Hello everyone! I am new on this forum and I am getting banded tomorrow morning!!! Yeah!!! I am really excited, and a little nervous. But most of all I am just ready to get healthy and happy! If anyone has any advice for me, feel free to email or leave a post! Thankyou!! Teresa:)

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the support. It's nice to know that there are alot of people out there going through the same thing that I am! I am happy to say that I am feeling alot better today. I don't have any problems getting my Fluid in each day but I am not hungry at all. My fiance ordered pizza for himself last night and when I smelled it, I thought I was going to through up. I am very excited to start my new life. I cannot wait to buy new clothes and just notice my body changing. I can feel myself getting full very easily and I have had no problems with drinking anything. I enjoy a nice cup of hot decaf coffee at night before I go to bed(the best part of my day!!) Other than that, I really have to force myself to finish 1/4 cup of creamed Soup or cream of wheat, it really doesn't look appealing to me. I cannot wait until the pureed faze though. I absolutely love sweet potatoes and yams so I am way excited to get to eat them(if I'm hungry) I have made up a whole diet for myself which includes fresh fruits and vegetables and chicken. I am excited to start cooking instead of buying fast food!!!:ogre Well I need to go back upstairs and in bed. I will keep you all posted here and there!!

Well I am home everyone!! Other than the bad gas pains, I feel a little sore but good. I stayed 1 extra night in the hospital because I had some problems with liquids. Other than that, I feel good. I am really not hungry at all!!! I have to force myself to eat my breakfast and drink my protein shakes. I am just glad to be home. I have lost 5 pounds since wednesday!! YEAH!!!!! Probably all the water in my tummy. I really do feel good though. Kinda sore but I got some yummy pineapple flavored liquid pain killers, so I am set for a few days. Well I just wanted to check in and tell everyone I was okay! I will be back later!! Thank you everyone for the posts and the nice words of incouragement!! :) :D

The phosphosoda is a bowel prep I had to take before surgery. Let me tell you, it was gross. It made me throw up and then I spent 2 hours in the bathroom. It is a salin based laxative. I will never ever ever take this stuff ever again!!! Other than that, I have 12 hours to go until I am on my way to a new life!!!

I am doing great!! A little scared about this phosphosoda i have to drink in about 15 minutes. The nurse told me it's the worst thing about the whole process. But other than that, can't wait to start dropping the pounds!!

Thankyou very much. I try not to listen to the bad things that people say. All I know is that no matter how bad any complications may be, they will never be as bad as the gastric bypass. I know I will be fine. Are you excited??

Thankyou very much!! I cannot wait!! Do you find that you get hungry or craving's alot?
