I was banded on April 18. I have only lost 12 lbs including my pre-op diet. I have stopped losing weight. I am still on liquids but must admit I am not getting my Protein in and am only getting about 600-700 calories. I am not suppose to start mushies until Wednesday and then not solids until a week after that. Any suggestions on what I can do to get over this hump?

Good Luck to you as well. See you on the other side.

Really excited and nervous about surgery tomorrow. Any words of wisdom anyone?

Awesome!

I'm on the other side resting pretty comfortably in my hospital room. Not too much pain just taking it easy.

Glad your doing well.

I have been on my post-op diet for two weeks. 2 Protein Shakes a day and 6 oz. of lean meat a cup of green veggies and a cup of fruit per day. (also crystal light, sugar free popsicles, and such) I have not really been hungry to much. My doc did not require the all liquid diets that some do. How long do you have to be on all liquid?

I'm on for Wednesday too but don't have a time yet. Yaaaaay for us! Are you dreaming about lap bands like I am?

For sure I am dreaming about lap bands. Good luck to you. I am really nervous how about you? How long on your pre-op diet?

My surgery is this Wednesday' date=' April 18th. I want to thank everyone for writing because it gives me comfort knowing what other people are going through. I will also do my best to write my story in case it helps anyone else. I'm extremely excited and nervous now that the day is almost here. Good luck to all of us. God Bless[/quote']

Mine is the 18th too. Good luck to you!

Just got the time for my surgery Wednesday. Have to be there at 8:30 am. Day surgery for me. Had a two week pre-op diet, down 10lbs. Really excited and nervous. I know things are going to go well.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Mine is scheduled for Wednesday.
