Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Hope all is well I just started my liquid diet today. My surgery is hopfully going to be on the 25th of October. One more final test (tryroid issue). If anyone has any advise for me on liquids or things to do before and after surgery that would be wonderful. Thanks

Congrats to all the October bandsters so far! I'm very pleased everyone made it to the other side all right. :]

My day is tomorrow! Woo! I'm more excited about getting over this liquid diet than anything. Sure, sure... I'll be on the same diet next week but I won't care as much. :)

Wish me luck guys! You guys have been an awesome inspiration! :puke:

Good luck today, and be sure to update us on it went when you feel up to it.

I was banded on the 7th, and am doing very well. Everyday I get alittle better. No longer on pain meds, still sleeping slightly elevated so I don't get stuck in bed and hating the liquid diet. I drink so much I feel full all the time, but I am getting in all my fluids and Protein. Counting the days until I can go to pureed then soft diet. Hope everyone else is doing just as good. Good luck to you that are still waiting

Glad to see the updates :laugh: October is coming along nicely with a bunch of bands already in place :thumbup:

I got my band Oct 7 and am slowly getting better. I still have pain getting up and down and am making myself walk more.

I pureed some chunky vege Soup then strained it. Mixed in some beef broth with the liquid and it was very good. I made sure it was pretty thin. Felt like my first food in forever becuase it actually tasted like vege Soup. Now I am full after 1 cup lol.

I am taking in liquids easily and have been eating s/f Jello and s/f frozen pops. Just tiny amounts and get full.

My first follow up appt is this Wednesday, Oct 13, 2010.

I have a 10 cc band and was told they put in 3 cc. I will verify this on Wed when I'm not doped up lol.

I decided I like tracking my food on myfitnesspal.com because the ticker should auto update on this forum when I do a weigh in on myfitnesspal. I started out using sparkpeople, but decided I wanted the more user friendly myfitnesspal.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
