I love sushi and can eat it everyday. I was wondering if I will be able to eat it again after I am banded?

I just recently had surgery on March 19th. I must agree about their program being awesome.. I was banded by Dr. Johnsrud. I also had a private room and the burses were great. The best part about the program is the support groups. They are the 1st and 3rd tuesday of the month. Natalie and Heidi are great also. Anytime you have a question just give them a call.

Well i was banded on March 19th and came home today. When I got out of surgery I was in no pain. I did take pain medication last night to help me sleep. I had some pain in my left shoulder and in my port area. I feel pretty good. Not really hungry at all. Thank goodnes for ice chips and sugarfree popsicals... I will most likely take some pain meds to help me sleep tonight at home. Walking is good fro the gas. I can't wait to take a shower tomorrow morning.

The first 5 days were the toughest for me. You can do it. Just remember this is for your health.. Stay stong

Nurselori I'm sure you are in good hands. I will be praying for all of us getting banded. Can't wait

The avenue is a nice store to shop at. Quality clothes.. Like Angie said ""I won;t miss shopping there" I reallly want to buy a nice dress from Ann Taylor..(outlet store of course) LOL

I can't wait to fit into the "swings" again. I remember going on a roller coaster with my dad before he had gastric bypass. He was large enough to make me feel safe. He held me down quite nicely. Now he has lost 200 pounds and I hold him down nicely. Can't wait for the day to come that both of us feel like we are going to fall out!

I tried it for awhile. Some of the food is ok and some of it does taste like dog food. I still have some left if you would like to try it. The program work pretty well for a short period of time. I lost 20 and then I gained it back. The program gets to be really expensive

The first 5 days of liquids were the hardest for me.. I keep hearing everyone from my support group say that if you can make it throught the pre-banding diet, you can make it after!

Good Luck!!! Just think only 4 more days of liquids until you are banded!! YEAH

Just breath in and breath out.. You are ready for this change in your life. You can do it. Just 2 days sooner to a new and healthier you! Good Luck!

I am ready! I'm getting really excited. Not nervous at all. Good luck to everyone

A good pair of walking shoes!

Just think only 6 more days left on the liquid diet. I know after banding its another 2 weeks, but we can do it! Here's to being healthy!

Good luck to everyone! I have been on the liquid diet now for 6 days. It has gotten better. The first 4 days were tough. I am so jealous of the people who don't have to do the 2 week pre-op diet. One more week till banding. Have fun on your cruise!

This website is full of information. Good luck with your surgery...

Am I the only one who is excited to start a liquid diet? I guess I just am because that means I am going to have my lapband soon. Good Luck to everyone on their liquid diet!

I am being banded on the 19th of march and was told that I could not bowl for at least 4 weeks after surgery. I am a member of Team USA and I will not be able to bowl at training camp.(our trainging is at the olympic training center in colorado springs april 1-6) Pretty bummed about that but I will still be able to take part in the rest of the festivities. I will be able to bowl USBC Queens and Nationals just in the knick of time. Bowling is pretty brutal on your body no matter what weight your ball is. Take it easy.. I'm sure this all depends on how fast of a healer you are also. GOOD LUCK!

Hello.. I will be banded on March 19th. I can't wait. I go on the liquid diet on the 5th. Good luck to everyone this month!

Congrats my fellow March 19th bander!!!!! It will be here before we know it!

Two weeks prior to march 19th I have to be on a liquid diet. I have to stop all medications also. I had to stop my birthcontol 3 weeks prior. I am going to a pre-surgical class on the 6th of march for 4 hours. Right now I am on a high protein low carb diet and hitting the gym everyday. Just want to get a jumpstart. Good luck everyone

The ISOPURE zero carb that I like best is the pineapple orange banana. It is so yummy! I pretty much like them all so far. Some of them taste like an otter pop. I bought them buy he case and I have a GNV card so the price came down a bit

I will be banded on March 19th by Dr. Johnsrud in orange county. I've already started a semi-liquid diet. I go on all liquids march 5th. Any words of wisdom? The waiting seems to be the hardest part. I did start going back to the gym.

Best of luck to you! I wil be banded on the 19th!

Hey there. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 19th as well. I start the liquid diet on the 5th. I have already stared a semi-liquid diet now. I have a light breakfast with a liquid protein drink. (isopure zero carb) Lunch is a solid meal. and dinner is liquid protein. Good luck to you!!!!
