Banded yesterday..ALL went well, tons of nausea medicene. Now I am home and the soreness had gradually increased, especially when I get up or down. They gave me liquid percoset, but thats not really helping. At the hospital on was on a morphine pump, so maybe the liquid perk is just not holding the same ground as the pump. I am supposed to stay on a clear liquid diet for two days and then move on back to the plain liquid diet including oatmeal/cream of wheat, etc.. Im glad to hear everyone else is doing well and good luck to the rest of the "to be banded" !

I was banded yesterday also. My liquid pain killer isn't doing much either, no planning on taking anymore after today. I don't want to have the Constipation that comes from taking pain meds. I wont be on oatmeal etc until my next doctor appt on wednesay..I been walking, walking walking and it helps way more than the meds.

John did your surgeon leave two small tubes attached to a little external pouch with anesthetic in it? They are telling me that I have to pull them out myself one the pouch is full..

its wierd.

No, sorry, nothing like that at all? Just a injection for putting me out, and then I woke with the normal 5 laparoscopic scars on my stomach.

My surgery is all set for the 30th! YEAHHHH!!! I had my pre op visit with the surgeon today, and a class and pre op tests on the 28th. Then surgery on the 30th at 1:00. I am kinda glad its later in the day, we can keep the morning routine the same for our daughter, then just have someone pick her up at daycare in the pm. I have lost 20 lbs! I always suprise myself by what I can do when I put my mind to it. I really only ate much healthier, and tried to be somewhat more active. I think its the little changes that make a big difference. OK, time to clean house now.....good luck to everyone coming up this week!

Jodi

Dee congratulations!!! So sorry the pain meds aren't working. I could not have survived without the Vicodin! It totally worked for me. Walking helps for sure! :tt1:

Hi guys, my scale finally moved again, I am 16 pounds down now! :tt1: Started mushies and feeling much better. I still get hungry between meals but I feel full with much less - about a cup of food, like we are supposed to do.

I also started exercising. I do a hike/run thing for 45 mins. Feels good to get back into it.

How are the early bandsters doing with weight loss and exercise?

@all September Bandsters

Unfortunately I did not find a poll for the group name so I created a new one.

Please vote here for our Group Name:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/september-group-name-poll-102389/

PS: I found a topic where September 2009 Bandsters were brainstorming for September 2009 Group Names. I used their suggestions. If you need me to add an additional option please let me know, I can still add it to the poll. :)

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
