Touria is the one nauseated not me! I'm not banded till may 18th. But yeah I think she is nauseated from the anesthesia.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! No worries though. They did what was best. Try not to worry to much and I'm praying everything works out and you're banded once all the test are done and you have the ok to go thru the surgery.

Thanks for clarifying that Shy, I am sorry. I am sorry Michelle about the heart messing you up today. Will they check it again tomorrow? I would be upset too.

The Month pic taking I thought would be cool. I will put a full body pic of me before. I will have my hubby take one of me. Then in a month after my surgery another one...I personally want to see my difference. Good luck ladies and gents!

Hi everyone! As I posted before my surgery is may 11 and I am really struggling with my preop diet (protein shakes and a few veggies ONLY) although it's been so difficult and I'm on day 7 of my preop diet..I HAVE LOST 10lbs!!!!! In one week!! :) so happy!! Whenever I'm starving I just remember my dedication to following the rules and the success is shown on the scale!!! Im hoping for another 5-10lbs this week before my surgery! Anyone else have success like this on the 2week preop diet??!

Hi. I too am kind of struggling with the liquids only. I wish I could have veggies. I'm only on day 2 and I just want to vomit from all the liquids. I'm trying to keep my mind focused on why I'm doing this.

Congrats on your weightloss! That's awesome! Keep up the good work. You have just inspired me. How many shakes areu having a day?

Love the idea of posting our pics in a month. I still need to take full body pre op pictures.

I am so sorry!! Was your heart rate just too fast or do you have a heart condition? This is just a hiccup and I know everything will work out for you.

Just want to clarify my previous post. I did not partake of the Breakfast, ice cream or pizza - I faithfully stayed on my pre-op diet.

I'm so proud of you! Very Good Job! :D:):rolleyes::P:D

Today is day 10. I have 8 more days to go. :(

I'm going to stop telling people that I'm having lap band surgery. They've been telling me that they know people who had it done and gained back the weight and someone else told me that they knew someone who had it done and it didn't turn out well at all. Arrrgggh. That's not what I want to hear right now as I'm starving to death.

omg that's another reason why I'm not telling anyone!

Yeah I'm not telling anyone either! Don't want to hear any negativity, period! I've done my research and I know the risk. My risk-benefit analysis tells me there are more benefits than possible risk. So glad I have all of you to be encouraging :-))

Glad to see you're doing ok. Did you Dr give your the Phengen gel ( you rub it in on your wrist) for nausea? My surgery is May8th....I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. I can't stay off this website...reading everyone's stories is inspirational.

No they just gave me the behind The ear sticker...good luck to u!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
