Hi Bird925,hope you are doing well. I go in for my lap band with Dr. Goldstein next week. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. During his seminar he said that the week before surgery you will be on a liquid diet, but when I scheduled my surgery 2 weeks ago he told me to eat normally and just go on all liquid the day before surgery. Was that the same for you? Thanks

Hi, I'm Bird I was banded on May 11th by Dr. Goldstein. He is great and his staff is too. If you have any questions just message me back.

Have you tried Boost Protein Shakes. They work for me. I drink them and I feel satisfied. Or try Muscle Milk protein shakes.

Well ladies I love to cook, it is therapy for me so when I came home I made fresh pork cutlets and a cream sauce with spanich. I made myself a scrambled egg. I really don't get hungry at all but must eat. I went back to work today too. Work sucked but I have a job.

I agree with Kris, You are lucky with no gas pain, I have gas pressure and it is most uncomfortable. I just walk and it moves and I pass it then all is well. Today I drove to the CVS and got some gasx and that works well. I forgot my chewable vitamins so I have to go back to the store later. i have been up and about all day. I feel great and i go back to work on Monday. My incisions are healing very fast with hardly any scaring or scabbing. This was a lot easier than when i had my Gallbladder out in September.

I am suprised I feel great. I only get the gas pressure that is uncomfortable. It seems like I will be ready to go back to work on Monday. I only took off Tuesday thru today. I have been up and about since I had surgery on Wednesday. Well I have company now but I'll log back in later.

Well all went well. I'll give all the details tomorrow. I am home. I feel good. Kinda like I didn't have anything done minus the gas pain or better yet pressure. Sleepy right now so I'm gonna go. Just wanna say THANKS TO ALL THAT KEPT ME IN THEIR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

Sending prayers your way. I get banded tomorrow. I'll talk with you soon. We can compare experiences.

Well I get banded tomorrow. May 11th. I am getting emotional. I feel scared and excited. I hope this is all normal. So many people oppose my choice. But I made this choice. I choose to be healthy and fit again. Enough with the negitive . I am so happy and relieved the day is here. I didn't get a call from the hospital to tell me the time I am to be there but I called them and 10:30am I was told with no instructions or anything. I will talk to my surgeon and his staff about that. I am in the medical field I work for a group of doctors that do surgery everyday and i give the instructions for gastro procedures everyday so I kind of know what I need to do but I hope nothing was overlooked. I guess you all can tell i am nervous. I am glad to have some where to vent. Well I will be on again on Thursday if not tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how everything goes.

Hey Bird Glad to hear your date. I was banded on 4/20 and its still a little rough. Airpockets and frustration of not being able to eat. Protein stuff is making me sick just smelling it. Keep me updated and good luck

I have my May date also. May 11th. I start my pre-op liquid diet April 25th. I am replacing breakfast this week with a shake to get used to it and then next week I will be ready, I think.
