I was banded on Monday and am on a liquid diet. Today I eat a very small serving of mashed potatoes. Is this super bad? I mean, I know it's bad because of the carbs, but is it bad for my healing....

Does anyone on here take Robaxin? I just want to make sure it's okay to take with the band. I take it for a pinched nerve and forgot to ask my doctor if it's okay, but I REALLY need to take it tonight!

Thanks for the advice. From what I've read, it's probably because I am going to fast and moving the needle to much. At least now I know for sure that nursing is not my calling. LOL

I'm not complaining about having to do it. I just wanted to know if anyone is having the same reactions I am. Also, I didn't have to do any drink the before nor after surgery...

Has anyone on here had to give themselves Lovenox injections post opp? Mine are very painful and keep causing bruising and knotting.

I had surgery Monday and am still having gas problems. Did anyone else have gas that lasted this long? It's getting annoying!

Hi! I was banded Monday and am feeling great, but I AM STARVING!! I have been on clear liquids, but luckily I get to go back to regular liquids tomorrow, which includes protein shakes and cream of chicken soup. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions of things for my liquid diet. I have 10 more days of it. I am a VERY picky eater, which makes this process that much harder. What I was eating was cream of chicken soup, sugar free fudgepops, and drinking water.

I have BC/BS of Alabama and have been denied because my weight for 2008 was just under what it needed to be to qualify. Has anyone else had this happen? The lady at my dr's office said she was going to appeal. How long does that process take? I am really anxious and don't want to wait any longer and will be devastated if I don't get approved!!!:thumbup:
