  1. i was told no swimming till scabs were gone. and no sex for 3 weeks. so i'd assume no rides... they both tend to jerk u around. Work out after 2 weeks but ease into it

    Starving help!

    "I was banded on thurs and it's not the easiest thing to do but we will love our selves for doing it!! im almost on the same diet as u but no yogurt and no pudding. Also only clear broth :sneaky: I also can't wait for mashed potatos :w00t:
  3. Hang in there :) If u i were to take my lap-band out next year I'd look at the clothes i could have fit in and regret not following this threw!

  4. So far so good. I think the thing that sucks the most is making yummy food for my boy-friend and not being able to even have a bite:p

    help.......

    I am not having those problems... i've only been banded for a day now. It sounds like ur band is still too tight if you can't keep fluids down. It may also be because of the infections. Call your Dr. asap and update him, this would be my suggestion. Good luck
  10. I was banded yesterday the 6th!! Still pretty sore but no nausea and no gas pain. The nurse said I've got it easy if only the port pain is there :tt1: I'm also able to take full drinks of liquid, i guess i didn't swell very much. I personally am a belly sleeper so it will be different for awhile on my back ...We did it Go august bandster :scared2:
  11. Yes it will all be worth it!!!! My surgery went well :) No gas pain but port pain for sure. im on liquids for 7 days so im sure its not all that bad... some do it for a month! How u holdin up?

  12. No i get banded in 2 days :)I'm very excited because i want to start eating real food again :P although there is still the month of post-op dieting ahead :) I'm glad yours went well :)

    can't we all get along :biggrin:
  18. i went to the weight loss institute of AZ I paid some program fee's but it came with lifetime nutritional and Dr. advise. I personally found it to be worth it. The Weight Loss Institute has been awesome! No regrets!
  19. yeah i was going to get the lapband in sept but i gained 15 pounds doing good bye meals. some people have been able to eat rice but not a large portion. My Dr. has his patients do the pre-op diet to shrink their liver... maybe your has shrank... who know. U with find support here :)

  20. We get banded the same day.. i think that's pretty cool. i am also nervous and wonder what the heck i am getting into but i want to be thin and healthy soooooo bad. I am hear for you through this crazy journey. since i am just as far along as you i can't offer advise but i can share my experiences. Did you start your pre-op diet? i did today. Kinda hungry hear and there but no biggy. How's it for you?

  21. Hey there just trying to see it from all angles and opinions:biggrin:. What has been the suckiest part of this for you as well as the best part? Does anyone regret having the surgery? Please add post to this so i know what i am getting into. I will be attending a seminar soon!

    Can I do this???

    "Oh well you have blown it now you may as well wait and start over on Monday." I've said that sooo many times it was funny to read it on yours. I am pre-op right now and have the same fears as you do. thank-you for your posting. I've made up my mind to just do it. i'm having faith it will be different then all the others because my stomach will be small as heck lol. If i eat things i am not aloud it will hurt! i am a big baby and don't like pain. So with the combination of these things i will succeed! Best of luck to you. listen to your heart! you know what best for you!
  23. Hey you... My pre-op diet is only for 2 weeks and they are ahving me eat chicken, turkey, tuna, Crystal light, water and protien shakes. Then 2 weeks after surgery im on all liquids. Then 2 weeks of mushies. I'm going to call my Dr. just to double check.
