Ready to Go 1 Posted September 13, 2011 I am scheduled for Wednesday at 8 am. I have finished 6 days of liquids and feel drained. I have no cravings and am concered about tomorrow's clear liquid day and the next two weeks. I chewed some ice chips tonight and that helped. Any other suggestions as I am getting nervous about my surgery. Help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screeden 21 Posted September 13, 2011 i was super nervous right before, did not get any sleep the night before. yes the Clear Liquids suck, but the band is worth it to me. the 2 weeks after surgery is called "banders hell". i was so happy when i could have Soup. lol! tasted fantastic. i would not trade this band for anything. it is my tool to help me.

RedDirtRN 8 Posted September 13, 2011 Cant help but think if 2 weeks AFTeR surgery are banders hell then the 2 week liquid diet leading to it must be the road to hell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromo 17 Posted September 14, 2011 Ready to go, I am with you. Although my prediet was not completely liquid, it was mainly so. Today has not been as hard as I thought on Clear Liquids, maybe it is just the excitement of knowing tomorrow is surgery day is taking care of that. I just had some SF Jello when I was getting a bit hungry after drinking 4 oz of juice, so I feel better. Had done fine until the carbs in the juice. Those carbs can be wickedly evil little hunger drivers. Hope we both have a good day tomorrow and come back to post as official bandsters afterward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ready to Go 1 Posted September 15, 2011 Well I did it and got home this morning. I feel lost. Moving plenty so gas is slowly disappearing. I am not interested in eating anything. I had a Protein Drink this afternoon and will have another one tonight. I had Soup and an ice this morning at the hospital so I guess looking back, I did ok on my first day of liquids after. Can believe that that part is all over. The research, classes, tests surgery all done. Now I try to sleep and see how I feel tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
