Congratulations on your great news! Why still on clear liquids? I thought it switched over to full liquids (milk, puddings, etc.) after a few days. I would check with the dr. but either way good luck in the remainder of your journey.

I gave them my blood, urine and chest x-ray today. Hopefully, everthing is fine and dandy and ready for surgery next week. Please add me to your prayer lists. Thanks and good luck to everyone in their journey.

Hi, my surgery (Lapband) is set for 9/29 and the pre-op appointment with my doctor is 9/25, I know they will give me instructions for what to eat and how much, etc. But I just wonder can someone give me a rough idea ? so I can have some stuff at home when I come home, without sending the husband out to get things for me, you know how that is. I need all the help I can get, I did a lot of researchers on the web including this site, but I still felt like I don't know enough. Is it right that I will be on liquid on first 2 weeks ? I have to go back to work in one week, so I'm trying to figure everything out. Does any one had the band can give me some insight ? Thank you for all the help and support.

I had surgery on Sept. 9, I am home stayed only two nights in the hospital. I have been sore and had a few tough nights at home, but I am walking every day. I got up in hospital and walked, walking to me is key, you have to move. I am eating, not much yet..... but am not hungry...I have lost 13 lbs in 7 days..... I am feeling better eachday......

Hello Shawna.. No, there is nothing wrong with you or what you are doing or what you are going through. I too am "spring cleaning". My surgery is set for Wednesday, the 17th. I'm nervuos, anxious, and alittle scared, but that goes with having any kind of surgery and the BIGGEST life style change I will ever have to make in my life. I keep myself in a positive frame of mind by KNOWING that this time next year I will be much healthier, happier, and thinner. Sit down and think of all the things that you will be able to do with your son next Summer, that you could'nt do (without getting worn out) this summer. My prayers are with you, Be Blessed
