Surgery on Monday!



Recommended Posts

I'm excited and scared. It's taken me awhile to get to this point, so I think I have everything I'll need for the next week or so. Any last words of advice?

Hello and Good luck!!

One thing that I didn't find on any on list was a body pillow for in bed!! I didn't have one the first night and that was bad. I sleep on my left side and that is right where my post is! I hurt to sleep on that side! Just rember that walking helps alot!! I did alot of laps in my bedroom!!

Everything will be fine. Just think it 's going to be day one of a new you, a healthier you. A body pillow helps and wearing the support helped. Let the docs know to be prepared if you typically have nausea after surgery. Phenegran is the key. Good luck and enjoy the day and the journey!

Hi Sue and JerseyShore!

I'm a Monday bandster too.

The pre-op diet is a biaaatch :thumbup:(I know it's worth it, but I can't believe how many people do this surgery and are able to function before the procedure!).

Best of luck to you and I'll look for you post-band :smile2:

I was in good hands...I was doing something RIGHT for myself finally. This entire past year has been the most exciting year of my life! EVERYTHING has changed! This is literally the first day of the rest of your NEW life...embrace it!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
