    All Set For Sept 9th

    Surgery was the 4th and everything went great! Wish I had done this sooner. Funny thing was, I never got nervous. On the day of the surgery I was almost too calm. LOL Loving my band already!
  6. Good morning everyone. Well, I got my band Friday. Everything is going awesome! I was released from the hospital on Saturday. Sunday, I was up walking around the track at a close by school. Also, went shopping for awhile and got a pedicure. I have never had a pedicure and it was nice. We also went to visit friends at the campground and sat around the fire for a couple of hours. I was a little tired when we got home. The worst part for me was a headache. I think I may have been de-hydrated. I am trying to get all the liquids down, but I am not hungry at all and I am trying to sip, sip, sip. Gas pains have been very minimal. Today I am feeling great! Cortney - what happened to our yahoo group? I tried to go there this morning, but it says group does not exist. What I needed the most at the hospital was carmex for my lips after surgery. I was only allowed to sip a small medicine cup of water per hour for 6 hours after surgery. No popsicle until 6 hours later. Then the water was also up to 2 medicine cups of water. It was crazy. My mouth was sooooo dry. UGH! JoLynne
  7. Well, I am back home. Surgery was yesterday (Friday) and everything went great. I have little pain. Most of the pain is in one incision. The rest feel fine. Doctor said I only have to do one more week of clear liquids instead of two weeks. I am so excited about starting mushies next week. I have been on Clear liquids since Aug. 21st. Today, I have been sipping on water and ate one popsicle, but other that that I have not been hungry at all. I hope I feel full like this for a long time. That would definitely make dieting easy. I am so happy I had the surgery, it was a piece of cake. For everyone else with surgeries coming up, don't worry, everything has been worth it so far !! Well, going to rest for awhile. Ta-Ta for now. JoLynne
  8. Well, tomorrow is my surgery. Not too nervous yet. Tomorrow will be a different story. My surgery is at 11:00 and I will be staying overnight. Praying all goes well with anesthesia! I will check in with everyone when I get home. I have had 2 weeks of clear liquids and will have another 2 weeks after surgery. I am sick of all the sweet tastes! I found Swanson Vegetable Broth today and it is very good. Went and bought a bunch more tonight, so when I get home I will have something in the house. Well, September Bandsters, Talk to you all real soon. :smile2:
  9. Hi Everybody ! Congratulations Sept. 1st Banders :thumbup: Glad everyone is doing so well. I had my last appt. today and that was with my reg. doctor for pre-surgical physical. He was awesome about the whole thing ! Said he feels left our because the surgeons office has handled everything up until now, but I told him his was the most important because he has the final say. LOL Anyway, everything is a go for this Friday. I am so ready to be banded after 2 weeks of clear liquids, I know I have another 2 weeks, but I think it will be better after being banded:) Getting excited now. My surgery is at 11:00 am Fri. and I have to spend one night in the hospital. DH will be staying with me, so I will be just fine. Welcome to all the new Sept. bandsters!!
  10. Hi Everybody, well tomorrow is my pre-surgical physical then it's on to bandland Friday. I am starting to get a little nervous. It's totally becoming a reality. Here's to all my friends being banded tomorrow!!! Good luck one and all ! JoLynne

    All Set For Sept 9th

    Congratulations On your surgery date. I go the 4th.
  15. My liquid diet has consisted of clear broth, sf popsicles, sf jello, gatorade, powerade, 8oz. pulp free oj, 8oz. tomato juice. 2 scoops of whey protein per day mixed with OJ or gatorade/powerade. That is it. I have been on this since Aug. 21st. Surgery is the 4th. Been dreaming of what I can eat when I get to mushies, but have not cheated! I am down 15 1/2 pounds. Woohoo! Starting my journey has been hard, but has made me a stronger person. Good luck to all this weeks bandster's !
