I was like you 2much fun, I love popcorn! I am 21 days since I had surgery!! I am just starting to eat OK! but I miss popcorn LOL I also really miss drinking with a straw, I used a straw for every drink, I feel like I am learning how to drink again out of a cup I feel I sometimes gulp and create gas, I wonder if I would not be better off with a straw again! Feeling great, and looking forward to the journey!!

LinsC, can you please tell me what the Protien shots are called, I am day 6 and having terrible gas pains, and definetly not getting enough protien, because I get nauseous, first 4 days were ok, but last 2 have not been good, and I am also back at work! Keep having to remember we are healing!! Good Luck!!

I agree, I was banded on the 20th, so I am also day 4, I also have no appetite, I am trying to push liquids downs, cause I know I need it! I am also very tired! I just said, I can't wait to feel normal, what ever that might feel like! Like on the pre diet, I want to get to the feel of Normal! I am just trying to relax, rest and recover. I have to go to work Monday also! Good Luck!!

Well, I am now on day 2 after surgery which was on the 20th, I have no appetite, just trying to get down enough liquids and Vitamins, I feel good, not in any significant pain, definitely something new inside me!! Just trying to recoup, rest, and let it all heal. I see a lot of people saying they are hungry, and want more, but I am good, not nauseous , just content right now. Looking forward to the journey, just want to be HEALTHY!! Good Luck with the pre op diet, it is really hard, this is not hard right now, as I am not hungry!! YET!!

Well I had my surgery yesterday. Feeling good today. Just sipping apple juice. Gonna drink a shake throughout the day. So far so good ????

Congratulations, very inspirational, I am getting banded tomorrow, and love seeing the success!!

I hear you, I am on day 12 of the pre op diet!! Yesterday was HELL, I had to attend a bridal shower at my daughters for her best friend, and I thought I was going to fail, but I made it through!! Everyday I have only eaten a small amount of vegetables and all the shakes. It is challenging, but I am letting it be the beginning, and after all this we will have an appreciation for good food. Good luck on you journey

I am also new here, I am booked for surgery on August 20, I have been on the Pre Op for 7 days today, its not easy, but I feel it is the beginning of the new ME!! Getting excited and anxious for Surgery!! Good Luck!!
