Liquid Preop Diet-How Did You Make It??
Wgbem posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on my first day and feel terrible. How did you get through?? -
I was just wondering if anyone had any physical problems after banding and did you have to wait any particular time after surgery.

I think is is great to read success anywhere. I am getting banded on Monday September 24 and it is these successes that makes me know I am doing the right thing.

I Cheated On My Pre-Op... Now I Feel Guilty.. Help!
Wgbem replied to prinxs's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also think it is harder because of the hunger pangs of a normal sized stomach. I have had a headache for the 3 days I have been on this quest. I pray it is better once my stomach can only hold a small amount. -

I like what you sad. I think we are put on the diet, aside from shrinking the liver, just to kick start the diet process. I do not think perfection is expected. Do not beat yourself up. -

You are all so encouraging. I am so excited to get the surgery and know this too shall pass. I see now as a result of this that it will be better for me to stay off until I am at least up to soft foods. -

Yippee, got my date today. I am being banded on September 24. I am so excited but nervous. -
I think you are probably right but I know, for me, I will use at least a week and take it from there after that. Thanks for the advice.
