I was banded on 4-12-11. I had to do a 3 week liquid diet I was 80% true to the liquid diet. I was also freaking out as well. I never ate anything but meat, bread and tators. I have lost 41lbs in the last 4 weeks. Dont look back just look at the out come in 12 months. I have always had the the little saying ( You have to give a little to get a little) I took it I would rather have a little extra skin and be healthy than not to be. Im still alittle sore but nothing to bad. I feel it is going to be the best thing I have ever done for my self. Keep your head up its not that bad. But everyone is different. BG

I was banded on the 12th as well. I have not had any gas pains yet. But When I got home for the Hospital I took a 1.5 hour nap. Then I got up and walked 3/4 of a mile. I do have some pains around where my port is but nothing to bad. But I will tell you it hurts bad when I cough. I have lost 3.5 lbs since tuesday the 12th. I have been drinking water and Jello, and Protein shots. I went back to work today I feel great. BG

I was banded yesterday I had a cough and a cold. My dr said as long as I wasnt running fever it would be OK. I feel fine today.

Im gonna have my LB done on the 12th. I get to start my liquid diet on Wednesday for 3 weeks. WHOA what a change. Here we go on this train.

How did you do this. Have you already had your LB. Would you do it all over again.

Has anyone ever had to do a 3 week liquid diet. My Dr. told me that I was gonna have to do this before he would do my LB. I have heard of a 2 week but not a 3 week liquid diet. I just got approved in my insurance. So I dont know what to expect.

Well that may be why because my BMI is 50. Well I recieve my insurance paper today and I guess I will have to atart my Diet next week.
