U_go_gurl68 0 Posted June 11, 2008 I will also be getting banded June 30th. I am so excited. I have been trying to get done for a month now, but things keep coming up. Was supposed to get May 30th, but car broke down with severe issues on way to pre-op; just got back yesterday. I am so ready for this. I am happy to have made it just in time to join the group.

Gabband 0 Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. And the Meal Replacement drink isn't exactly taste good. But I think, I can do it. Edited June 21, 2008 by Gabband Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdlee 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Hi everyone who's day is the 30th!!! It's getting so much closer and I'm getting nervous! How are the pre-op diets going? I'm 1 week in tomorrow and I've lost 10 lbs on it. Another week to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weighdown 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Happy 6/30, kdlee... Congratulations on your success... I've been pre-op diet x13 days; down 14 lbs. Its tough; but I think of the starving children in "x?x?x?x" and I get over it. I've found that I am hyper sensitive to smell; and without sugar in my diet, the taste of strawberry unjury mixed with crystal light is waaayyy too much (sweet)... despite the no-sugar in it. I've struggled to get the right Protein drink and combo down; I've been using flavor extracts to help. I no longer have the intense headaches, but now have a tough time drinking cold items; my stomach feels seized up; and warm drinks of Water sooths it.... which is opposite of what I had been pre, pre-op.... I've loved ice cold water....not now. also, I've waken the last two nights in terrible distress/pain.... I guess I'm full of gas/air and feeling as if an elephant is on my chest; it goes on for about 1 hour.... I think this is the productive burp (PB's) that others have mentioned... which I had only anticipated post-surgery... I thought I saw the "warm glowing light" in the far distance until it was over... and was able to catch my breath... I have to practice self-talk to get me over the food desires; cut the sound on food commercials, and then close my eyes. It will be ok, for all of us!
