MAY 2009 Bandsters - shout out!!!

Hi, I am so confused. I know you are supposed to drink the protein drinks immediately post-op but then I'm told you can only drink 1-2 ozs. So how can you do both? My band date is 5/20 and I still seem to have so many questions. Thanks, everyone. Maybaby -

Heather, I wish all the best for you. Mine is scheduled for May 20th. I think I am still in shock about it. Nervous, but excited. Just hope I am making the right decision. Please post and let us all know how you did. Good Luck!! -

You are very reassuring about the pain and nausea. I am on an insulin pump for diabetes so I have to check my blood sugar often, esp that first day post-op. Getting off this pump is the number one reason I have chosen to be banded. Keep me posted about your recovery. May 20th is coming soon!!! -

It sounds like you are doing great!!! Congrats. I have really been afraid of the pain/nausea. I'm very nervous. Sometimes I feel better after reading posts but sometimes I feel more afraid. I'm so afraid I won't lose weight. I weighed in at 211 at my surgical consult. Would love to lose about 70!!! -

Hi Mac, I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one different with the liquid pre-op diet. I found out today that I only have to do clear liquids the day before surgery. Were you just banded this week? How are you? Are you in pain? -

Hi, I'm scheduled for May 20th but my doctor has not put me on a liquid diet. Am I missing something I should be doing? signed Maybaby -
Hey - Mine is scheduled for the day before, May 20th. I don't know if I'm ready. So excited one day- then scared to death and doubting my decision another. Good Luck to you. I'm having mine in Atlanta.

Well I guess it's time for me to start too. My band date is set for May 27th so I will be so eager to hear how all of you first of May bandsters do. I feel like I still have alot of unanswered questions but excited too. Good luck!!
