Getting the Realize Band Tomorrow

[andymanj 0]

Hello all...

I was approved by my insurance company a few weeks ago and my surgery is tomorrow. My wife (SamieTeacher) was banded in December and I'm about to join her. I've been on a liquids only diet all week and I'm glad that's almost over. I'm looking forward to some soft and pureed foods (Never thought I'd be saying that). It's been difficult this week but not as hard as I thought it would. Of course I did have a dream about a chili dog last night! I never thought I'd dream about food! I look forward to meeting others on here to compare my experiences with and get advice.

Welcome to LBT, Andy. I had to laugh at myself for dreaming about food during my pre-op diet. It wasn't as if food was on my mind or anything. lol

Best wishes to you for your surgery tomorrow!

I am just a few days post-op and last night I dreamed that I was eating all kinds of foods. I woke up feeling guilty that I'd screwed up on my post-op diet.

Thank goodness it was all a dream! I'm so glad :-)

Anyway, welcome! You're lucky to have someone close to you who has gone through it all and can help you on your journey.
