Is tomorrow and I will be getting my band tomorrow at 2!!!!
I can't believe it is finally here!!! I also can't believe that I completed the 10 day liquid diet!!
I am trying to keep the negative thoughts out of my head. Actually, it's more like trying to keep ANY thoughts out of my head all together. I can't say I am really nervous yet. I think I am just worried that I am forgetting something or I didn't do something right and the surgery will be canceled. I just have to keep telling my self it will all be fine!

Thanks!
Glad to know everything went well for you and the pain wasn't so bad.
I had a dream that I was post op and had no pain at all. Now that would be nice!!

Consider yourself lucky LOL!!!.... I was in the hospital for 4 1/2 days and had watery diarrhea for 6 days straight!!! It finally stopped when I started my full liquids... mostly blended soup and protein shakes. Best of Luck to you and I'm glad you had a great recovery!!

Topic: Post op Pics- Warning... they ain't pretty!
Hi everyone!! I hope all is well with those now recovering from their surgeries. I had a rough go of mine... but today I am finally feeling better. Today was a day of rest!! I am having to force the water... and sometimes I get sharp pains, but they don't last long. I'm doing a shake a day and a can of soup with protein powder added and blended to milk shake consistency. So far I have had no problems with what I have been eating, other than remnant gas in the old stomach. Reglan seems to help that alot. I have posted pics on my profile of 5 days and 7 days post op. if anyone is interested. I am wondering if anyone else looks like this. As bad as it looks... today has so far been a pain med free day. But like I said.. Ive done nothing today because I way overdid it the last two days bathing cats and cleaning house, laundry, etc. Details are on my blog for those interested.
Good Luck to those with surgeries coming up!! November losers Rock!! Take Care,

I had mine done Monday too. My BP went up too, but they didn't keep me. Actually my heart rate dropped when I slept, into the 50s. They figure it was from the morphine pump. No BM here either. Guess we both have something to look forward to LOL.
Congrats on making it to the losers bench. We did it.
Glad to have you back

Topic: RE: Has any one cheated on their two wks diet...............
I am on day 10 and doing mostly really well..but my diet is not clear liquids! is anybody elses? that seems really hard..I get diet shakes and a salad each day..and a little fruit... seems reasonable but the urge to eat and head unger thing is kinda ugly..but i am dealing... fortunately everything i might be tempted by is gone from the house..its just me and my hubby and he is wonderful with it all.
its a day and sometimes an hour at a time...but i am doing it...NOV 19th... andcounting
