I will be banded tomorrow too. We just got back from Aruba last night and I definitely was not dieting. Started my Clear liquids today but that was all that was required. I remember when I drank Optifast for 5 months and lost 57 pounds but gained it back. I am looking forward to this new life!!!

Good luck

Brenda

Hi Bren,

My time was worse than i expected, but also better. I'm great now, but the first 2 days were hell. THe gas pain and bloating were the worst. The wierd thing is, I can't burp!

Plus, I can feel the tablets going down!

Jen I still have the gas and bloating but thank goodness I am able to burp!!! I am not taking any tablets everything I am taking is in liquid form. I am so proud of all of us for the courage to do this!!

I spoke too soon. I just had a nap and woke up with my stomach making some fantastic noises and now I have the runs. I presume it is from just having liquids, but boy is it uncomfortable!

Bren, I"m also proud that we are on the lighter side. Trying to learn how to burp again! I started patting my chest, but no relief yet!

They said it could be from the liquid we drank too from the xray after our surgery. I think it is just change in diet. It is only 4:20 a.m. here just had to get up and get moving again.

Hey guys...y'all are a day ahead of me and I'm hoping today was a better day for you. I still haven't had a BM so the doc is really pushing liquids. My pain is better but still feeling alot of tightness in the upper abdomen.

Let us here how you are!

I feel really good. Today we went to the movies and out to dinner. Our local restaurant let me bring in a vanilla yogurt and I ordered chicken noodle Soup broth only please. :-P I really enjoyed myself and it felt great to get out! Hope you are all doing good.

Hi everyone!! I have to say this was tougher for me than I expected--terrible bloating/gas pressure,sliming nausea and horrible stomach gas helped only a little by Gas-X. But today I'm starting to do more, and except for awful hunger (and some weakness from it) I think i'll survive!!

I cannot take any arthritis meds for 2 weeks, so walking is difficult at this point. Can't wait for Tuesday, when I can start Stage 2, although I am a little nervous about gas and nausea---I'm so excited to think about pounds coming off and STAYING OFF!!!! No more yoyoing. I told my DH--"You are taking me to Aruba after I lose 100 lbs.!!"--I've never been there.

Hope everyone's doing well!!

Hi Carol,

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I hope this week will be better. I am glad that I am able to swallow my Celebrex. I take on every day for my knee. It seems to be going down fine and I am glad I can take it. The Dr. never said I couldn't so I hope it's OK that I am. I hope you feel better soon. Diane

        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
