't much care for the affects of the magnesium citrate I had to drink.

Best of luck to all of us.

Waiting on my surgery date...it won't be March, but I sure like the excitement of this group! :confused: Good luck to you all.

Msperson...Thats awesome. My surgeon called me Thursday and told me they had the 11th open, so I jumped on it. I have been on the liquids for only 4 days. Its all good now, the first day I was lightheaded and miserable, I just slept,lol

I am wondering how to fill the void that food will leave...

This is my biggest concern. I hope I am able to deal well witht he Head Hunger but i know I have some bad habits that I need to address. I may go to the psychologist my surgeon's office recommends so I can cope the best I can.

Food has been my comfort and my friend but it is time for us to part ways.
