To tell or not to tell, that is the question...
LapBandBobbi replied to LeighaMason's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I chose to tell my family, friends and co-workers. For the most part they are supportative. What's most important for me is the support I'm getting from my husband! For the rest of them, I'm sure they're watching me close and they do have comments every now and then. Most of them have been positive. -

I'm right there with you on the iching.... I am at the point I can no longer tolerate the shakes. I'm trying to get at least 2 per day down, but that's getting difficult. -
I tend to weigh myself every morning. Lately, it's been refreshing to see that number getting lower and lower :sifone:

I am 1-week post-op today and feeling pretty good. I still have a little shoulder pain / stomach grumbling but it's not too bad. I think I am not eating as much as I should because it takes me all day to drink 2 protein shakes. Then I don't feel like I'm getting enough water in. Anyone else feel like that? -
I have always referred to it as "FUPA" - fat upper pussy area :thumbup:

MellaBella, Have you lost the 89 lbs since you were banded? That's wonderful! I hope my success is as good as yours has been.

Good luck with the followup appt. Let us know how much you lost. I don't see the surgeon for 4 weeks post-op. I am hoping for a big number as well. My problem is, I want to see results immediately. I know it's a slow process, but I'm still anxious.:smile2: -

My doctor's orders are 1 week of liquids, then puree type foods. Mashed potatoes are sounding pretty good right now -
I am 5 days post-op and I feel like my stomach is growling sometimes too. Sometimes I really get hungry but after sipping on a protien shake for a couple hours it goes away. I know I'm only getting 500 calories a day or so, but I'm pretty sure mine are hunger pains

I am 5 days post-op and feeling pretty hungry. Anyone else hungry? I started adding the protein shakes, yesterday I was able to get 2 of them down along with a V8 and some beef broth. Today I had a shake at 5:30am and it's only 8:15 and I'm really hungry again. I think my appetite has come back with a vengence! I think I've been pretty lucky keeping the food down without any pain, but I think I'm being cautious and not eating much.

I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went well. I slept a lot after I got to my room. The ride home took about 2 hours and I think the movement of the car caused a little pain, so I took some pain meds and went to sleep for 4 hours when I got home. Things are looking up. I'm looking forward to my new life.

On-set of a cold prior to surgery
LapBandBobbi posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I feel a cold coming on. Does anyone know if this will have any effect on my surgery being performed? I have not taken any cold medicine. -
Woo Hoo! My insurance approved me!!
LapBandBobbi replied to PalmBayTish72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pre-diet for me was good. I was very excited to get going and determined not to let it bother me. My only concern now, is I am getting a cold and I'm hoping they won't delay the surgery. I'll find out tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted on the results. -
My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, Jan 28th. I've very excited, but concerned because I have come down with a cold today :thumbup: I hope this doesn't delay my surgery. I have read posts where some surgeries have been delayed and others haven't. Wish me luck!
