Heh. My doc said that I could have watered down cream of wheat in my full liquids stage, but to make sure I drink while I eat it. I mixed it with Protein Powder and light yogurt smoothie. Yum.

Hi, everyone. I just got my band on Tuesday, 8/21. It was a birthday present to myself-I turned 40 on Monday, Aug. 20th. I just joined this group this morning.

I hope to get a lot of support from the group and to be a source of supoort for the other members, too.

Good luck with everyone's surgery and recovery.

Jen

Banded Aug 23 and doing great. Walking, sipping, taking pain meds...all is good. If a big baby like me can make it through this...anyone can! This was my first surgery and I was terrified and I am happy to say the experience was not EVEN a fraction as bad as I thought it would be. All went very well and I'd do it again in an instant. We'll see what tomorrow brings!?!

Probably be a few potholes, dead skunks, blown out tires, etc..just steer safely around them and do the best you can to keep the rubber on the road. It will be an interesting ride for sure!

I feel like I could have some today but I am only on day 3 not supposed to have it until day 4. I did have some applesauce yesterday so I could possibly go to the bathroom. It was successful. LOL I am glad I had the surgery but had some food regret yesterday. I need to think that food is fuel....I'll get there.:confused:

I'm on full liquids for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks mushies, 2 weeks soft foods, then gradual introduce reg food one at a time. My clinic is very conservative that way. It's going to be a rough, bumpy ride and the road is curvy and hilly (can you tell I just LOVE the road/wls association?!)

Did I mention there's NO SHOULDER on this road.

Okay, time to say good night. :notagree

hi ya'll! i was banded on august 15 2007. I have lost 19 lbs. since starting pre surgery diet & surgery and have about 60 lbs more to go but am very excited to have lost this. i am older also at age 54 but feel it's more reason to do now for better health in future. I know i have had alot of problems with trapped gas. Not fun! just started mushy foods today. had instant potatoes, egg drop Soup was great.

I went to the doctor today and I FINALLY have a banding date: August 6th! I start all fluids tomorrow until surgery. I just can't wrap my mind around that yet, but I am excited that the big day is just around the corner.
