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!

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!

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.

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 :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
