Awe thank you. That was so sweet, I think I will have that after work now!

Lol well I don't think I'm getting a lot of food or broth really but I seem to be drinking enough since my pee is normal omg a Starbucks sounds awesome right now

That sounds like a great idea! I will have to try that. I have sugar free jello and Popsicles. I'm just having a hard time eating or drinking a lot. I can't even sit and drink a small bottle of water I just sip and sip then end up putting back in the fridge for later. When I eat the now awful chicken broth lol I only have about 5 bites and I'm done. I hope I'm at least meeting the correct amount of fluid a day

It's been going ok,I haven't Really wanted any food so that good but I'm soo sick of chicken broth!! I cannot wait till Friday and be able to eat a different type of soup

I know this post is kinda late but I'm 23 from Texas & Yes I was banded on the 28th as well. I was very nervous & excited, heck i even cried as they wheeled me away lol. however I am doing good now 5 days post op good luck with you weight loss goal!!

Ok great! Thanks for the help I just wanted to make sure it was normal

I am getting banded today @ 9:30 woohoo please say a prayer for me I'm very nervous. I'm happy and sad at the same time, my husband has to work so he will not be able I come today. I will have my mom by my side though Happy Friday everyone

Congrats on Monday you can do it! I had mine done yesterday and it isn't too bad at all. We are here for you if you need anything this site has been wonderful! Good luck!!

Praying for the approval!! Good luck

To be honest I felt the same way. I wasn't sure I would get thru not eating the food I love and only being able to have liquids. I won't say that it was easy but it is doable. I just tried not to think about all that food and kept only things I could have at home. My husband would not eat around me which helped a lot. All you can do is just jump into it and take 1 day at a time I was just banded yesterday so I still have the 2 week liquid post op and that's scary but just breath and take it a day at a time. If I can so it so can you believe in yourself you are strong!!!!

Yes my dr told me to walk every 45 mins fo 15 mins and I really have had little to no gas pain, stomach is very tender of course and my back was hurting but the heating pad is doing the trick! Thank you all for thinking of me, I'm glad to have support from fellow bandsters and bandsters to be. Yall are AWESOME Rn925- glad things went well and you are home now. We did it!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, I am officially banded now!! I was scared but made I thru just fine I have been home for a while and am in minimal pain (where port is) other then that slight gas pain but nothin bad at all yet at least. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement

Thank you!!

Hello all, my name is Tiffany I am 23 married to a wonderful man for 5 years now. I started my pre op diet last Friday 12/14/12 and seem to be doing well on it. The Dr's office called me today and let me know my insurance approved the surgery. I am excited and scared at the same time. Any suggestions or tips before or after surgery would be wonderful. I was diagnosed with Pcos when i was 10 and diabetes I'm hoping that this lifestyle will help my Pcos/diabetes and hopefully help us with having children in the future. Thanks for reading!

Yaya it's almost here!!

Good luck!!! I am getting banded as well @ 9:30 so exciting and very very very scared at the same time. I just want it to go smoothly and not die lol I'm kinda dramatic I guess ill say a prayer for you see ya on the other side banded

Oops I hit send and didn't finish! I had bought the stuff from my dr not sure on the brand it's th true results kind ( strawberry) I do not recommend! It was very foamy and gritty, I cannot have dairy products so it was mixed with water
