A pain ball?!? That sounds interesting maybe that would of helped me when I was still in the hospital. I can't burp as well. I thought that was pretty weird good to know I'm not along on that Well I hope you to a well recovery then!! Thanks again for the info!!

Thnks for the info! 4 or 5 days isnt that bad. I am able to sleep in my bed but the way I get out of it I'm sure I look pretty silly. sleeping on my side is what I cant wait for. I hate sleeping on my back. Congrats to you and thanks so much for the info!

Wow that is pretty awesome!! Good job!!

So I go in tomarrow at 9:00 a.m to get my lap-band. I have to say a little nerious and excited at the same time. I've been on this liquid diet for 2weeks and really just can't wait to eat normal food still a while before that happens. So the next time I'm on here I will be able to share my surgery day...

I'm just wondering on what people are advise what to eat after surgery?!? It seems like every doctor is very different with the rules that they are giving everyone. My doctor is putting me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks after surgery then I start the soft foods for another 2 weeks and after that start working in food. Just want to know if everyone had to do the same thing. I've been looking up online and reading people comments and I even notice some people was eating chicken noodle soup 3 days after thier surgery. I don't see how that would be very smart, but then again I havent gotten the lap band done yet. I have my surgery on the 14th and Very Excited!!

Oh man Lori I hope the storm don't effect your surgery. I know what you mean as far as feeling sick. I have my good days and bad. I do know at times I feel a little weak. I have had more back pain then anything. My legs do hurt after being on them all day, but no serious cramping. Hopefully you wont have this problem long... Keep us updated and hope everything goes well!!

So my surgery date is on the 14th and I notice last night I just can't sleep . I'm really trying to ease my mind, but the closer it gets to friday I'm just tossing and turning in bed all night while my husband is dreaming away. I feel so restless and really want to be as well rested as I can before surgery since it seem like some people struggle with sleep after being band... Ugh so annoyed and a little worried that tonight will be worse or the same... Anyone had this problem???

I'm not really sure if i can take benedryl. I don't see why not!!

I was eating everything during the holidays. I felt it was my goodbye to the bad food that I can't have anymore. I really regret it now because I gain weight from my start weigh in. Now I had more to lose, but I told my self I'm not going to beat my self up everyday. Yes I gain the weight, but now I'm really focused on doing this 100%. I started my liquid diet on the 31st and as of today have lost 19 pounds. Now that could of been 19 pounds from my 1st weigh in which right now I would weigh less then I do now :-(, but it is what it is. These 2 weeks really is a realty check for me!! My surgery date is the 14th and I'm just waiting... Try not to over think about it! Your not alone...

Congrats!! I get my lap-band friday and I'm really curious to how people feel leaving the hospital. Very lucky to be able to have cream soups I'll be on the same liquid diet 2weeks after surgery. Congrats on your surgery and best of luck!!

Good luck on your surgery!! My surgery day is friday and I have not eaten in almost 2weeks. So I know all about wanting to eat your arm off. Good luck with everything!! Miss Na

Thank you Lori!! Congrats to you as well and good luck on friday!! Just a few days away just so happy for a life change....

Well Thank you everyone for the great info!! I'm def following doctors orders would never take the chance of going through this if I wasnt 100%.... It seems like most of us have the same diet.. Thanks again everyone..

Wow this is very good info very inspiring!! I get the band on the 14th and I'm loving all the success storys... Hope I will be able to be this inspiring for someone else. You look great keep up the great work!!

Well I'm 6 days in on pre-op diet I started Jan 1st and I get the lap band on Jan 14th. I see my doctor on Jan 9th for weigh in for what ever reason I'm nerious about that even though I already lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet. I'm just counting down the days to get here these protien shakes is really messing with my taste buds. I see I am not alone in feeling how I do about this liquid diet. I have gotten different types of protien shakes and notice the ones from costco seem to be the best right now. Well I am very happy that this day is around the corner at the same time it feels like this will be a long 8 days for me.....

I'm just wondering If anyone has been having problems taking the vitamins after lap band, because I can't even take some of them down now and I havent had my surgery yet. My Lap band date is Jan 14th. Some pills are so big and make me gag now. I'm a little worried that I would have a problem with this. I know you can find chewables for certain kind, but would really love to know about this.

I get my lap band on the 14th so I've been on the liquid diet for 7 days now and it seems to be that my doctor is more strict then others on what to have. So I'm only allowed protien shakes and broth and surgar free popsicles and jello, tea drinks that are surgar free thats it. I have always loved my carbs and before I started this diet I thought this will be harder then the surgery how am I going to make it. And so far I have been strong and know that this is what needs to be done for my surgery, and I just need to do this. It is hard and going on day 7 now I feel half way there, but still have some work to do. It's a good thing you are starting to do this now then to wait because I regret not stopping eating and drinking certain things. You will be fine!! My hosptial had group yesterday for all the Pre op people and this was everyone concern not so much the diet after words. Good luck on your surgery on the 28th!!!

Thanks for all the info everyone!! I will be looking fr chewables today :-)

That's awesome!! The 14th is just around the corner, but kind of feels so far away right now to me lol. The shake I got is called Protien its high in protien and only 3 carbs costco had another one for a little bit more money but I'm not sure how that one tatse. Good luck on the 14th!!

That's great! I asked if I can mix fruit and they told me no. It seems like some people are able to have a little more then others. So enjoy that banana shake! I can really go for one right now :-)..

Hi, I have not got the lap band yet I get it on Jan 14th. How ever My friend had gotten the lap band done last year and she went through the same thing she also refer me to watch this video of a skymoon on youtube she post everyweek and she touched up about this after she had her surgery 2 years ago. She gives awesome info on her videos and she has lost all her weight. I guess some people go through this and some people dont. I hear it can be very painful hoping I don't have to experience this, but you never know. Wishing you the best of luck!!

How Awesome!! The shake I got is called Protein vanilla flavor 30g protien and 3 carbs I only have 2 of these a day with a slim fast low carb or and atkins shake. My doctor allowed up to 7 carbs a day so as of right now it works for me. How ever I'm having such a hard time finding slim fast low carb for some reason. Well Good luck to you any updates on your surgery would be great!!
