I'm getting band on V.D. day!!! AAAAHHH!



Recommended Posts

I'm so nervous!! Thank God my boyfriend found his birth certificate today - otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go into Tijuana with me and I would have had to be alone. We're leaving L.A. tomorrow in the early a.m. to be in San Diego by 10:00. Testing and other stuff tomorrow and surgery on Saturday. How romantic! (not!)

I'm afraid of a few things: I hate to admit this, but I am fiercely scared of needles. :thumbup: It usually takes 2 to 3 nurses for a blood test. I know that's stupid - but that's me. So I am therefore dreading the pre-op blood work and the insertion of the IV. I had an IV 6 months ago for something else and it hurt SO BAD.

Next thing I am afraid of is the pain after. How long will there be pain? I've read descriptions of the feeling like someone puched you repeatedly in the upper gut. Is it bad? When will it pass?

Are there any other Bloody-Valentiners out there? (silence...)

The pain was not that bad at all....the advice I will give you is to get up and move around and walk, walk, walk! It will get rid of the gas which is the most painful part of the whole surgery!

Good Luck.....

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
