:smile2:I will me into 24 pants soon and 22/24 shirts now. Looking for either. Thanks, Susan

I had my band put on Oct 21st, and I'm not in a lot of pain just uncomfortable but I can't get comfortable to sleep any more than 4 hours at a time. I'm not talking the pain meds as I was having a not stop headache and felt like crap. I still don't have any pain just soreness, but I feel like crap, blurred vision and sick to my stomach and also occasionally feel hot but I'm not running a fever, plus have diarhea which is a dark green. I know gross but I'm afraid there is something wrong. Is this normal or when will i start feeling better and not like crap? Thanks for any advice you can give me

Thanks all for your advice. I did call my dr on Friday and they had me come in because they thought I may be getting dehydrated. So I went in and they said i was starting to so they told me to drink more fluids and told me to do pureed foods now. I asked about about the yogurt and shake stage and they said no go to pureed stage so I did last night. Then also told me to take the hydor codeine at night because it would firm up the bowels some which I did but now today i have the foggy head again. Which I hope will wear off as the day goes, so I 'm going to drink as much Fluid as I can and hope this goes away. From eating pureed food last night I got bad gas, so I went and got the pyzmme that somebody recommend on this site and it helped make it tolerable. It is hard to do anything with this fogging,blurred vision feeling it is driving me nuts, because I feel pretty good other wise. Does anybody else have this fogging,blurred vision feeling and how long did it take to go away? I'm hoping to go back to work on Tues but at this point not sure if it is going to happen. :thumbup:

I'm ready to give up I have had one hurdle after another and I'm ready to give up. First I had my surg rescheled because I couldn't take Medi Fast and had to just lean and grean and wasn't losing as much as she wanted. Now I have lost 18.5 pds and surgery is suppose to be Tues. Oct 21st. Went to the Dr today for last way in and then I get home and I have a letter in the mail stating I need clearance from OB/GYN in order to have surgery. I don't get it I meet with the Dr. last week and she never mentioned I needed anything else, just had to keep losing the weight. Now I'm sure it will be have to be cancelled as I haven't had a visit to OB/Gyn as i have had full hystermcty several years ago and had a mamo in 2007 Totaly discourged and ready to give up. Has anybody else had this issue or also had to get clearance for this. Do see what a paps and mamo has to do with this surgery!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for rattling but I very upset and disappointed now and don't have any confidence in the Dr anymore as why would they have said something when I was in the office. Do I say something about it or should I just let it go and let them due the surgery if they will? My fear is that I do the liquid diet all week end and they will call me monday and say I can't have it because of this. Any advice!!!! :wink2:

Thanks, I did call them and I don't need it becasue I had a hystertomy which I gues was not indicated in my chart. Question thou how did you get the tickler weight loss to show up, I can't find you paste i made one but don't where to put it thanks

Yes I'm going to Ellis with Dr. Ingram. But I called and they said since I had a hystertomy i don't need it. Which I told them before that I had but I guess it wan't in the records. Thank goodness!!! Everything is all set for Tues.

My Dr make you loss 10% of weight prior to surgery. I have almost 30 lbs to lose, I have lost 16lb so far and it has been hard. I have had to have the surgery post poned once all ready because I didn't make it, i have been trying and the Dr. now sees if I lose another 8lbs I can have it done. But I'm having problems with that as I can't take the medifast as I have a very senstive stomach and it has only been coming of at about 1lb a week. i have explain this to the Dr and she says you need to lose it or postpone and they are no help on how to lose. Any suggestions on how I can bost my weight loss quickly??? I have been on a lean and green diet for 8 weeks and it is getting really old an i need to lose this last 8 lbs in then next 2 wks as I have been rescheduled for Oct 21st. I'm begining to wonder if this all worth all this stress!!!!!!!!!!! :tt2:
