I am looking at mid month , if all goes well :-) Lets keep each other up to date!

I am pathetic - I am cheating almost everyday on the pre-op diet.... I think it is psychological - because I can I will.... how will I go post-op???? OMG OMG OMG

I have surgery tomorrow! It kind of feels like a whirlwind of a process. Maybe because I am paying for it out of pocket, but it has gone by really quickly.

(August 4th I had my band)

They had to keep me an extra night because I wear a cpap (but my oxygen level was fine the whole time).

No gas, no pain, slept good, private room, great nurses, got right up and was walking around.

Nothing went wrong. I don't even have pain now.

Am psychologically hungry but when I eat (drink) I'm full.

It honestly feels (today) that I didn't have any kind of surgery. Now the ""fun" beings.

Amazing.

My surgery is August 7, 2009- 2 days to go and I am sooooooo excited!!!! I will let you know how it goes.

Okay everyone, I'm getting closer....I saw my doctor yesterday and asked all type of questions (as this is my last Dr. visit before my surgery next Wednesday), he answered everything and told me that I'm all set and that he would take good care of me. I've lost another 9lbs since the liquid diet started, and like I said I'm not completely on liquids because I am eating at least a meal a day with Snacks totaling 1000 calories per day. I can't wait until next Wednesday....:ohmy: so my new stats are as follows:

Start WT 252

Current WT 230

Goal WT 150

BMI 37.5

7 days and counting for surgery........

Getting banded tomorrow, cant wait!!!!!

Whooohooo i am the 7th too, less then 36 hrs I will be in surgery , OHHHHH i can't wait. Goodluck Mellzy. :ohmy:

Good luck to those on the 7th!!!!!

Got banded Yesterday. Went well. There was a lot of pain getting out, all I said was ouch for like the first 10 minutes. Was def. in and out of it for a really long time . Got my own private room afterwards. got morphine for the pain while there. I'm just super sore and swollen. Came home today around 4/5 I think. Was given percocet (sp?) for pain, but pharmacist won't give me prescript due to the amount to be dispensed being written in the wrong spot *rolling eyes*

Been eating okay. Not hungry at all really, so had like 2oz of apple sauce and some water later on. Sleeping sore as I am is def. not fun :-/

posted twice by mistake, sorry guys!

What things r u eating when you cheat? I just kept telling myself that I do not want my surgeon taking me in the OR, and then finds he cannot do the surgery because my liver was not in the state he wanted! The more weight you lose on the pre-op diet, the liver shrinks, he told me! Hang in there!:wink:

I just had my surgery (the 5th) yesterday...and I am still waiting to be released :wink: I have to wait till I can get rid of my nausea and puking

but at least the surgery part is over

sjm1965- i'm so hungry i'm gonna eat my cat! no,really just teasing, i'm a vegetarian! but seriously, this is really hard my diet seems to be really strict compared to others i've seen on here. joking about it seems to help. but think of how awesome it will be to be able to say we licked it! my sister has a saying,"nothing tastes as good as being thin!" we'll find out if it's true! good luck! lisa6
