Ginger, glad to meet some one else out here who loves the Gators. I know you and your husband loved it when we beat Ohio State in Football and Basketball for the National Championship's all in the same year. We should try to meet up when yall are here in Sept. I have season ticket but havent gone in the past 3 or 4 years. It had gotten to be to much with my weight and heat and sitting all scrunched up. But maybe this year I'll go to a few. I am glad to see you are doing good. I go back to work on Monday and I have 1st post op on tuesday. Here is my email if you would like to email gogatorrs@yahoo.com. Go Gator!!

Hello all! I had my surgery on Monday and stayed one night (really wanted to go home but...). I didnt really have that much pain from gas but couldnt take deep breathes and they still arent real deep until yesterday and today. I almost fainted when I had to sneeze:w00t: and couhing will that's another story. I havent needed any pain med's not even tylenol but have a really high tolerance for pain. I go back to work on Monday and for post op on Tuesday afternoon. I havent had the burping sensation but hiccups. Not for long but a couple at a time but off and on during the day Weird! I am now on full liquids:thumbup: but still have no desire to eat but am making myself so I dont get dehydrated. Glad to see all are progressing good. Lets keep up the good work and be smaller by summer. I live in florida where is gets hot and muggy overnight and doesnt go away until Nov or Dec. Now maybe it will be a bit easier to tollerate.

Hello! I am also getting my band on the 22nd. Th pre-op diet is a killer. I did poor the first day or so but kept trying and when I went this past tuesday had lost 7 1/2 lbs. My dr said as long as I am loosing the liver will shrink so what I was doing was good. I combined two different meal plans and it has seemed to work for me. I also had the headaches and so hungry that I took a sleep aid and went to bed early. I know that all I would want to do is eat. Maybe not the best solution but all I could think of at the time. I did back slide that night after visit but have gotten back on track and cant wait until monday. I am calling the 22nd my new birthday. Hope everyone does well and yes we should get together and keep each other motivated. :frown:

I am new here but have been approved for surgery on Mrch 22nd. I was given several samples of the Unjury brand shakes and talk about good. They were wonderful. The chocolate was just like nestle quick and milk. I use unsweetened Silk Soy (lactose intolerat) but is sooooo good. I just received my order today and cant wait to have one tonight. I star my "pre-surgery" diet on wed and they are gonna make the time easy to do. Seriously try them. As you Dr office if they have samples. :smile2:
