I am doing fine now, had a long recovery though. I can eat pretty much anything. I am staying away from any kind of bread though. I am hungry pretty frequently too. Hope the wedding planning is coming along with as little stress as possible!

How are you doing girly?

I am soooooooooo much better! I was hospitalized Friday for IV's (don't ever get dehydrated...it was the worst) and discharged Sunday. I am now eating regular foods and drinking only water (that's all I want). How was your surgery and recovery?

Welcome! I just got banded on the 11th. I'm still recovering but I know that it will all be worth it.

Good luck tomorrow! I just had mine on the 11th!

I got banded on the 11th and am having a tough time recovering and staying hydrated. It's been a week and I am finally starting to feel better.

I have been absolutely miserable! Basically it all went down hill on Saturday. I ended up becoming dehydrated and throwing up and then staying dehydrated until yesterday. It was a fight to get liquids in. I was also super gassy because I had nothing in me. I am feeling better today and started eating mushy foods like potato and applesauce. I hope you are doing much better than I, lol!

Ooh, that is so exciting! I hope your surgery goes well. Keep me posted!

Hey, glad to hear you are recovering well. I came home this morning from the hospital. I guess I am doing well overall.

Hey Lyndsay, I came home this morning and I have been pretty sore but taking the liquid meds that have been helpful. I have been sleeping off and on today. Have you wanted to eat? I haven't at all, but am trying to get sort of nutrients because I had nothing but ice and sipped on water yesterday.

Hey girl, glad you are doing ok. I got home this morning and I am sore myself. I have been taking the liquid pain killer and that helps for a few hours. I don't have much of an appetite right now. So, I don't think I realized that you were coming home the same day as the surgery.

I hope everything went well yesterday! Talk to you soon!

Sounds good, look forward to seeing how your experience was. It is 5:20 and I am about to go to the hospital. Talk to you on the other side!

Alright girly! How are ya? I am still excited and feeling extra hungry today, lol. Can't wait for tomorrow! Woo-hoo!

Oh great, glad you are prepared! I will pray for you tomorrow! So exciting! I will keep you posted too!

I am doing ok, how are you? I totally have gotten used to liquids and have been sitting in the company of those eating delicious foods, which wasn't as hard as I thought. Anyway, the time is approaching. I'm not nervous yet, thank God. It would be too distracting for work if I were.

So I am so excited and not feeling nervous at all right now. I'm the type when it will hit me once I get to the pre-op room. I can't believe that it is happening so soon!

Congrats on finishing your coursework! I know how that feels! Praise God!

Congrats on the band, my surgery is the 11th, I am so excited!

I totally get not wanting all that slimfast. I can't stand anymore protein shakes...yuck for now! Anyhow, I feel really hungry today, but other than that, I lost 7lbs since Sunday so I am excited about that. My goal is to lose a total of 15 by the 11th. I can't believe we are less than a week away!

Hey girl, just checking in on you. How is the diet going? I am getting a little less hungry everyday, lol!

So, I started the liquid diet on Monday and it was hard in the beginning. I felt hungry all the time. Fortunately, I didn't get any headaches or feel weak. Since I weighed myself Sunday, I have lost 7 lbs so that is encouraging me to continue. Hope you are doing well!

Hey Lyndsay, just checking in on you? How's the diet? I hope it is getting easier. I am feeling a little less hungry everyday and seeing the pounds melt off feels good and gives me great motivation! TTYL!

Haha, brussel sprouts! I don't know if I could do that, I do not like brussel sprouts at all, though I could go for some brocolli, lol! I just weighed myself even though I wasn't planning to for another few days, but since Sunday, I have lost 4.4 lbs, so that is definitely good motivation! TTYL! Keep up the good work, 8 lbs is amazing!
