I was banded on the 13th and today I went to work a full work day. I was a little weak at first, had some broth 2 times while at work and was ok. I rested as soon as I got home and used my heating pad because of the pain in my shoulder.

I"m feeling good and ready to eat my mushies on day 5!

Well they called and said I will be the first one in the morning and to be there at 6:15. I guess my surgery will be at 7:30 or 8:00. Good luck to all my 17th banders you are in my prayers. I will post as soon as I can.

Hey Sofia, I'm getting banded on the 19th, and plan to work on the 23rd. What kind of work do you do? I was excited to hear you returned to your job so quickly. Any advice would really help. Thanks so much. :biggrin2:

Two words describe how I am feeling this morning.. "OH CRAP"... I have been as cool as a cucumber about my 'procedure'.. really not nervous at all.. and hardly thinking about it actually.. THEN I woke up this morning and started to feel really anxious... saying silly things in my head to myself.. "ok.. last day of this... last day of bathing in the tub for a while, last day of swimming in the pool for a while... last day to sleep without discomfort'.... EEEEKKKKKK

I know the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot!! and I hope that I can add

'last day at 109kg!!!"... so I am looking forward .

.... just so nervous now!!!!!!...it isn't really the pain I am worried about either.. just the whole change in lifestyle!... and hoping I can handle it without drawing too much attention to myself!..

anyway.. GOOD LUCK 17'S.. BRING IT ON 18 !!!... I MAY BE NERVOUS BUT I AM SO READY FOR IT!!!

Thanks for letting me vent a bit!!! ha..

If anyone has had their surgery done there let me know :tongue: Im looking forward to hearing and sharing success stories!

Hey Diz...I am actually supposed to be taking in as much protien as I can I am just having trouble making myself drink the protien shakes...I am hoping next week will be better when I can do more of the mushy thing...My mind and sense of smell are getting the better of me with some of the things I am suppose to be ingesting...A few things I need to work on...I was done on the 12th and most of my pain is gone just week and tired...I am very glad and lucky to have a few weeks for recovery...

Well guys no banding for me today. I got to the hospital at 6:15 went to surgery at 7:30 and by 8:00 the doctor was talking to my husband. He said there was no way -to much scar tissue in my stomach and that he could not even get in there and to try to would have put my life in danger. I can not have any type of WLS. So its back to square one for me on weight loss. So good luck to everyone and thanks for the prayers.:)

I am so sorry!!!>. that is just awful that you had to go that far and then be told you can't have the band.. I feel just terrible.. and have no idea how you must be feeling right now..

I can't really say much more.I don't think there are many words that can comfort you right now... but please know that my heart goes out to you .. and I hope there is SOMETHING else that can work for you..

big hugs and best wishes to you

Kizzie..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
