Banded June 3rd! Delayed about 1 week due to the band restriction right from the start. Had too much swelling post op and couldn't keep any liquids down. Hospitalized for 3 nights and 3 days on IV for dehydration and steroids for inflammation. Came home June 9 to start Clear Liquids again. Had my 1 week post op appt today and they said I can move to full liquids and then maybe by Monday I can finally start soft foods-mushies. I gained about 11 lbs since day of surgery from the IV fluids, I am super swollen everywhere.

Anyway, I am good to go now and over that road block. Looking forward to eating/living with the band.

Welcome to all Juners!

Hey plopez,

I see your Dr. is Esquivel. That's mine too. I have the surgery in August. How did you like him?

Hey GBB

Are you going through True Results?

I liked the Dr. But wished I seen him more.

You deal with others until about a week before..then a group meeting with the Dr and others having surgery . I actual liked this because other people may have questions that you haven't thought.

Went to San Antonio for lapband. Dr was great and staff. They paid for the stay at a nice hotel and gave us a 50$ gas card. Everything they said to me about pricing and everything never changed. I go Monday for my first fill. I'm happy with my decision and happy I chose True Results.

Keep in touch.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
