@ Thatchick..... I cheated while on my pre op diet. I ate a healthy dinner almost every night of my liquid diet. I could not stick to the liquid only thing. I did stick to the clear liquid diet 24 hours before surgery. Post op I was allowed to eat mushie foods. Grits, oatmeal, tuna, soft eggs. So I never did a liquid phase after the surgery. Now I am on solids and I can eat.... I still don't eat like I did before but I can eat well. I need a fill

I have one incision and that was in my belly button. I have NO other cuts!!!! I am sorry that you are in so much pain. I was out and about by the third day. I had to come home and rest but it was not that serious. I went to work the following week I was off pain medication completely after the fifth day. I only took it at night to help me go to sleep after the third day. I have had other surgeries and two children natural birth..... NO PAIN MEDICATION!!!!!! One of my children weighed 9 pounds at birth. So to ME this was a piece of Cake..... I am sorry if you thought I lied to you. I had a good experience with the lap band and I EXPECTED far worst.

MOODS MEDS AND THE BAND
Mscaramel38 commented on Hopeful to be full's blog entry in Hopeful to be full's Blog
I had the surgery August 23rd and prior to the surgery I spoke with my doctor about my bipolar medication and the lap band. He told me not to worry. I am taking my medication like normal no crushing or anything. Since the surgery I have been in a great mood. I don't weigh myself unless I have an appointment. I don't want to rock my mood boat. -
How do you survive the 2 week pre-op diet?
Mscaramel38 replied to Doglover0829's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The two week pre op diet was torture for me as well. I could not stomach the Protein shakes and it almost became a two week fast. I found these chocolate Protein Shakes at costco and they were good and I also used Special K vanilla Protein shake.... Those are TASTY!!!! I drank a lot of Water and tried to keep busy to keep my mind off of food. Last but not least I did not watch T.V. the commercials are killers during the two week fast. Good Luck -
I have a little restriction but not a lot. I know I need a fill. I have been making good food choices as well or I work them into my calories for the day. I have not weighed myself so I don't know how much I have lost yet. I will find out next week at the dr's office. Work is good. I have two nice pre k groups. I am happy this year so far.

How are you doing??? Did you get your fill and how do you feel??? I think I need one as well. I have been using myfitpal on my phone to keep track of everything I eat. I try to stay at 1,200 calories a day.
How much weight have you lost??? I hope to chat soon.

Good luck on your surgery this week!!! I hope all is going well with the pre op diet. I hated every minute of my pre op diet.
