Slipped Band

Oh my GAWD Sadies, I can't believe that! Good luck on your surgery. Once you have it on the right way you'll be up and away.

Hollyberries - you were sooo a cheerleader in your past life, weren't you? :redface:

Linda....I was to fat to be a cheerleader.....lol! Now, I am getting thinner and I think I will get a short skirt and some pom poms when I hit goal.

I am sooooo going to hold you to that - and you'll have to post a pic when you do too! :lol:

Sades - you said you're worried about that first 4-6 weeks. But I think you'll do great because now you'll know what's going to happen, instead of the fear of the unknown (what was that pain in my left shoulder? - remember that?) Good luck on your surgery!!!

Sades,

Are you OK? How did it go? Are you feeling alright?

I'm a little concerned. Please pop on and just say if you're OK. I'm a worrywart! :lol:

Hi Guys, thanks for all your well wishes. I got home tonight even though I was meant to stay another night at the hospital. I can never sleep there. Well it all went well and he did an endoscopy while was in there to make sure. I am exhausted but feeling better than I thought I would. I'm hoping the more sleep I get, the better I will feel.

Foofy, no PS for me! I'm a wuss and never want to go through surgery again!!

Well back to bed for me, I'll post more tomorrow.

Sades, What a relief to hear from you and hear that's things went well. You finally have a working band!

The recovery wil be a drag but will soon pass, the weight will drop off and later the ordeal will become a distant memory.

Thanks Cindy. I don't want to jinx myself but once again I have come through this without any gas pain. I had a headache all day yesterday and was feeling naucious (sp) all day but now that I've had a good few hours sleep I'm feeling pretty good. Hope it lasts! :lol:

Thanks Judy. It was a relief to come out of the surgery without a problem. You should have seen me beforehand, I was actually in tears I was so terrified. Lucky I had some really nice nursing staff.

I'm not looking forward to the next 4 weeks but there's not much I can do about that. I hope yours goes as well.

Twin II, Sades

Sades,

So glad everything went well. I didn't know you were staying over in the hospital. Thought it was day surgery like my banding was. Sounds like so far, so good. Get lots of rest and before long, you will be as good as new and much lighter.

Thanks Cindy. Sorry I didn't let you know I was staying overnight. In fact I was meant to stay 2 nights but asked if I could go home sooner. Can't sleep in hospitals. So far so good painwise and hoping for a speedy recovery.

LOL, thanks Foofy. I fell asleep quite early last night so have been waking on and off through the night. It's now 8am Saturday. I will probably dose on and off during the day since I'm not going anywhere. It's hard turning over in bed so that hasn't helped the sleep situation. I remember this all too well from last time so I pretty peeved that I have to go through this again. :blush:

Once again thanks for everyone's knd thoughts.. yay nov nymphs! :thumbup::Banane35::redface::Banane33:

      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.
