Doriso

I was petrified as well! I cried all the way to the operating theatre! When I came around the surgeon laughed because the first thing I said was thanks so much for not letting me die! It was all very scary but I am so please I had it done, had it dne in April this year and I have lost 56 pounds nice and steady!

Hi just logged on, I also have the 14cc band!!! Ihad it done in April and have lost 58 lbs so good luck!

Hi IMfine and everyone else I have also had my operation lost weight then put 10 pounds back on! I went for a consultation to discuss my first fill with my consultant. He explained that there are different sizes of bands I have a larger one which means that now I will feel no restrction, however when I have my fills I will feel much more restricted than if they put a smaller band on. Therefore putting a bit of weight back on is fine I havent stretched anything and it will come off as soon as I have my fill!!!So dont worry remember this is not a sprint but a marathon!! GOOD LUCK:clap2:

I had 5 including my port!

I remember itching really bad dont worry someone told me it is just your nerves etc re growing mine still itch sometimes now and I am 4 months post op!!

do you know we have all been there babe! it is well worth sticking to it, just hink hoe proud of yourself you will be when you walk down to that operating table knowing that you stuck to the diet to give yourself the best possible start!!! If you dont you will probably feel really bad at the nd of the day what I kept telling myself what is this small amount of time in your entire life!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Hi I was banded on the 25 th April and I had a liquid diet only for 4 weeks then mushy foods for 2 weeks so I have ust started on normal food but I felt varying what liquids I had made me feel much better! Keep going it will be worth it!

That was very nice I was banded on the 25th April and I am on my last few days of liquid diet!!! Finding it harder now as the rummble in my tummy has started!!!!!!!!:omg: Never mind I nearly caved in but thought no I am better than this:clap2:

Hi I was glued after my band but I had staples on my C section and they didnt hurt at all when they were removed I am sure you will be fine!!!!

Hi guys yesterday had a fulll slimfast shake for breakfast! and 2 litres of water, a homemade chicken soup for lunch and for tea half a can of oxtail soup!!!! 600 calories!!!! I am starting to get fed up of soup I am sure that once I get the next two weeks over I wonthave soup EVER AGAIN

Thanks suzanne I can only fit half down at the moment or I feel like I am way too full, I would think as it all settles down I will be able to have more! Yes I am taking multivitamin, having to take it in tablet form no problems yet!!!! Tried to get liquid vits from everywhere but just couldnt get them anywhere!!!!! :-)

hi everyone I got banded last wednesday so I am on liquids at the moment yesterday I had: B; Half a slimfast shake 110 calories L; Solero ice cream 110 callories D; home made tomato soup 1/2 cup 90 callories Several glasses of water! total 310 calories.. Is this enough I dont want by body to go into starvation mode!!!!!!

Hi everyone I am being banded tommorrow and as expected I am very nervous, just packed my bag, can anyone tell me if I should expect a lot of pain, and does anyone know how long the op takes generally, I have been reading posts on this site for a while and you have all been really positive which has helped me stick to my:clap2: pre op diet!!!!

Thanks so much! I have made my weight line thing from the ticker factory but can you tell me how to get it on this screen as I am rubbish at IT and cant work it out!

Look at it this way u only have to try for 14 days out of your entire life! to loose 10 pounds that is how I looked at it, I ate 50g of cereal in morning, piece of fruit for break, I had 50g of meat and as much salad as I wanted no dressing!for lunch. then a piece of fruit for afternoon snack. Then for dinner I had 50g of meat and as many veg as I wanted but no carbs! I managed to loose 10 pounds in 7 days. The way I kept myself on line was to think that if I wanted to be thinner this was the way in which I could acheive it buy yourself something nice in a size smaller so you have something to aim for, best of luck!!!!!!

:biggrin1: :biggrin1: I just wanna say a big thankyou to everyone for their support I have done it! got banded at 3pm on wednesday I was a little sick after and the wind pain wasn't very nice but I got up and walked around for ages! had a good snooze then came ut of hospital on the thursday morning all glued up and ready to roll!!! This is the first day of the rest of my life I thought you only live once and I am goona make the most of it! Lost 10 pounds on my pre op which I was impressed with!!!!! Thanks fellow bandsters:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hi I got banded this wed 25th, I was quite poorly after with sickness. However I am allergic to Morphine and the anathetist did say that in being allergic I was more likely to feel sick afterwards! the wind was the worse part which I am still getting rid of! But honestly dont worry as I was petrified and it was nothing!

I get banded tommorrow and my nerves are setting in big style! I have kept to my pre op diet so hopefully I will be fine. Good luck to you hope all goes well!!!!

I tried it before decideing to opt for surgery but it just made me feel really sick and rotten all the time!

that was good luck!!!

I am having my surgery on Wednesday so like you I am very nervous, I just dont want to die, thatis my only concern but everyone keeps saying I will be fine and I am sure I will god luck to you!!!!!
