pancake1271 57 Posted June 19, 2011 hello everyone, i was banded on june 13th, how is everyones progress ??? I was banded on the 13th too! So far my recovery is going good. I haven't had much pain or gas pain. My steri strips are starting to fall off and boy is my belly button has a nice bruise around it from a major incision above it. So far no nausea or throwing up but I have been real good with my liquid diet and havent tried to eat anything i'm not suppose to yet. For first few days I wasn't hungry but now that I'm healing Soups and Protein Shakes arent cutting it, but I will be a good girl and follow the liquid diet for another week! Hope yours is going good too ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tengles 0 Posted June 19, 2011 Oh, I had to lose 10% and keep it off since march. I also have to be at my pre band weight day of surgery or they will not do it. It's hard to keep the weight off for so long, I would have preferred the liquid diet at least a week before surgery. I may just do it anyhow. Tanya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highland 168 Posted June 20, 2011 'My surgery is one week away - 6/27. I have so much nervous energy. I didn't go to bed until 5 this morning. I'm just so excited to get on with this. As for post op stories.......I think there are lots of people out there like Roziecakes that do really well because they DO EXACTLY what their doctors ask them to do. Keep a positive attitude and you'll do just fine. My surgeon said I should have less pain than when I had my gallbladder removed, and truthfully that was no biggie.

Drlnangel 0 Posted June 20, 2011 I have sort of cheated also, this pre-op diet is a killer lol. I had two bites of pizza that the kids had last night for dinner and two pretzles *sigh* That's my mental limit, if I let myself have two bites of something it can't do that much damage right?! That's my hope anyway. I really want to stick with this but I seem to be hungry constantly. Oh well, I will do my best and that's all I can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
