HOW'S EVERYONE DOING AND WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Hang in there kids. Just remember....No Pain, No Gain!

I'll be praying for you all tomorrow. ONLY take care of yourself. Walk slow and often. SIP plenty of liquids and Sip them SLOW and constant! No lifting, pushing or pulling. Good luck. It's been 10 days for me and I am doing great. Next I will be saying chew, chew, chew and chew some more before swallowing. That's where I am now.

Hello everyone! My name is Laurie and I am having my surgery tomorrow! I cant wait and am so excited to finally have this done. I'm super nervous though because I have not stuck 100% to my liquid diet ... I've heard of other people cheating the whole time and still having the surgery but I'm still nervous! My parents are coming down to help take care of my daughter while I am gone and recuperating since my husband works. I'm waiting on my phone call to tell me when I need to be at the hospital ... all I have to do is pack! I cant wait to get to know some of you on this journey! :thumbup:

Good luck Lori. We are all GonnaBeFit! Leah and Alijacmom you are on my mind today. I'm willing you both to walk. Ahealthylife and Tannie Good luck to you both too. Trust me you all are going to be fine. Ten days after surgury for me. Tomorrow is my first pre-op visit. I'm on soft food, no pains and very little soreness. If a over weight granny whos kids are older then most of you can do it you can.

Hi all - 48 hours after surgery and all went well. Got home last night and had an Unjury shake. It went down well. Had a rough time getting out of bed in the middle of the night. I was quite sore around the port area. I have to say I have had some gas pains but not as bad as I have heard others speak of. Took gas X strips and they went away. Worried about the dehydration thing so I am drinking often and so far everything is going down no problem. Any questions I will be happy to answer from the little I know so far. Just very very happy it is over. Made a major mistake of going on the scale 48 hours after surgery and saw no loss. Dr. said I am full of gas and fluids and it will come off. Putting the scale away for now. Anyone else have this experience??

I just got on the scale yesterday at my post op two week visit. Two months weight lost 27lbs. Won't expect that all the time but any loss is better then I have had on my own. Put a BIG smile on kids the worst is behind you.

Congrats! I had my 2 week post surgery visit today and am doing great. I'm so glad I did this. First fill scheduled in 4 weeks. On regular food now just have to make sure I get enough Protein and take my Vitamins. Back to work tomorrow. Good luck to all the October Bandsters!

:wink2: I went to the Doctors today for my 2 week post opt. and I lost another 3 lbs. I now start on regular food only

3/4 cup a meal. I then have to write down how soon after my meal that i'm hungry again. This will tell them if I need a fill in two weeks and how much.

I guess my dr. is slower then your dr. or maybe he thinks this ol'gran is fragil. Started soft food yesterday for one week and then normal food. I really am not sick or had any trouble eating anything. Gosh I hoped it worked.

:thumbup:I am going to set a goal to lose 10 lbs. in 2 weeks for my next appt.
