| I'm a bandster!
I got home Tuesday night. Yesterday was pretty tough. I'm not as sore today, thank goodness. When did ya'll start feeling normal? And can we really live 2 weeks on liquids and not pass out eventually? Would ya'll tell me what fluids you drank the first 2 weeks?A word of advice for future bandsters- if you live an hour or more away from your hospital- don't try to go home the same day. I did, it took us over 2 hrs. and it was the worst part. Dr. B told us to stop so I could walk midway home. It was definitely a "what in the world did I do?" moment.I know it's going to get alot better!

Congrats on being banded! I knew Dr. B would take great care of you. Follow what Dianne told you to do with the liquids. I followed the directions to the T and I lost a good 17 pounds in those two weeks. It is tough and it is hard but you will make it. Drink your protein every hour and sip on water and drink the chicken broth. I also had won ton soup from chinese restaurant and took the won ton's out. That was really good. Keep it up you are doing great!!! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact or PM me.

YEAH Magic....welcome to bandland!!!!
Wow liquids seem like they were so long ago...ditto what the others said. Make sure you drinking enough protien that is what helps keep the hunger away. Even now 6 months out if I don't get enough protien I am VERY hungry. We are here for you....Ask as many questions as you need to. My favorite protien drink was the choc Unjury. You can only get it on line but it's just like drinking a frosty from wendys. YUMMY...I still have me one of them every so often.
Good Luck...please let us know if you need anything. We may be an hour away but we are here on line for you for anything.

Congrats Magic - This is wonderful. I'm going to have surgery with Dr Bauman too, just waiting for the final paperwork reports for my chart and then I should/will have a date, I do know I"m preapproved so alot of the anxiety is gone.
Merry Christmas.

Wow, I am so happy for you Magic, you put your mind to get it done before year end and you made it happen. WTG girl, you are a true inspiration with a positive can do attitude.
Welcome to the banded side and hope you feel even better as each minute passes.
Happy Holidays
Cindy
