Any November 2009 Bandsters??
margaritadlc replied to 120inside's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I recovered pretty fast and well. I am suppose to be on soft liquid but I am sooo hungry. For the past couple of days I've been eating 1 meal. I chew til my jaw cramps up and I am eating about toddler size portion. I am still losing weight but I am finding this very difficult. With all this Thanksgiving talk and having to feed my family I am getting tempted. I am sooo worried and holding on to every rational thought in my head. I feel absolutely no restriction. I feel the port but not the band nor the restriction when I drink or eat. I need a fill. I even scheduled my post-op appointment a little early (maybe get cleared to exercise). I've been banded for 10 days now. Thanksgiving is at my house and I a worried about picking. -

- Wow. Your story is very compelling and interesting. A fighter. wow for you girl. I had my surgery last Wednesday. I had a little struggle with my blood pressure in the HP. couldn't keep the liquid down. It is all good now. Found out I was sick due to the pain meds. I got on the scale today, am down 8lbs. I am still on a soft diet. I hate mushy vegetables, but squash tastes great. I feel good physically. Have several holes in my stomach. the wrap came off fo one today and it is healed. So I am on the road to recovery. I went outside for a walk today. It is cold but it felt good. I am just looking forward to getting the weight off. I want to loose 80 lbs. The Dr said 70, but, It is mydecision. I will see when i get there. I started at 228. Keep in touch, Mary.

Hi girlie! Doing good. I am down 20 lbs. My asthma has been acting up and I think I'm anemic because 3 step and I exhausted. I have an appointment with the surgeon and I will let him know but I don't think it's anything to be worried about. Text me.

I am definitely restricted. I forgot that I was banded a took a bite of provision (root vege) and chewed and swallowed. ( I know I totally forgot AND it taught me that I ate much more subconsciously then I thought). Anyway, it was painful. It's hard to explain. It felt like there was a blockage. Or like when you swallow a big pice of bread and you feel it ride on your back. I didn't want to throw it up but whoww it took forever. So afterward I didn't eat for the day. I drank hot tea. I can't believe it. I am averaging 2 lbs a day. But that because my body weight is up there and I am lugging it around consuming barely 1000 calories a day. -

Ladies & Gentlemen I've been banded!!!!:thumbup: I am doing good. Back pain mostly. Cured by a nice Benjay rub down. (Gas pain that gets trapped in your body). Intestinal gas relief from Gas-x strips. And only need pain meds on day 1. Tylenol Day 2 and no meds day3. Dr. Gohil did a great job. I started full liquids today and went to the bathroom immediately. Honestly, I feel no restriction but I will pretend there is because its important not to shift the band with course food. My post-op appt. in less than 2 weeks. I have walked a lot!:drool: Emotional: I am hanging in there. It's a lot to deal with. I'm changing my whole life. -

I got banded Nov 9th. Did you get banded too? I hope all went well.
) Hope you're feeling ok. The gas pains hurt!!! Take care! -

Hi everybody... I did my pre-opt appointment. I feel really *don't know*. It's really rough for me. My scale at home was wrong and while I thought I lost 14 pounds I only lost 1 pound. I was so shocked. So I've been eating candy and went off liquid diet for 1 meal today. I think I am scare now.:drool: Would I be the person that can't do this? Trying to keep positive and keep my irrational thoughts/ actions in control. Tomorrow I am going to wake up early and meditate. Please pray for me. -
