Lovemythreems 36 Posted May 30, 2012 Oh boy, I was approved in 24 hours & tomorrow is the big day. I'm super nervous & hungry as heck right now. Clear diet is a bummer. I hope I'm making the right decision. I've researched & reviewed a million times & I think this will be the best tool for my lifestyle. The idea of throwing up & not being able to eat is what freaks me out the most. I don't have any grandiose visions of being a size 2 or obsessing over my scale, I simply just want to be healthy. No more pills for hbp, no more being uncomfortable on a airplane. I just want to be a average women that's comfortable in her own skin. Wish me luck & say a quite prayer for me. 3 rainenroses, br00kse and ledavis13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovemythreems 36 Posted June 5, 2012 Anything help with the gas pain? Congrats on getting banded. I can't wait to have my turn!! Any tips for the clear diet? The only thing that helped me with the gas pains was a heating pad. You can use that or hot Water bottle or those bean bags you can heat up (get that before your surgery, you'll need it) & walking. To be honest the gas pain was the worse part. Still hurts at night. I only had to do the clear for 24 hours before. I did chicken broth w/ Protein powder in it, Jello, Popsicles & hot tea....& repeat:). When are you doing yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
