mandivan 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Hi! Just had my surgery on Thursday, 9/16...3 days out! Excited but still hurting! Want to exercise, but not sure if it's too soon and already tired of Protein Shakes. Hey, how do we insert our diet tickers? Hello! I'm sooooo excited! My surgery is scheduled for September 2 in Texas. Any other September bandsters out there?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mst 1 Posted September 19, 2011 my surgery was 9/14. i'm feeling much better, the first 48 hours were horrible. I'm going back to work tomorrow, hoping that goes ok. I have lost 6 lbs since the surgery. Not very hungry, but tired of broth for sure. Seems like I can't tolerate sf popcicles or jello...seems too sweet! Tomorrow I can go to full liquid, so I am looking forward to some good Soups in my near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you put your mouse on someones ticker it will lead you to an outside link. I got mine from Myfittness.com and it allowed me to make it from a picture.

blessedmom2fourkids 0 Posted September 21, 2011 I just got my insurance approval so my 9/28 date is set! I only have two days of a clear liquid diet since my doc's office requires patients to lose weight before surgery. I'm so ready! My date just got changed to the 27th! That works too.

I still have many many questions! I'm also scared of excess skin...But the dr said that Im still young, so it shouldnt be a problem, as long as I exercise and follow the diet...

I'm down 19 lbs but figure to gain some back when I start taking in the fluids I should. Not hungry, don't know if surgeon did a little fill or if its from swelling from the surgery.

blessedmom2fourkids 0 Posted September 29, 2011 I'm home from the hospital after spending one night. I feel good in general. Have some shoulder pain from the air being trapped there but the meds are pretty good. Thinking about taking the advice of others that have gone through this and taking milk of magmisia or something foe the gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leisha249 24 Posted December 19, 2011 Good by to Lane Bryant. I went shopping today and am cutting up my card. Cant shop there anymore. Yea! Helloooo....? Sept banders? Just wondered how everyone is doing. I just had my 3rd fill 5 days ago. Dr was very encouraging and met the new diatician for the office I go to. I won't hold it against her that she probabley only weights 100 lbs. She was very sweet and had some good advice. So glad I had the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
