Hi kellie I to was banded on Mon. Oct.18 I to am having chest pains when I take a deep breath it gets better everyday if you were giving the thingy to breath in every hour use it,it really has helped me I try to do mine every hour & I also walk,walk,walk GOOD-LUCK.I have no restrictions & I am on unlimited liquid so far I haven't felt any difference than before surgery.

OK So I have been waiting for this day since July 20,2010 when I went to my seminar,fought my PCP,Sooo many tests,getting papers faxed,waiting,& waiting getting a surgery date,THE LIQUID DIET for TWO weeks, So tomorrow is the BIG DAY,Oct. 18,2010 I have cleaned the house,went grocery shopping,did the laundry,packed my bag just in case I have to spend the night,I AM SO SCARED my hubby is excited & keeps telling me to calm down & how proud he is of me for fighting and getting this done for me in spite of all the obstacles that was thrown in front of me UGH!! Pray for me.:thumbup:

Meeeeeeeeeee Toooo,Good-luck...

You only have 2 days wow I have 5 I'm up Oct.18 it is hard but do something stop dwelling on food, chewing sugar-free gum has been a life saver for me I have about 5 different flavors,flavored waters helps a lot also, get creative & hang in there, Since nobody knows why I am not eating I have to resist all kind of foods I'm not saying its easy but the reward will be greater. GOOD-LUCK

Brina I will be banded on oct.18 I am thankful the other bandsters blog about sliming & other stuff so if it should happen to me at least I know what to expect, I wanted to know the good & bad & it has helped me I now know I can't eat fast or over eat WE ARE BLESSED LET'S DO THIS so we can school the newbies next year this time.

BRICK HOUSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

LUCKY YOU I will be banded on Oct. 18, I have been on liquids since Oct.3 down 11 lbs.

Hi I will be banded on the 18th also I am on day 6 of my liquid diet, today wasn't my best I took a bite of my husband's steak & a bite of my son's also so no protein shake tonight. GOOD-LUCK to you.:biggrin:

Hey Brina what does your pre-op diet consist of.

Congratulations, I also will be banded on Oct.18 its my 6th day on liquids, but I will be strong.

Thanks everyone for your comments I am not hungry at all, although I can only have 2 protein drinks slimfast optima a day, the popsickles,jello,crystal light,tea,clear broth, I have losted 9 lbs.since Sunday.

OK Friends I need help, I am only getting about 380 calories a day give or take a few pieces of gum my husband Is really worried he's afraid that I'm starving myself that is what I'm suppose to be doing shrinking my liver this is day 4 of liquid, sugery day is not until Oct.18,2010.:frown::ohmy:

I dont know if you can use chloraseptic throat spray,but its great after surgery.

I read warm pineapple juice does the trick

I am off to see the surgeon this morning I am so nerveous.I should be close to goal, I've been jumping through hoops since June,all that jumping gotta count right LOL. just a little humor to try and calm my nerves,I hope I get a surgery date today,my insurance approved everything on Aug.25,2010. WISH ME LUCK:scared2:

try isopure for a change,tastes great

EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea what is sliming?

OK So I beleive in preparing way ahead of time, I have stocked up on protein drinks or should I say sampling protein drinks, I have the samplers pack of Unjury,Inspire & today I went in Rite-Aid & they had Isopure buy one get one free & I had 2.00 off coupons (coupon queen)Isopure is great when you let it freeze it taste like a slush & it gives you a break from the thick milky protein.Unjury is good also,Inspire has all the good flavor but not enough 4oz.:scared2:
