Calling All MARCH '09 Bandsters - We need a name!
AmandaS replied to gabi311b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I too, was banded on the 13th. I have had some chest pains which I am pretty sure are gas....it seems to kind of roll across the chest and can be very uncomfortable at times...taking Gas-X, seems to be better then and if I walk a bit....also have been having heartburn at times...How is your pain otherwise? I am doing well in that part to the point where it freaks me out as I thought there would be more belly pain...sleeping is the worst in that area. -

Hi All!! I was also banded the 13th. Have some gas pain and some incision pain but am about a 2-3 on that level...Sleeping is the hardest thing right now as I was used to side sleeping and that hurts right now, but otherwise, it's going great....funny enough I am starting to feel hungry which is what I dreaded but I will survive....sipping water and my protein....yum...lol Congrats to all of us March bandsters. -
How is everyone doing? Did everyone's surgery go as expected/anticipated? Hope you all are doing great

Thanks for sharing...isn't it amazing how different all the pre-op diets are. They also don't seem to be really guided by size either...I have seem larger people on here not have to do pre-op (so unfair :party:) and smaller ones who do....just wish there was some general idea. I ate green bean yesterday as I made them for my family and felt guilty....1 green bean. How silly am I. Good luck all!! We are all going to do GREAT!

How is everyone doing? Getting excited now that we are actually in the month of March? I am on the liquid diet and it is plyaing havoc with my system...but I am going to get through this....ugh. What does everyone's pre-op look like? Is everyone on liquid and for how long? I am protein shakes for 2 weeks...others?

Ack...I am starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. My surgeon likes 2 weeks of a high protein liquid diet...and if I need to chew something, carrots or beef jerky...this is going to be so difficult. I will be strong, but I pity my family...hehe
