Hi everyone, I was banded aug 25th and really have been shocked how hard my recovery has been! I am so sore I can barely move,even though I keep moving! So it doesn't get worse. I'm on a liquid diet for two weeks post op and have already done 1 week post op.. I have been so hungry! But I am sticking with it. I am having lots left shoulder pain, and I was shocked by how many incision's and the length of them were. None were tiny like I expected! Thats the latest update for now!

My pre op diet Optifast was making me ill, its milk based and I am lactose intolerant,they still want me to take it just cut it down to 3 DAY and sugar free jello,thats it. I am feeling better now thank goodness! I was so sick. I am still having lot hunger pains but I am drinking water to help, can't wait to get through this phase,lol, Good luck to all:thumbup:

I am scheduled aug 25th. I am feeling very sick on the pre surgery diet, I am on optifast 5x a day. I am having severe headaches,nausea and dizzy spells. I am very fatigue! I am having second thoughts about lapband surgery because of my pre surgery diet, Has anyone else had these problems. Also to anyone who has had the band would they do it all over again? I am very nervous, and just want to make sure I made the right choice.
