Sorry if this thread has already been started but I looked around a bit and couldn’t find one. I think that those of us who are scheduled for September need a place to support each other, help pass the time, and not spam up the boards with a thousand approved threads:tongue2:!!! I am so excited to being this journey. So, how about it? Any lost September banders out there? :ohmy::)

sorry for the spelling --- healing--:blushing:

Hello all, Iwas banded yesterday. Amazingly I feel good today, hardly any pain at all.. Just a little soreness. I have to have my staples removed tomorrow. Going to nap, will check in later.

Ok so this liquid diet is no fun. All of the sweet shakes are just not working for me.:blushing: I mean is it really ok for me to just have soup all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions for a full liquid diet that does not include sweet shakes.

Motivation!

I have entered the TURKEY DAY Challenge 2009. I think it will help me to obtain a mini goal and keep me focused during the holiday.

Anyone else want to try it with me?

Hi! I am getting banded Sept 18th!!!! yay!!! looking forward to going on this journey with all of you!!!

:blushing: Good luck

Abercchic,

The more you move the easier it will be to get the gas out. Trying walking and make yourself burp and burp and burp. (Or Belch) It does take the sharp pain away. Sounds gross but it helps. Good Luck! You will feel much better in 2 days.

Take Care

Jamie

Eeeeek - my surgery day is tomorrow!!!! Very nervous but excited at the same time :-)

Hi Colorado, yes I am feeling a bit hungrier too. It really hit me hard on Monday. I just have to remember why I did this, and that I am self pay, that kinda of put me back in the right frame of mind !! I had my first post-op appt. today and all is well. I lost 12 lbs. since surgery. They did say that if I gained all of it back, it wouldnt be unusual, because I havent had a fill yet. That really scares me.

No way! I refuse to gain back the 15 I have lost so far. I will put myself back on that clear liquid diet before I let that happen! That would be so disappointing. You know, I added it up and the first week I was eating 800 cals or less, now I am 1000-1200. That still is not very much. As long as I can keep it around here and not gain anymore I will be happy until my first fill.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the lapbandtalk. Was wondering if anyone has had their surgery in Mexico? I'm scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuanna (sp?) October 13 and started Atkins today as my pre-op diet...I need to lose about 17 pounds before surgery. I'd be interested in speaking with anyone about their experiences, particularly in Mexico. Am nervous about going out of the country for this but insurance won't pay and it's about 1/2 the price in Mexico. Look forward to talking with everyone.
