Hey there, my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 15th.. Im on this liquid diet as well are you getting crazy headaches?

Are you nervous and up all night googling lap band topics like me :)

anni, I think that is the only thing getting me by. I can look at others results and it gives me confidence to go on. Otherwise, I would have called it off by now.:thumbup:

Hey Cortney,

I am 6 days out tonight and I just don't feel that great. I just don't know how much gas one person can possibly keep hanging on too! Its miserable, I didn't drink or eat as much today cuz I just feel like crap!

I know without a doubt this was the right choice for me but its easy to lose site of that when you feel blah!

I am doing all of the same things as you, heating pad, gas X, walking, pain meds. I am suppose to go back to work tomorrow night(night shift)-will have to play that by ear as the day progresses.

I hope you are doing better and all of our fellow Sept 1 bandsters are in recovery mode!

Thinking Thin......!!

Kim

good morning,

I was also banded 9/1/09 and it has been ok.. for the most part.. I also work night shifts, but will not start back on those till next week sometime. I do go back to days on Thurs. I have to be cleared by our OCC. health and was placed on 10lb weight restriction till the middle of next week. So, my supervisor put me on her version of admin. duty ( basicly doing some of her paperwork).

I am trying to figure out, hunger versus generalized rumbling....

also I did learn the hard way, if it says decaff, use only decaff.. I got sick on sat. did not leave the house at all. I had a recipie mix for my Protein Shakes and used the wrng coffee.. :mad:

I am growning tired of the shakes, but i have not had to repeat the same one two times in a row.. i am ready to chew something of substance..

well, tell me how you are doing

take care

Hi all, not sure where to post, newbie here.

Any of you heard about Dr. Alverez in Mexico and the hospital he works from? I hear nothing but good things. Considering him soon.

Off to have my last appointment before the surgery on the 15th. Day 4 of my liquid diet and it seems to be getting easier. Im excited and slightly nervous.... but im really happy to have found this forum. How do I post myself on the september surgery list?

My surgery date is 9/17 and I start my 7 day liquid diet on Thursday. My surgeon requires 7 days sans solids and <20gm Protein daily. I'm not looking forward to a week of tasteless sugar-free food, but I AM looking forward to wearing a swimsuit next summer! Wish all ya'll the best of luck!

Welcome to newbies and good luck to everyone having surgery today. Well found out today through Employee Health that i can't go back to work yet with the restrictions the doctor gave me, so thank god for STD. Contacted Aetna (my STD carrier) and filed a claim, hopefully it won't take long to recieve my benefits. Go back to my Dr on the 21 rst. Hoping He will lift his restrictions and I can go back to work on the 24th, If not hopefully I can go back on 10/2/09. I'm a nurse and on a occasion we have to lift patients in bed or turn them, so even though I would have alot of help, they wouldn't risk it and I don't blame them. Well hope everyone has a great day.:mad:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
