Hello all! I have an appointment Oct. 20th with my doctor and I will get my surgery date on that day. I was told by the office staff that it should be about two weeks from when I meet with him. Which means I will be a November 2009 Bandster. Anyone else out there yet with a prospective November surgery date? What are you going to do to kill time so you don't get too excited and jump out of your skin like I feel like I might!

Hi I;m new to this thread. I just got BANDED on November 18th. I can t wait to get off the full liquid stage any ideas on what everyone is eating (soup recipes) cause I am tired of chicken creamed soup!!! I am still in a little pain by my band but very weak

Welcome Rozi, I was banded on the 18 and have only lost 2 pounds. I'm a little disappointed. I'm walking for an hour everyday since i got out of the hospital and eating under 400 calories a day (I still on clear liquids). I have my post op appointment tomorrow. I'm hoping their scales tell me something different. When do you start mushies? I have a blog if u want to check it out. Lap Band-It Girl

Take Care :thumbup:

Ok. I need some support. It is five days after surgery, and I am STARVING. I was ok until now, but I swear as I've moved around more today, my body is screaming for food, and not at all happy with soup and shakes. I really hope I can make it until mushies on Dec 3rd...

Hi Rozi - I'm a bit older than you (41) but I started at 267 on 11/19 (surgery date). So far I'm down to 261.5 after 5 days, but boy am I hungry! Let's keep in touch!

Hi Jen I too got banded on 11/18 and am also going to start on mushies on Dec 2 so we are almost on the same path. I am 38 and am so new to all this. Where did you have your surgery at? I had mine in Richmond ca. I am struggling with the amount of restriction I have, I think I may have too much. Last night I had pudding and I was bent over in pain and couldnt sleep I felt as if I was going to get sick and kept choking. weird, huh? I am also always hungry though I cant seem to work this band. :thumbup:

I'm a excited newbie :thumbup: I was banded on Nov 12 and I am doing really good. I didn't have much pain but of course struggling with mental hunger. I think that this will be the hardest part to change. My mind. Started walking this month and now I do a couple miles a day. Hope to keep it going when winter comes. Thanks for sharing everyone it helps me a lot to hear what other people are going through. See you all around I hope.

yes I am on the 25th and cannot wait, I am so sick of the liquids phase and feeling hungry after an hour. I also started my period yeah.

AHHHHHHHHHHH It's official! I just paid my bill $15,500 in full.....surgery is tomorrow at 12.30pm!! Holy S__t!

Mine's some time tomorrow around 3 pm. I have to arrive at 1 pm and do pre-op. Then I'll be banded!

WOOHOO! See you on the flip side,

Amy

Soexcited that is funny, too bad you had to pay out of pocket although I suppose it will make you appreciate your band even more. I cannot believe its finally here. I just know that I am going to be hungry REALLY hungry come 9:45 since I am doing liquids. How are you doing on your liquids.?

Hi everybody!

I will be getting my first fill in 2 weeks, then I would like to join the group of Nov. Banders!? Will get all my stats then.

I've been walkin alot, on mushies. But my tummy gurgles afterwards, after i've had my protein shake...can anyone tell me what i should do, or whats going on? DO i need more protein?

Thx :ohmy:

Hi all,

I am new to this group and I have also been newly banded on November 18th!! In general I feel good except some sharp/stabbing pains that occasionally occur on my left side right around my rib cage(sometimes immobilizing) :ohmy:! I weighed in at 239lbs on Oct. 13th, was 227lbs on the morning of my surgery and went for my first appt after my surgery yesterday and was 221lbs!! Granted starving will do that to you but still super excited!! I am starving and can't wait to chew food!! Just started on "full fluids" yesterday but honestly I'm soo not interested in shakes right now...well wish me luck!!

PS. Is anyone that had surgery on or close to the same day as me still having serious tummy rumbling and feelings of air floating around in their tummy and shoulders??
