I'm 7 days post op, and like you say, things get better every day, i've lost 13lbs so far, but can't feel it clothes wise yet as i'm still very bloated from surgery, hoping to make some potato & veg Soup later from the liquid stage thread, i'll let you know how it goes. Toots2,

Hi Bloo, how are you feeling today? i would continue to take you pain meds so that they are in your system.....Why Suffer needlessley...each day will get better. take care Toots2. xx

Please dont be down, i had a rough time too, am 6 days post op now, but you can and will get over this, picture yourself how you want to be, think of the reasons why you took this step, i promise things do get better.......Reach for the stars. Take Care Toots2. xx go you :whoo:

Hey Missy, Sorry you're feeling poorly i was banded on the 5th, and had my first smoothie today, this may not have anything to do with yoghurt, i beleive we can sometimes get this a few days after surgery, due to the drugs we're administered, sorry i can't be more help. Feel good soon. toots2 xx

Hi everyone, well i'm finally banded, had a bit of a rough time & had to be re-addmitted, for dehydration, and not keeping on top of my pain meds, anyway 4 days post op, and feeling much better, + 11lbs down already, know this is not about weight loss at the moment, and is a time for getting better, but thought i'd hop on the scales this morning anyway!! wishing you all the very best. Take care toots2. xx

Thanks docsdeb.........for your kind words....this site has been very helpful to me in making my decesion to get banded, and i'm sure it wiil be a great source of support throuhout the coming months, good luck with your pre-op diet & with your banding, will keep you posted. take care toots2xx:)

hello fatwillgo!!! have had half a shake today & half a can of ww mushroom soup, it was lush!!!!, still drinking plenty, and about to go for a little walk.

What you are both feeling is quite normal, like fairydust said you really don't know much about the operation, i am 4 days post op, and yes it has not been plain sailing for me, due to becoming dehydrated and not keeping on top of my pain meds, i had to be re-addmitted, but this was down to me getting things right, feeling much better than i did and on the road to recovery, plus i'm 11lbs down already, that has to be a bonus, haha! take care Toots2.x

Hi Everyone. Please can you tell me what your sugeon said about giving up smoking before your surgery? Did anyone continue to smoke when they were told not to? what was your experience of this? thanks toots:confused:

Yeah................Go us,

thanks you all for your support, it's just giving up food and the ciggies at the same time. is gonna be real hard! it seems a daunting task, but i have to do both for my health......and i'm determinded to do it! Heyhon63; what date are you to be banded? Good Luck to you all. xx

Thanks all of you for your replies, i have to give up 2 weeks before surgery, so wanted to know what your surgeons said about it, as i read somewhere on here that, some surgeons, hadn't mentioned it,

Rwell4. i'm in the uk, dont have to do a pre-op diet, just eat something light the night before....try and look at it in a posotive way, at least is preparing you for the liqiuds, following the surgery.
