Thanks everyone! Things went pretty well. I finally understand the "gas" issues that accompanies the pain! All the things that people said to do helped...i.e., walked, Gas-x, etc. I was also very naseuous yesterday but I have been taking meds for that too.

I slept in a recliner last night. Dosed on and off there and now I am up again to get my walk in.

I am so glad to have finally been banded. I am not hungry, at all. Just the opposite.....I am only able to get down just sips of Water and apple juice. Today I will take a few sips of a Protein shake....this may help my naseau as well.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

I start my pre-op diet later today. Still waiting for surgery to be approved. My surgery date is 2/19. I'm getting anxious about the approval process. However, I was told that the lady that does it almost always gets them approved.

Felicia, I'll pray for your approval. Let me know how it goes. What type of pre-op diet do you have? I had none, but I'm glad I self-imposed one, because I dropped 10 pounds before the surgery. You can do this!

Thanks Susan! I finally was approved. So, everything is good for Tuesday the 19th. Yay!!! My pre-op has been 2 Protein Shakes a day, 4 oz. of Protein from meat, poultry, cheese, etc, and as many non-starchy vegetables as I can handle. Veggies have become my new best friends!

I'm so happy for you. I see you've lost some weight. Congrats on that as well. I'm paving the way for you I actually went out to lunch today to one of my favorite spots and had the chef puree his delicious seafood bisque. It was yummy. My first yummy food since the surgery.
