My date has been changed from the 17th to Oct 28 because my father is dying.

I hope all of this stress and grief does not stop my eventual surgery. I need prayers.

Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks Eileen for starting and continuing such a wonderful thread smile.gif

Well, it's a week tomorrow since I was banded. It seems a lifetime ago lol. Sorry to have taken a while to get here with an update, but one day away and soooo much to catch up on.

Everything went very smoothly. I was under by 8am and back in my bed by 11.30am. Home the next day. There were three of us in the same room all banded by the same doctor, so the next day we had a little chat which was nice.

I'm surprised at how little pain there is. I had no shoulder tip pain at all and only pain where the incisions are. I haven't taken any pain medication for two days and feel fine. I should mention I have a very low pain threshold.

The liquids are going down fine, but after two weeks of Optifast pre surgery I am really hanging out for mushies lol. I just want real food nervous.gif

Well good luck to everyone waiting and get well thoughts to everyone healing. And another special thank you to Eileen smile.gif

Betts, WELCOME !! I've added you to the list. HUGS :)

Theresa, glad to hear from you. WOW, you seem to be doing really well. I'm so glad my doc isn't making me do two weeks of liquids b/4 surgery. But then I'm eating like a pig b/c of my nerves...oy.

I don't think anyone is going in until the 20th.

HUGS !!!!

HI there! Can I be added as well??? My band date was October 1st. I'm on day 2 of mushies, and have recovered so well. My incisions are healed and I barely have any pain at all!! I was sore the first day after surgery, but had no shoulder pain, and very little gas pain at all. Everything went smoothly... the clear liquid stage was rough, and even full liquids was challenging, guess I'm just anxious and ready to get to the "restricted and losing" stage!! So impatient... Glad to be among so many others taking the plunge!! Much success to everyone!!! :-) Laura

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
