Hey... I'm thinking of your. How was the surgery? How are you feeling today? Mine went very well... they found that I had a hernia while they were putting the band on so they corrected that. I woke up this morning and about 80% of the gas pain was gone. Now I'm on to port site pain and itching.
I havent had any issue with vomiting. When I first woke up I was REALLY dizzy and disoriented. Here and there I feels like I have a huge lump in my throat and it turns out it's a big gas bubble.
How much did you end up losing on the pre-op diet? I lost 15lbs. I am SO excited to be starting this journey! And how cool that we're both doing it at the same time. I look forward to keeping track of each other.

Hi Tina. Actually, My name is Debi. SewKnotty is a play on words cause I sew and I knit. Funny tho... my mom's name is Sue.
I'd love to be friends. It'll be nice following people going thru the same journey. Are you on your pre-op diet yet? Where are you located? Are you nervous? Am I asking too many questions?

1/27 will be my 7th day on the pre-op diet and is also my pre-op appointment. I am not quite as restricted as you are. In the mornining I have a shake and I can have 4oz of fruit. So I end up adding a banana to the shake and a handful of blueberries. Lunch I'll have a shake and either an apple or a hard boiled egg. Dinner I'll have 4oz of protein, 4oz of Veg and a Tbl spoon of "healthy oil". So far I've lost 13 lbs in 6 days!!
People keep saying "why dont you just keep doing your pre-op diet and dont do the operation" They just dont get it... my FOCUS is this surgery. That's why I'm being successful on the pre-op diet. If I go this alone I'll learn zero good eating habits and I'll cheat. I do every time.
Will you have to stay overnight? What did he say about the surgery? I'm very excited for my appointment. I cant wait to go down my loooooong list of questions. LOL
