Are there any more aug 28th bandster out there. I live in Washington, DC. I had my surgery done at Providence Bariatric Surgery Center by Dr. Rickford . Looking for band buddies...

I wish! Still waiting for my date. I am, however, about to turn 52 in Sept. and look forward to being a Slim Diva myself. Can't wait to get started! How is it going for you? I love DC, grew up in Annapolis, now live in New England. Interested to see you had surgery in Providence. How will you handle after-care? If my hospital program staff doesn't hurry up I may go elsewhere. Getting a bit impatient!

Congratulations AMW -- hope you are doing well. liquid diet? Mushies? You are on your way!

[AMW0219 7]

Full liquid diet right now and I'm soooo tired of it! I've had a baked potato and some chicken noodle Soup. Couple times and they went down with no problems, just ate very slowly and chewed a lot. I go back to work today but pretty sure I will be fine as I have a desk job. I'm really in no pain at all, just sore around the port site. Hope you get yours soon bandista!

Hello! I am 2 days behind you was banded aug 30th!

[Karisaugusthope 16]

I'm super tired of the liquid diet too AMW but I am 3 days behind u even lol I have been feeling kind of nauseous not sure if its due to hunger or what??

[AMW0219 7]

Probably hunger, my stomach makes some strange noises now and sometimes I get nauseous also. I have found that either just laying down for a few or eating a sugar free Popsicle helps a lot. Also, something that may help in this full liquids stage, I have been taking a cup of Decaf coffee (until today 1 week post op an I can have caffeine again!!) and mixing one scoop of chocolate Protein Powder mix with some Splenda and ice, it's delicious! I heap the scoop so that there is more Protein an it does keep me full throughout the morning

I pray you get your date soon. Ill be 52 on Dec 31st. I have been off work but could have gone back today. I'm eating ss pop sickles n Jello, yogurt, Protein shakes, n broth. I still have a raspy voice since surgery and sniffles but no pain. I go for my 30 minute walks twice a day n try to get my Water in. I have not tried eating anything other then what my doc ordered. I am determined to follow the band rules n eat what n when I suppose to. This might change in the future but for right now I don't think about straying away from the liquid diet. Best wishes!

My surgery was August 28th. I'm feeling a lot better today. Had left side pains up until late afternoon yesterday- glad it's gone! Tomorrow I start "mushy" foods.

Also got banded on 28th. From Kentucky. So far, so good.

[AMW0219 7]

Post op appointment tomorrow. Anxious to see if my scale is the same as the dr office. My scales say -20 lbs as of this morning. Exercise is going good, just went for a 2.5 mile walk. Feeling good!

I got banded on the 15 Aug. I am feeling really good now, particularly since mushy diet. Its 3 weeks today since my op, and I already feel I have come along way. Hope you are all doing well
