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::)

I lived in North Mississippi for about 15 years..we used to vacation every year as a "girls only " trip to gulf shores and Orange beach....I really miss it

I'm originally from Gulfport, MS grew up there my whole life, now i live in NC though cuz we are a marine family but thats so weird to here people mention gulfport like the other girl did in her post. I guess since it's not that big of a city

I live in Picayune, MS it's not that far from Gulfport. My husband is in the Navy stationed out of Stennis Space Center.

Hi All,

I get banded September 24th!!! It's the first time i've posted here and just hoping to get to know people that will be going through some of the same things I will :biggrin: I'm 8 days into the pre-op liquid diet!! Boy it's been tough!! But I have yet to cheat and i've already lost 12lbs and can fit into jeans that i haven't been able to get into in 2+yrs...This has given me the rest of the motivation to get through the rest of these shakes :biggrin:

I'm happy to meet you all and look forward to sharing out the rest of our journey together

Hello all...I am new to this site...My band date is Sept. 24th...Excited and nervous!!:biggrin:

Hi everyone. I was banded on Sept 4th. I am doing well be am looking for a place to fit in here on this site. I just joined about a week ago. I look forward to talking and comparing notes with all of you.

Goodmorning everyone. I am feeling better today. Yesterday I was really nauseated for the first time, so I stuck to liquids yesterday and feel better today, will start again today with soft foods and see how it goes. How is everyone that was banded the first week doing? How is everyone else?

Hello.. I'm sorry to hear you were nauseous.. Was there any particular reason??

I unfortunately have a horrible cold. I thank God everytime I sneeze or cough that I didn't get it right after surgery.

I'm at the mushy stage of my diet. My initial idea of pureed steak with A1 sauce hasn't happened. I find it hard to eat real foods in pureed form. So, I'm sticking mainly to soups and protein shakes. I do feel full faster. But, I can drink with almost no restriction. I'm taking gulps compared to the little sips I took right after surgery.

I wish I could report more weight loss. But, Unfortunately my little trip to Las Vegas set me back 3 lbs and I barely managed to take them off.. almost a week later. Who knew grits with butter were that bad.. :biggrin:

Don't be so quick about adding more foods, once we get off the shakes and soups and start eating real food, our weight loss is gonna slow up lol

I'm gonna stick with the shakes and soups as long as i can stand it and then ill start adding the real food:wink2:

Welcome to our group, the more the merrier!

I had my band done on September 14, all is going well so far. A bit sore whre the port is placed and the pain is bearable, just need saome gas X at nite, other than that i am ine. i am still on clear liquids till monday, then on to shakes and soups.. I am truly happy for all bander and wish everyone success

your were done day before me. Is you tummy still swollen? has it gone down any? I'm just concerned because I will need to return to work shortly and not too sure I have anything I can wear with my tummy being so swollen.

I was banded on the 9th and I feel like my stomach is still swollen but I feel like it's gone down a little in the last day or two. I have added real food myself but only eggs and tuna, I mush the eggs up real good with a little light mayo. The only reason I have done it is because the protein powders dont sit well with my stomach. I have bowel issues since my gallbladder removal and I figured those were two foods that could give me some added protein. I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well................KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES, and hang in there to the other ladies on pre ops.

We did it. I hope everyone is feeling okay. Like most things that I have read, I still have a little pain on the port side and pain med is making me sleepy, dizzy and tire. Other than that I feel fine. Ladies take care

I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well. My surgery went great also. The worst part was being in the recovery room for 7.5 hours waiting for a room. I feel pretty good right now. A little tender in the belly area, but not bad. I did get 5 incisions, how may did you get?

Take Care of Yourself!

I lived in North Mississippi for about 15 years..we used to vacation every year as a "girls only " trip to gulf shores and Orange beach....I really miss it

I miss Gulf Shores and Orange Beach as well, from Mobile, Alabama, lived there for 19 years.

I'm really not sure. I was real gassy and I think that made me nauseated.
