Anyone getting banded in Nov?



Recommended Posts

Still on Clear Liquids here. Had a bad bout of diarrhea earlier, lots of trips to the bathroom. Did get out to the store before it hit, and got some walking in. Restless night last night with sleeping. Would sleep for an hour or two, then back up. Just feel asleep sitting up on the couch with the heating pad watching tv. LOL Pain level is pretty good, mostly only feel sore when bending over. Bandista, did you get any Fluid in your band? Mine is not filled at all yet, so the clear liquid diet is good for letting things heal and not having to worry about solid food just yet. The scale was down one whole pound this morning LOL I know I still have some bloating. Irish, how are you feeling?

I am feeling good 3 days post op! All I want to do is sleep today *yawn* my neck and jaw are still sore. I am still on full liquids until Thursday( first day back to work BTW) I have major head hunger and just want a bite of cottage cheese or spinach asparagus dip heated in the microwave... Soooo yummy! Lol

So I sit here and sip my chicken broth and lite cranberry juice and dream of mushy foods :)

I'm on full liquids as well. Just made some homemade Soup for dinner. I am glad to know someone else is tired today. I feel as if I have slept all day long and still cannot get caught up. But my incisions feel better today and I am way more mobile. Haven't eaten a whole lot today but I really am trying to make sure I keep my Fluid intake up. Glad to hear everyone is doing well!!!

Feeling pretty good today. Finally got over the running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Slept a little better last night. I will probably go into work tomorrow. I'm working from home today.

I just started a group for November 2013 Bandsters and invited all of you to join. I have been on Lap Band Talk for quite a while and never wrote a thing but today I want to get the ball rolling because I am going to turn to this forum for support - I have been watching from the sidelines on this site for a while but I am going into the game!

I'm getting banded on 16th nov (excited!!) I would love to join? X

Running to the bathroom? Not me :( I have only urinated since surgery 4 days ago. Not looking forward to the day I can finally go!

Yes, everything is literally running right through me! Really made the attempt to track my Fluid intake today. Supposed to get 80 oz in a day! I called the dr office this morning, they said I could eat chicken noodle Soup and beef vegetable soup! No cream Soups though.

Well, True Results called me today and I have been pushed a day to the 21st. My surgeon has some big meeting he has to go to. I'm a little boo-hiss about it but not too much. It's only one day. Not a big deal. That's one more day I can do my pre op diet, prepare and it's no biggie. I'm still getting my band and that is what really matters. :)

Well at least it didn't get canceled altogether! Too bad they can't move it up for you.

No fluid in mine either. My stomach has been making the wierdest noises. I think it's gas, or hunger pains, or both LOL

Thursday is the big day. The hospital changed my arrival time from 5:00 am to 7:30 am (much more civil) Op will probably start at 10:30 and possibly be released no later than 1:00. Today spent re-reading all the material the Dr.s staff has given me. Have everything in the house that I think I'll

need.Now just need to get through tomorrow.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
