I had my band filled to 9 cc, after a week (it was tight and I did feel restriction)- it all of sudden got WAY WAY WAY tight. Literally 7 days later. I have no idea why it took 7 days, but the night it went on "TIGHT" mode I thought I was going to die. Throwing up or rather dry heaving all night and the next day, finally got in to have it adjusted, but I am still messed up. It is 3 days since the loosening. Went down to 7 cc. Anyways I am NOT complaining, and I love the band, but this has been major and hurt like a mother. Just sharing.

Hi All, I am new to the forum, but FAR into the pre-surg process. I am going under the knife on the 20th of Sept.. I think of it like due date, to a new beginning, a new "birth" for ME. And also because it has taken almost 9 months of pre-surg prep tests, appointments and basic time killers. I am now in the fasting process, which is really hard, but I am getting by. My kids and husband would like to add their two cents about my crabbiness. But we all know it is for the better in the long run. I am doing this drastic approach due to health, not vanity. I need to live long enough to see my son and daughter grow up and live their lives... I have personally heard all the stories, about obesity and death, but it really hit home about 2 years ago. I do not want to be another statistic. Any support, or kind words I would appreciate. I am scared, but I have a driving force to succeed and do this.

I am on the fasting pre-surg diet and struggling with this myself.... I have been drinking the MUSCLE MILK LITE, which is just this side of gross. I will try a few that have been suggested! Thanks!

I am pre-surg now, doing the fasting diet. My surg is scheduled for Sept 20th 2011.

I am scheduled for my surgery on the 20th of Sept. Currently I am on 2 protein drinks a day, a 200 calorie breakfast (one egg one starch and a small carb) and for lunch lean meat and a few veggies (green of course)..... I estimate I am living on 500 cal a day? (My drinks are "lite" 100 cal each)////// This is SUPER hard!
