Just drank my Citrate of Magnesia...probably should have drank it earlier...lol

Hi - I had my band put in yesterday on 15 September. Am feeling great. Little bit of discomfort in tummy region, but am not taking any pain killers because it's just not that bad. Able to drink Water, clear Soup and just had an Optifast shake. Haven't had any PBs or burps. So glad to see someone has started a September 2009 thread. I live in Perth, Australia by the way. Best of luck to all.

Im drinking the drinks that i got right from my surgeons office. They told me I could also have an 8 ounce glass of juice 25 % juice and 75 % Water and a glass of skim milk. Im on a 1000 calorie liquid diet. Ty for replying I havent really talkedto anyone on here.

After the 3rd day you will feel less hungry (if you stay with it) but you may get a slight headache around day 3 to 4. It will go away. Forgot how long you are doing this for. Make sure to drink a lot of water too. at LEAST 8 glasses.

what I mean to say by saying 'if you stay with it' is that if you cheat and eat carbs you won't get past that 3 day mark and you will stay hungry. This diet levels out your blood sugars so the hunger goes away.

Tomorrrow is BAND DAY for me!! I'm so READY. Nervous a little too, but just excited to get the show on the road. I saw one other person on the list for tomorrow. Good luck!

Well i had my surgery today, but don't remember much lol..woke up in recovery they gave me lots of pain meds and i had no trouble sipping Water so they sent me home. My surgery was @ 11a and i was out by 230p.

I had a hernia too that was repaired. Isn't it weird that so many of us had hernia and not know about it? I guess doctors don't check for it. Anyway I am having trouble sleeping now, due to gas in my shoulder and the pain meds keep me awake. They always did. but i'd rather be kept awake than in pain.

Good luck to everyone who is scheduled for tomorrow!

Hi everyone, I got banded yesterday, very sore atm, but know I have made the right decision.

Great to know that there is somewhere we can all come to and join other people who know what we are all going through.

John did your surgeon leave two small tubes attached to a little external pouch with anesthetic in it? They are telling me that I have to pull them out myself one the pouch is full..

its wierd.

Hi Jan My date is the 22 also. Have you had to start ur liquid diet? I feel a little bit better this morning. I was a little hungry last night but i ignored it and seem to be fine this morning. Im getting excited and counting down the days. Good luck to those having surgery today. Have a beautiful day!

[BrokeGranny 0]

Thanks Jenna.

Yes..I have started the pre-op diet which is the SlimFast diet. I had to start that on the 8th.

Only problem is... I can't seem to choke that stuff down.

I am still wondering if that stuff is fit for human consumption..

I go tomorrow for all my pre-op work-up tomorrow.

I know this is the best decision FOR ME.

Good luck to everyone that has their BIG DAY today. :sad:
