OK so now I know I'm not crazy, because I had the same thing. I could feel it and just clipped it off...:smile:

Had my first Dr visit after surgery and I'm doing good. lost 15lb from my first visit.:thumbup: Still having a problem with the coating on my tongue, bacteria infection from some much antibiotics, so what do they do but give me more antibiotics........ Mushies have been great so far: made chicken salad, mashed potato and gravy with the family. Going to go to the beach today for a nice long walk, be I needed to drink ,drink, drink as I don't want to get dehydrated. Good luck to everyone!! The last of the April Bunnies: Banded April 30th

Well I made it! Surgery was on Friday Mornig and by 10:00 am I was in my room. I had no pain to speak of , never took any of the pain meds on the pump just the meds from surgery and another one the doctor ordered. By that afternoon all i wanted was to get out of there and go home, heavens knows a person can not sleep in a hospital, how can these people not know that noise carries, so why must they be so noises!... I'm home and yes the second day did bring the shoulder pain but a couple of walks up and down the block helped. Now I'm dealing with the constipation, going to try a little apple juice to see if that helps. Just plan to read a book or two and enjoy a little time at home...:thumbup:

I have fibro and will be banded on Friday so I hope I have as good of lucky as the rest of you. I hope that this will help as just losing 25lbs so far I so feel better on most days, but then it had to go and rain this morning and I sure feel it. The best form of exercise I have found is swimming, I loved going to the YMCA and swim in the warm Water. Can't wait to get started after my surgery. Pain free wishes to everyone... Friday is my big day!:redface:

Only two more days.... Starting to get nervous but I will just be glad to get on with my new life. But to top it of Mother Nature makes a early call, probably because of all the other bad stuff I have not been adding to my body. but mow I know why a was so emotionally yesterday. Still sticking to the pre op diet and have lost almost 20 lbs but hope I can stand all this shake a few more days, they are starting to taste like paste!! Being on the last day of the month I kind of jealous of everyone who is already done.But I will be there soon! Thanks for all the support Time to add my ticker!

Well I"m on day 9 of pre op diet and being at home on the weekend has been hard. Last weekend we were on the road and I was busy all the time so did not think about it much, but I did have to miss the drinks with friends and the great Mexican food all around, but I made it. Only only 4 more more days. Hope everyone else hangs in there, you are doing this for yourself...... Oh ya, I just got some sugar free cheesecake pudding and sugar free caramel syrup(the kind for coffee) and add it to my vanilla Protein shake, it's nice to have another flavor other than berry... :eek:

Why I made it! One week down and one one more to go on the Pre op diet. The hardest part is drinking all the protein drinks they want you to, I'm drinks 3 or 4 a day and one small meal. But that is not to say as I'm on the road all day at my job I start craving fast food.... I have to talk my way past it. But "m glad I have not cheated once on the pr diet. Maybe I ready. Time to add my ticker as I'm down 10 lbs !! One more week to go!

Well I have made it thru the long weekend and lost 5lbs so hope I'm off to a good start. I need to ask if it's OK because I only have been drink 2 or 3 shakes a day with a side salad for dinner. I was not hungry at all. But the shakes are much better when you have a blender to mix them with ice and a little fruit. April 30th is fast approaching:ohmy:...

Hope everyone is good, Well I start my 2 week liquid Protein on Friday, bad thing is we are leaving on a trip for the week end, hard to pack all the extra on the bike. I hope I can tolerate them, I took SF koolaid and puddings to mix in. But I do want to try to mix with SF orange soda as my DR suggested. Hard to think its only two weeks a way after so long .......... Martha:rolleyes:

Hello, I'm just about there! I have been working on getting this surgery since August.. I had to play the Insurance Company games. But I have made it this far and now I'm down to the last 4 weeks, it hard to believe. My surgery date is set for April 30th. I hope I can make it on the two week pre op diet. But reading the post have helped, so I will be here often for support, so thanks everyone...Together we can! Martha So, Cal
