Any February 2013 Bandsters?

[ErinSue2000 48]

Well a little update! I had surgery Friday of last week and I feel pretty good still a little sore but pretty much back to normal! Finding it hard not to lift things over a gallon on milk( I hate to ask for help)! I am a little sore but I can finnally sleep on my side and this morning I woke up on my stomach! I found out that the shakes that I was drinking pre op I think are way to sweet now! So I am looking for a good one again! My first post appt is tomorrow! I hope that all that went before me are doing good!

2 more days..... And I'm getting really nervous. Very happy that I've lost 20 lbs on my pre op liquids. Surgery Thursday at 9. I can handle pain but am so afraid of being nauseas all day.

I had to stop reading all of this the week before my surgery b/c it made me more nervous. . Everything went well! Good luck!

I had surgery a week ago today. Still a bit of pain in my shoulder but I feel good. A bit dizzy at times but I've got major headaches as well (another health issue not related to this). I haven't been hungry at all. I'm getting 50-70g of Protein, have yet to get the 100g of protein they are wanting me to get each day. I'm working on it. Drinking about 64 oz of Fluid. With the headaches it's been hard to start much exercise. My first appt is Fri. One problem I have had is I haven't had a bowel movement yet. And I haven't had any pain meds since Saturday. Hoping something moves soon. I'm on magnesium for headaches so I should have something because on full liquids I've been eating puréed eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese.< /p>

I have my surgery tomorrow morning. I have not cheated at all for 2 weeks on the liquid diet until just now. I had 4 Ritz crackers.... Not sure why but I was so hungry and the nerves are kicking in. I'm really excited and ready for this journey but am mad at myself that I folded the night before..

I was done feb 8th barely able to swallow. The doctor decided to unfill my band. I guess I was swollen too much from surgery. Now I'm starving!

[ErinSue2000 48]

I was banded the 8th as well and find my self not very hungery at all! But I still find it hard to get in all the protien I need! But yet I am so ready to move on to real food!

My surgery is scheduled for 2/19. My doctor told me today that he will have to cancel it if the insurance company doesn't approve by Friday.

oh no I had my Feb date cancelled after my insurance made me do another visit with my Nutritionist. If they approve me by next week the Dr can perform March 4th. Any day works for me I have waited this long..

I will stay in touch with this group for sure!! Happy Valentine's Day All...♥♥

Today is the day. 9 a.m. surgery time. Yesterday I was an anxiety ridden mess, this morning I am calm as a cucumber. Ready to get banded. Good luck to everyone else being banded today as well.
