September 2009 Band Date
gatorgirl1024 replied to ashleysara's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Loveslady, Everything went well for me. I only have one incision! So I am really happy about that. I am pretty sore though I think most of it is gas pain. My liquid pain medicine is so nasty I try not to take it it makes me naesous. One thing I have noticed is that it is really sore when i take a deep breath. Is anybody else experiencing that? -

3 more days!! the 17th is the big day! I am so excited.. Just a little nervous just because I have never had surgery before. I have lost about 9-10lbs on liquids I feel like that is not enough. I have 3 days of clear liquids now so maybe that will help. Good luck to everybody having surgery the next couple days and congrats to all that have been banded! I can't wait to be a part of the bandsters! -

Ok so this liquid diet is no fun. All of the sweet shakes are just not working for me.:blushing: I mean is it really ok for me to just have soup all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions for a full liquid diet that does not include sweet shakes. -

The dietician that I saw said the carnation instant breakfast (sugar free) shakes are good. THe didn't really push the protien shakes. Cream of chicken,tomato, and types of soups like that. Im sure I will get sick of all this of it at some point : ) But It will be worth it! I hope I helped some! Good Luck! -

Hey Kimberlyann,
I am really nervous also but I am going to do it. I have decided I am tired of struggling with this. None of your local doctors have any financing options. I was fortunate enough to have my insurance cover it. I hope everything works out for you! Please keep me posted.
