    Can Anybody Relate?

    My surgery was may 4th. Ive lost 20lbs b/t april 25th & May 15th. I recently weighed and gained back 5Lbs after 2 weeks on solid foods. My 1st fill is june 2nd. I feel like I can eat a whole bunch of crap foods, and a little bit of good foods. I thought I could just get the band, not be hungry, eat a little bit and whalaa! Or say no thanks I Dont want anymore bananna pudding......ect.. but that stuff goes down so easy, that I want more and more, So I've decided to stay away from foods that go down that easy, and taste that good.

    hopeful hanner

    Thanks for responding. I'm a little slow on this site, My surgery was 5-4 monday. ate 4 banana popsicles & jello gelating and started frothing out of my mouth & nose. The doctor said I was very swollen & there was allready 3 cc saline put in my band in surgery. So he took it out at the office OUch. Hence I can swallow again. He says this rarely happens. I said, well If it rarely happens then it will happen to me, optimist that I am. So I am doing the treadmill, & broth & diluted apple juice, still burping. Stomach still hurts when I move certain ways. I just want to eat normally, not "special" anymore. I know time takes time, But I dont have the patience for time lol.
  3. I Have a BMI of 45. I cant believe this has happened again ( the weight gain). Behavioral & spiritual methods have worked, for a while. I'm on the presurgical diet from north Fl surgeons. Surgery is scheduled for 2weeks. I'm hopeful & nervous. I'm on the liquid protein drink/bar 4 a day plus a broiled chicken breast, or tuna without mayo. My first day today. I'm doing this for 2 weeks for the sake of a safe surgery. Thats what they tell me. Im trying to think positive, but I find myself crying a little bit. Positive Positive. I'll make it through. Can someone respond w/ inspiring words, or not. A response would be helpful to me. Thanks. :crying:
  4. my surgery date was may 5th. So my 3rd day out. I was eating banana popsicles with no problem, then I ate some sf Jello gelatin and Boomb! Frothin out of my nose and my mouth. couldnt get anything down. Doctor said I was very swollen & there was allready 3cc's put in my band at surgery, So he took it out and I was Able to swallow water there. So I've been cautious, Just drinking clears....broth water, diluted apple juice ect...
  5. I'm new at this site and trying to navigate. I guess this thread will be read. I'm having surgery monday 5/4. My best friend, momnlaw, daughternlaw will be with me...because I'm so chicken of the procedure. I'll get over it, after I go throw up. I guess It's just I'm not used to dealing with my feelings without food, and having been on this preop diet for a week and a half, I just get mad alot, cry sometimes, and am impatient with others. I Know? I'll get thru this. I.... Wow look how many times I've used "I". Better get myself out of me, and do something else. Thanks for listening.
  6. Hi LindaO, I'm trying to figure this site out. Youre the only one on my site for some reason. My surgery is this Monday, and I'm trying to think positively.

    Medical Evaluation

    Hi! I read your story so far. I weigh 280 w/ a BMI of 45. I've had the 6 mths of diets and doctor visits. I cant believe Ive gotten back up to this weight. :thumbdown: Ive been on everything including behavior, & spiritual methods. They worked for a while. Anyway I'm on the presurgery diet. My surgery is set for may 4th. :thumbup: I'm hopeful, but a little nervous about my furture eating. It was good to read your story but I'm going to keep reading to see if i can find someone who's at my stage now. Keep in touch.
