Successfully Banded 10-15-10

I cried the entire time in pre-op. Everything was running through my mind...what if I don't wake up, what if I fail at this, what if my liver hasn't shrunk etc. My doc was great & he and my anthesiologist assured me that I would be fine & that they would take very good care of me...which they did.   1 day pre-op and no hunger, desire to eat & I was able to go to my 7 yr olds football game today. I feel great. A lil pain like I've been doing situps but nothing unbearable. Slight tightness in the chest from the gas they blow in your stomach. I'll work that out though.   On the road to Healthier & Happier Life!:thumbup:

Help!!!! I'm starving!!!!

I am supposed to be on a high protein & veggie diet 2 weeks before my surgery. I did not do well at all. Now I'm trying a liquid diet to prepare for surgery Friday. I am ready to die! I'm hungry, my head hurts, and I can 't resist temptation. Why can't I just do the liquid diet 24 hrs before? uuuugggghhhhhh!!!!!!:cursing:

When will the liquids end??????

3 days post op I found out I had pneumonia. This has been the worst ever. In an effort to figure out why I was having chest pains, my doc drew my fluid out my band & told me to stay on clear fluids for 5 additional days. I am so ready to taste something other than water, jello & broth! 1 week post-op..what are some of the things you other bandsters tried 1 week out?

Chest Pains

5 days post op & I keep having these unusual sharp pains in my chest every since surgery. I know I had pneumonia & Ive been on antibiotics for about 4 days now. I have no problem swallowing and the sharp pains come at various times. Any ideas what this may be?   Uncomfortable:confused:
