October 2006 Bandsters!

[PugMaster 0]

Somehow I manged to lose 13 pounds on my 1-week high Protein, low-carb pre-op liquid diet. The third day was painful but after that, I wasn't even hungry.

I was banded as planned on Friday morning. Nothing could have been more uneventful. I felt great and wanted to go home Friday afternoon but was required to stay overnight because I have apnea. I had no pain meds, no nausea and was doing laps around the floor. Got out of the hospital yesterday morning and rode 3 hours to watch my son play football and then rode 3 hours home. Probably not the smartest thing I have ever done but I feel no worse for the wear. I'm tired today but still have absolutely no nausea and no pain to speak of. Everything---water, juice, broth and protein shakes---is going down easily.

So far, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones!

Testing The Ticker

[NewBeginnings2018 81]

transpo1 - after you enter your information on ticker factory, you need to copy the "bbc code" and go to "user cp" on LBT, click "edit signature" and paste the url address to the bottom of your signature. That should do it.

Isn't it funny how we all have different diets to follow afterwards? I am on Clear Liquids for a week and then I can go to anything thru a straw for week 2 and then in week 3 it's mushies and then finally in week 4 SOLIDS!!! I have been having slim fast and the yogurt smoothies which really help with the so called "head hunger". I have lost 16 lbs since the 2nd, 10 on the pre-op and then 6 this week! I have been feeling awesome! Went shopping day after, and came home, cleaned house, defrosted freezer, decorated for halloween, grocery shopped for hubby and just been trying to stay busy so I don't think about anything but getting skinny!

banded Oct. 9th

Hello All!

Boy , I'm away for a day or two and I miss a lot! 38 of us banded so far and more on the way? Is that right? Wow!

Quick post for me today. Ok, skin beginning to get loose, not really pretty. Plus, it'll get worse.

My weight loss has slowed down, but I am feeling better. A lot better!

I am so happy everyone is doing great!!! I am on for Tuesday 5am-surgery 7:30am.

But I can't find in my directions at all about only having clear liquids the day before the surgery but I swear I read that somewhere. Does anyone know what I can do the day before my surgery?????

Hi Purtynailz,

Usually 8 hours before surgery the patient gets nothing, not even Water. With Dr. Ortiz I was told to stop eating and drinking by midnight the night before.

Hope this helps

Purtynailz I would call your doctor's office and speak with them. I was just told to eat lightly the day before. oatmeal for Breakfast, small sandwich for lunch, Soup for dinner. Nothing to eat after 7pm, nothing to drink after midnight. But again - check with your doctor.
