Congratulations!! So exciting!

Does your clinic have a 24 hour call line? That sounds very scary!

It went away I also had a hernia operation

Well, I hope you take it easy on yourself! It sounds very painful.

not uncommon. you may want to check with the office about something to help you go #2.

Took something today I finally went and on myself lol

I will take a walk in a few after the shower etc

congrats on surgery!!

first few days PO can be painful -hoping things get better one day at a time take care my friend - good luck! kathy

Thank you

Nyu still does it

I'm happy with the lapband I already lost 75 on my own

Then that's all that matters.Good luck.

I'm scared I'll gain it back.

You mean when you get to your goal weight? The band stays inside you forever and you may still need to continue having the fill adjusted once in a while to maintain your weight.

I didn't cheat. What was the point? As mortified as I was that I had to resort to surgery to help me lose weight, imagine how even more mortified it would have been to have found out that I didn't have surgery because my liver wasn't shrunk enough. Some tough love here coach....if you are thinking about how to cheat and you haven't even had surgery yet, you might find it difficult to have the success you must want so badly. Really dude...follow the rules. If you don't, you may be going under the knife for nothing.

Its hard to go cold turkey and it's any did drugs booze food etc I check lap band website and their pre op diet is. A lot better never felt dizzy before until I started this bs diet woke up this morning shaking this diet has to be revised other places have better preop

I lost 71 on my own just messed up me knee to the point knee doc said stop working out

This liquid diet is bs

I'm not going to lie. The liquid phase of this IS the worse and to me was the hardest part. However its only a short term thing. I'm only 5 mo post op but that phase feels like a distant memory. Keep it up!

The liquid diet is absolutely the toughest thing I think. Your liver needs to be in the safest possible condition for surgery so hang in there!

I would call your surgeons office for advice. My liquid diet only included clear broth but some doctors allow creamed soups. Give them a call to confirm his/her orders.

Hi coach. you should have gotten instructions on what you can and cannot eat/drink. I recall we were told clear broth only. no creamed soups. I had chicken and beef consomme only. That's why I added the veggies to make it more 'filling'. Call the office and talk to one of the NUTS. They can guide you. I'm helping you as much as possible but my pre-op diet was 2 1/2 years ago and I can't recall all of the directions exactly.

woo hoo - happy one year surgiversary (you thought i didn't remember LOL) you are doing great - keep up the good work kathy

Yup it made me go right to the trash to throw it away

i think the pre-made swiss chocolate that come in a bottle are wonderfulllll - only type i drink - yum yum kathy
