Wow u have had a tough go at it. I'm so sorry for you. I had my surgery yesterday and I'm fine. Just soar and I can get liquids down fine also.

Hi Ladies, I'm getting banded tomorrow. First of all think about everything that you went thru before having the surgery. Put yourself back there mentally. You DO NOT want to be here again!!!!! This pre op has been the longest 2 weeks ever!!!!! I'm curious how you gained the weight back. Maybe you should go in and be tightened again and start back with the Protein Shakes. Are you eating when your not hungry (which is what I did all the time 2 weeks ago!!!!) or is just bad food choices???? Curious to hear what your experiences have been. You can do this!!!!!!!!

Yes, Lori Mortman Shanahan

Thanks so much.

I would love to be a part of the Facebook page. My name on FB is Lori Shanahan.

Thank you.

Good luck everyone who's having surgery today. I have been on the Protein Shakes, broths, Jello and ice pops for 11 days. My surgery is next Tuesday. My stomach is not handling these shakes very well. Anyone else having these problems??? I can't wait for cottage cheese. Never thought I would say that. LOL.

I get banded nov 6 anyone have upset stomach from Protein shakes or just me??

Yes, I think it's normal. I get banded on the 6th also. I am on my 6th day of Protein Shakes and I am absolutely starving. How about you?

oyoyoy.....what am I getting myself into?????????? Thanks for the responses.

OMG, this is killing me. I am 2 weeks pre surgery. So when this happens to you, do you spit it out or swallow it?

dj112, how long ago did you have your surgery??? Also to all out there, what does pb mean???

Sometimes food gets stuck in my throat and to alleviate this I stick my finger down my throat to get the food out. Is this not recommended? What else can I do on the moment? Help. Thanks!

I am getting banded in 2 weeks. Why does food get caught in your throat? I know we can't drink while we eat but if it is stuck, why can't you take a sip of Water?

I'm getting my lap band on Nov. 6th.

I'm new also, I start my liquid diet on Tuesday and I'm scared also. I did a liquid diet last year and did really well except I did eat a sensible dinner so this is a little nerve wracking that I won't even be able to eat dinner ((. Yes, I know the first couple of days are the worst. I am so not looking forward to this but I am looking forward to getting started with the band.
