May Bandsters!

[bbbanded 70]

Went and met with one of the surgeons today, he was reaaally nice, and a lot more friendly than the other one. He gave me a prescription for Percocet today...way to make me 10x more nervous!

Last time I weighed in with my nutritionist I was 312.6, I'm down to 307, gotta love this pre op diet.

Speaking of being down, the last time I went through this the surgeon asked me to lose 10 lbs, today NONE! this is good. Go us May Bandees!

P.S. May 11th date here

It is totally a mental thing... I had not had any surgeries before my lap,band was placed on April 25th so I was very nervous about the actual surgery, but I was in and out in no time, with a blood transfusion, too!

Now, 5 days out, the mental trial is this liquid diet lol

Congrats girls on surgery dates and sticking to the diet.

Well today I had my first breakdown. 3rd day of liquids. Every day is harder, not easier. I am just so hungry today and feel so physically weak. I have had enough Protein so far (50g) yet I have no energy. I feel frustrated.. I just went into my car and cried.

Hi daisychains7! I too had my first breakdown today- day 5 on liquids. I cried to my boyfriend saying "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry" oh well so dramatic!! This is hard stuff but I keep telling myself that one day soon I can have the things I like such as sushi!!! just hang tight and the days will go by quickly!

I know how you feel. I am not a crier but I am a mess today. We will get to the point where we can have our favorite foods again soon. Just have to remember that.

Yes, the hardest part is being around people. Mine is 10 days so after today, I will have 7 left. Think of it as 1 day at a time so you don't feel as overwhelmed

As hard as this is, I am proud of all of us for sticking to it. Before this journey I was hitting drive-thrus BETWEEN meals, eating 24/7. This is a huge difference.

I bought the pre-mix version of EAS Myoplex Lite(20g protein) & EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control (17g protein) both from Sam's club. They are really good in both vanilla & chocolate.< /p>
