It's funny, when you start drinking water you actually start craving it. I drink water all the time and I never used to drink it either! I don't even miss the diet coke anymore, and I enjoy tea and crystal light now along with the water.

This is natural, you are only normal to have all kinds of feelings. You will be successful if you follow the banster rules! You will be nervous, excited, and scared, and all those are absolutely normal!

Kathy's 10 Day Countdown Thread

As long as you are spending the night you should know if you are having any problems. Just make sure you can get your liquids down before you leave. I know what you mean, there's no place like home! -
Crystal that is fantastic!

What a great son! That my dear is a priceless NSV!

My DH tells me I am a cheap date now that I can't drink as much!

Kathy's 10 Day Countdown Thread

I can hear the excitement in your post! You might want to consider staying over the one night, just in case something needs attention. It would probably be more comfortable traveling the next day too! It's always better to be safe than sorry. Hey, I bet you have your bags packed already don't you? Just kidding ya! Post on Missy! -

Lisa Green - I love your pictures! You are looking good! You have done an awsome job! -
What is on everyone's list this year from Santa?
-
The band will always work for you as long as you follow the rules and get your fills. You will always have to work with the band just as you would at first, but it will always be there.
-
Yeah, I make all kinds of sounds, DH and I have lots of good laughs about them!
-
If you are going to go through a major surgery, why wouldn't you want to follow the banster rules and eat properly? The band is a tool, and we must work with it, it is not going to do all the work by itself.

It will be here before you know it! The best way to calm those nerves is to post and post and post! -
I don't even notice mine anymore unless I am feeling for it.

My doctor keeps track of the fluid in my band. He withdraws the fluid each time to check it. I would be very careful about letting someone else do it.

Hi Amber and welcome! Just wanted to say good luck with your surgery. Please post and let us know how you are doing when you can. In the meantime, browse through the posts and learn everything you can.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

-
Whoooo Hoooo Michelle! You deserve it girl! You have done an awsome job and I am very proud of you! :banana :banana You have been a great inspiration to me! I am so happy you are being rewarded with your hard work.

Welcome, glad you came and posted!

Heather - I have drinks once in a while, however you are only two weeks post-op. I think you need to wait until your band heals, I didn't have my first one till 6 weeks. I would definately take it easy until you are healed up.
-
Good Luck with your surgery, we will look forward to hearing about your surgery!
-
Have you had a fill yet? If not, you are still wide open, and still healing. It would only be natural for you to get hungry if you are wide open. Are you on solids yet? If so, make sure you are eating the protein first, then veggies. Make sure you don't drink with your meals or an hour afterwards.

Welcome to bandland! I'm glad you had a great experience, thank you for sharing it with us!

They served me coffee in the hospital. I also ask my Doctor about it and he said it won't hurt me!
