How do you feel, hunger wise? Are you feeling hungry all the time, or are your liquids satisfying you?

Hi there! Yes, I'm one. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

I had a very easy time. I had no pain and no nausea. Extreme tiredness is the only thing I've had with this surgery and I guess that's to be expected. I've taken it very slowly on my progression from liquids to pureed foods to soft foods and it must have paid off because I haven't had any problems so far. Is your surgery scheduled yet?

Hi there! Yes, I'm one. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations and I hope you continue to do well. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow and I never had any pain, nausea or other complications either. I feel extremely blessed!

Congratulations. You are looking fantastic.

I live in Cincinnati and was sleeved on July 11, 2012.

People actually eat liver & like it? I thought it was just for punishing kids.

Congratulations. That's fantastic! I haven't even glanced at a regular rack of clothes in years. Keep up the great work.

Your husband is right...the difference is quite noticeable. You're doing a fantastic job.

Woot! Woot!

I had my surgery yesterday (July 11) so I'm finally on my way to the next stage in my life. I came home this afternoon and am feeling pretty good. I haven't had any problems worth noting, yet. It feels good to be on the "other side" now!

good luck to ya! it's amazing how much your life changes after surgery. i'm almost 12 weeks out and i feel so different. the food i was so attached to i don't even want now

Absolutely! Sometimes I have to make myself stop reading the forums because I'm driving myself crazy with information overload. But this has been such a great place to find out what really goes on.

I don't think you should feel guilty about not telling your co-workers everything. It's a personal decision and they don't need to know. I think your explanation of having your band removed is just fine. JMHO.

It's normal to be nervous. I don't think you'd be human if you weren't at least a little nervous. Best of luck to you and we'll be waiting to hear how you're doing. My surgery is Wednesday. Right now I'm more excited than nervous but I'm sure come Tuesday that will change.

Wow you're looking great!

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, especially at such a young age. Keep the Faith and know that lots of people are praying for you and wishing you all the best.

LOL...EEK! I've been looking forward to, yet dreading this day to finally get here. At least when Wednesday gets here, I'll finally feel like I'm actually DOING something. I hope these next two weeks go by fast.

July 11th for me. My surgery will be done by Dr. Brad Watkins in Cincinnati. I start on my pre-op diet in 3 days.

Hello. Everything is moving very fast for me. I attended an informational seminar on May 31st, had a consultation on June 7th and have my surgery date already! I don't know if this is typical, but it seems fast to me. But I'm glad. Now that I've made up my mind to have the surgery, I'd rather have it soon and get on with it. My surgery date is July 11th...I start the pre-op diet on June 27th.
I am so glad I found this site. There is so much useful information and it will be nice to share my experience with people who know what I'm going through.
