HE ALSO HAD SOME BAD WORDS TO SAY ABOUT MY DR.....I FINALLY HAD TO TELL HIM THAT I DIDNT WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE!!!

Good idea bubblebutt.....(its so weird calling someone else that)....I will call them tomorrow!

Hi Pamela....its great to hear that you are doing well. I definintly have the tongs on my shopping list...hubby said he'd help but just in case he's not around lol lol lol lol

A MOOMOO...LOL...reminds me of my mom back in the day..she used to wear them all the time and she wasnt even fat!!! Laura, im with you..I loooove my bed especially when im not feeling good, but i just want to know that im ok first!!!!

I figured stretchy pants would be the way to go! Thats one more thing to add to my shopping list..

My doc hasnt told me anything yet. He said I will get instructions when I go to the hospital

GOOD LUCK DAVE!!!!!!!!! NOW GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND REST REST REST!! LOL

DYNAMO...congrats on your band day!!! How is the preop diet going?

Was that doctor ordered or are you doing it all on your own?

Grrrr.....how come my picture isnt showing up next to my posts???

lol Tracy...I wouuldnt either, but I would def call the doc first before trying it!!

I havent been banded yet..but im pretty sure that alcohol might not be too good so early on in bandland....might cause ya some pain....but i could be wrong

OMG Terri...hiccups seem as though they would be soooooooooo painful!!!!!! QUESTION: WHAT DO WE WEAR AFTER SURGERY...WILL JEANS BE TOO UNCOMFORTABLE..?? KIND OF A DUMB QUESTION I KNOW BUT I LOOOOOOOOOVE MY JEANS..LOL

Tracy: Which insurance do you have? I have Blue Cross. I think the fact that im getting my gall bladder out as well will require me to stay a day or so. Oh well, guess ill have to deal with whatever they decide for me. Are you doing the liquid diet Tracy?

I agree!!!!! I sooo want them to keep me..mot sure why, but its freakin me out a lil....even when I had my kids, I didnt want to leave the hospital...maybe its cuz im the one always takin care of everyone..and at the hospital they all take care of me!!!!!!!!!!

wow...you've only been banded one day and your sitting up at the computer, thats great!! I hope I can recover quickly! Did you have your gallbladder out? Mine is coming out cuz its got stones in it apparantely.

yip, he might be keeping me a night he said!

My surgeon said 36-48 hours is how long ill be at the hospital! At least that is what I thought he said!!! Im gonna call right now..LOL

wow..home the same day??? They dont keep you ????

Can someone break down EXACTLY how much we are to take in for both the liquid and the mushy stages. How much protein? Carbs? Calories? water? etc

OMG...is it April 18th yet? Is it me or is this month going by soooooo slooooooowly!!!!!!!! lol Ive waited so long for this...and now it wont come soon enough..lol.....hold on, im gonna try to click my heels three times and see if I can make it to the 18th real quick...ha ha ha....didnt work

OK, MY QUESTION IS THIS, WHEN ON THE LIQUID DIET POST OP CAN YOU HAVE THE CREAMY STUFF, LIKE SMOOTHIES OR CREAMY SOUPS, OR IS IT JUST CLEAR STUFF?????:help:

Anyone think its weird that my doc didnt tell me to "empty out" before my surgery???? Ive read sooooooooooo many threads and they talk a lot about that!!
