I am SOOO hungry! If all the swelling goes down after a week then why the hell do we have to wait so long to have the mushies? my stomach is growling like crazy and i am ready for some real food. I have only been on a liquid diet for a friggin week. UGH this sucks! what i would give for a piece of pizza right now. So how much weight have you lost?

yummy... pizza... you were able to get it through? it didnt get stuck? excellent. two people have told me now that they waited ten days instead of 14. maybe i will sample a mushy on the tenth day. like an egg or oatmeal or something. i am dying. i hate this liquid diet!

and then i felt myself go and i said ok here i go! and the next thing i knew i was in post op! i stayed there for a few and my heart kept palpitating and slowing way down so when they steadied me i went to my own room and relaxed. i spent the night and came home the next evening.

so i was the first scheduled surgery of the day and i got there at 530am. they took me back at like 600am and i dressed into a gown and they weighed me and put an IV in my arm. they gave me a shot of something to calm my nerves... (i was not nervous in the first place but i took it), and then my mom joined me. the doctor who knocked me out came and asked me a couple questions, the nurse came and asked some questions, and then my surgeon came and chatted with us for a few minutes. then they said are you ready? and i said yes. so they wheeled me down the hall and into a room and introduced me to two other people in there. the anastesialogist came in and handed me a mask and i put it on. he siad ok you are going to get sleepy now...

LOL ok i totally get it about being moody when i have not eaten. i am a total biatch. and then i take a bite and its like AAHH... well... i am still on liquids and all i can tell you is that i drink a lot of protein shakes with milk instead of water, pudding, and i have been living off of vitamin water. its got zero everything and tastes really good. i went to costco and got a 24 pack. i just have one on me at ALL TIMES. i could never be anorexic either. i only had to do liquids two days before surgery so tomorrow will be a week for me. Just try not to think about tomorrow. only think about today and just make it through today. one day at a time. i am running out of room so i will write another message.

yes do sundays also and we can check in with each other and hold each other accountable. how many days were you on liquids before you went to mushies? what kind of food have you been cheating with? i was so happy tonight because i went to my parents house and they were eating Taco Bell and i was like oh no - so i made my self a bowl of beef broth and had a sugar free jello cup. well - I only ate half! i was like no way! and then i was full.

Hey I think the comment you wrote below was supposed to go on my page but it went on yours. The surgery went well. I was in a lot of pain the first few days. i went and bought a stomach support band from a medical store which has helped me SO much. I was not imagining it would be this painful but it is. Today is better then the others though. I gained 5 pounds post op from the IV and the anesthesia but I finally am down one pound less then when I started. I am going to stop weighing myself daily and just weigh myself on sundays. how are you doing?

Hey chica hope you are doing great! Whats going on?

yay i finally weigh less then when i started. only one pound but hey i take it! how are you doing?

Ok so I weighed myself this morning and I am now a pound lighter then when I started. I am going to make Sundays my weigh in day. What day are you weighing yourself? This book that I have that I am journaling in, is set up for me to weigh on sundays. Damn I feel weird with no caffeine. 5 days of no caffeine. I have not gone this long in ten years.

Sorry to hear about your cold. Yeah i can imagine how sore that must make you feel. Even just laughing i wince. March 17th is my birthday! i will be 27 that day. St. Patty's Day. 10 more days of liquid diet. Sucks. Are you on mushies yet?

So i had no pre op diet and got banded on 2/25. I gained 5 pounds and have since lost a few but i am still 2.5 pounds over where i started from. is this bandster hell? will i start losing pretty soon?

Yes they gave me liquid vicoden. i am feeling much better today. my mom took me to some medical store and we got a stomach support band which has helped me so much. its like holding everything in place. i got full at lunch just now off of broth and sugar free jello which was encouraging. i weighed myself last night and i had gained 5 pounds! so i asked people on here if that is normal and everyone said yes it is normal that i am full of IV liquids and it will steadily come off in the next few days..did you experience that?

hi this is my fourth day post op and i feel much better today then yesterday. I still cannot dress myself without any pain. I am not wearing a bra still but i feel much better. I was surprised because i actually felt full today after having a bowl of broth and a sugar free jello for lunch.

Hey, i am at my parents house right now. i am in a lot of pain. i stayed at the hospital until 7pm last night. i dont know if i am a wuss or what but i cant dress myself or bathe myself or anything. i have this terrible sharp pain that is excrutiating! i dont have bad gas pains though knock on wood. how are you doing?

i am in bandland now! i am struggling though. i am in a lot of pain. i stayed at the hospital until 7 pm last night. i cant dress myself or bathe myself either. was it like that for you? i mean i am in some pain!
