Day after surgery. I was sooo tired yesterday due to anti nausea meds. Today I am much better. I did get to seat some plain yogurt. Is the pain I feel in my back restriction?? I wonder. So far so good! -

:wub:4/30 7:20 a.m. On our way to the surgery center. This day is finally here! WoW! I did well on the pre op clear liquids so I am ready. Please pray my surgeon hands are steady as he is also fixing a complication from a surgery in Dec. from a hernia repair. Blessings!:smile: -
The advice I have is pre op. I am banded today. My goal is to eat "normal" foods in smaller amounts and not get cravings. Food is not good or bad. Choices are. Choosing the lap band is your tool to eat "less" thus eating less food. It doesn't change your mind. You are the only one that can change your focus! Enjoy! 1/4 cup of ravioli is not out of control. Blessings and I will keep you in my prayers! Congrats on the weight loss!

Keeping you in my prayers for safety and blessings! I leave in just a few minutes for my 10 am surgery.

I am 36 hours away and I totally understand the emotions. Tonight was the last "meal" of real food for a while. I didn't overeat. I am finished with that. I want to feel good also and I am excited for the change!

Tomorrow I start the clear liquid diet and then Friday is the day. I just bought a new excercise video that is called Zomba. It is dance turned into excercise. I can't wait to try it.
Anyway I am ready this!

Hi there,
I get banded in 2 days and I didn't have a pre op diet. Was your weightloss since the band or pre op and the band. I am looking at about 6 to 10 lbs a month as a good steady weightloss but I am seriously envious of the weightloss you had...that is fantastic. What have you been eating?
-
Count down is getting closer. Tomorrow is the clear liquid diet and then surgery on Friday 10 am. It is finally almost here. Keep me in your prayers.
-
I think what your discription is my goal. Regular food in small portions and not focusing on diet...........good luck. I am banded on 4/30.

My surgery is next friday and my surgeon and nutritionist didn't say that I should stop alli. -

Has anyone taken Alli or Phentramine after being banded?
thinatheart replied to StevieVieth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I came to this blog and start this journey speaking honestly. I have used Alli for the past 3 years. I spoke to my nutritionist and she said I could still use it with the band. I don't see a problem with it unless it is used as an excuse to overeat. It deters overeating of fat. It only handles about 50% of 12 grams eaten at a meal. If you overeat fat you will suffer. One reason I like using it is that I am regular and never constipated. Obviously it hasn't helped to loose weight or I wouldn't be getting banded but I have maintained my weight for about 1 year without weight gain. Most of my weight re-gain had been right after breast cancer when I felt so out of control of my life..............Well there it is the truth.:thumbup: -
Man, that is awful. I hope and pray you are better! I am getting banded in 11 days. I appreciate you sharing.
-
Wow what fantastic responses to you Barbee. I am not yet banded 4/30 and I have similar feelings. I understand. Life or lifestyle is the question I ask myself. I want life. I am 50, a breast cancer survivor and obesity is a pre curser to a return. I want to do all I can. I will pray you do the right thing. I think we will be okay, more than okay....fabulous!
-
I don't have any suggestions. I can relate though. I am a 2 year survivor. I am having lapband the end of this month to get healthy. I hope all goes well with you.

I get banded on the 30th so your blog was very encouraging! Keep it up!
