This is my first day post op and trust me Tylenol would not have cut it girl. Tell your surgeon when he comes to talk to you prior to surgery or the anesthesiolgist.

Have your doctor check you for Hasimoto disease. It is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. Google it. Sounds like you may have the symptoms. I know I was diagnosed last year BC if a struggly with my thyroid meds not working. I had to start taking two types of medications

Of the subject and I have a silly question how often do you guys weigh yourselves? I'm just curious. I feel I'm obessed the scale lol

Bluetiger sorry to hear about your dad. I agree with the hypothyroid. I gained 60 in a short period of time before I was diagnosed. After struggle of getting the medication adjusted properly I hit a max at 100lbs hince the reason for the band. Unfortunately for us with thyroid disease we do have to work twice as hard. I would highly recommend a lab draw. I'm also have been a RN for 13 yrs so you can take the info you like as some medical advice. Good Luck

I just got banded today and Havins some trouble urinating. I am having to strain and I'm afraid of hurting my band. Any thoughts

I'm having trouble peeing . Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions ?

I'm out of surgery and at home in bed. I'm in so much pain. It hurts to do anything. I feel like in post op they were pushing me our the door. I literally just open my eyes and they were getting me dressed. She gave me 50mg of Demerol and told me to get up. I couldn't walk straight nor hold myself up for X-ray. I'm being bitchy now I'm going back to sleep y'all

On my way y'all ! So excited and getting cold chicken feet at the same time. Down 13 pounds for pre op. Wish me luck and hugs and kisses for all my December family.

WHHOOP WHHOOP ! I got the call today 9am is my go time on Friday. I want to call in sick so bad tomorrow to work and stay home clean my house and make it perfect for my recovery.

Anyone else a patient at the True Results place at Med Center. I am and I met the surgeon today and he was amazing. Any feedback or we can make this our own support group.

Thank you all ! You right I can do it ! and I will do it !

I cheated on my pre op diet yesterday. I had some beer and my xmas party and a small plate of pasta. I have been beating myself up all day over this. I'm worried that I may have ruined my day, which is Friday. If I can't keep on a goal during pre op am afraid temptations will doom me in the future.

Me too. Im getting banded in Houston on the 14th also! Im so ready to get started

7 more days to go! So many emotions

Leigh - I don't want to say its OK but my doctor allows me one meal at night and that's usually what I eat. Hey are anyone going to take photos of their progress. I was thinking I would for self motivation

I found what work for me is to drink something.

Your so right Amy. Last night I couldn't finish my dinner and today is a breeze on my pre op diet. Thank you all for supporting me thru those difficult three days.

Day three of pre op diet and I must say it is getting easier. I notice that I'm eating less at dinner time. I have the cookies and cream is pure low carb and I mix it with fat free chocolate pudding. It is so delicious. I have to say I notice where my bad habits are. It is when I get home from work I want to snack when I'm cooking dinner. Ugghh

Second day of pre op diet it is getting easier but I'm still struggling

How are you feeling

Hey Ladies Congratulations on you girls that have your band now. I had my first pre op diet day and it was soooo hard. I hope it gets easier because I'm so starving !
