lassie

I do not have answer for you but will keep you in my prayers.

I had one glass of wine last night. I might have one again in two weeks but that is all lassie

Banded the 24th and doing great, was to come home the same day but had a little extra gas I needed to get rid of. I also had knee pain and was having a very bad time with it, now I have had no pain since surgery. Started walking today excited about that. Welcome to the group. Lassie

Welcome, everyone here is very helpful, good luck on your journey.

Hi Jeanine nice you have on the forum. You will get lots of ideas and help, and if you have a question just start a new topic. I had my surgery on the same day as yours and today I am feeling the best I have felt. I think tomorrow I will start my walking program. Good luck lassie

Welcome to the Forum. I have learned so much here, I am still learning. Lassie

Like the idea of putting cheese in my Chicken salad. I guess I know that salad it not a mushy but I was hoping it would be ok. It is soft (spinach ) lol thanks Lassie

My husband knows he does his best to be there for me. Lassie

I will be thinking about you in the next two weeks, good luck on your surgery. Lassie

one of the reasons is that a friend of the family had it done a few years ago, I have heard many a comment about what she is eating and not eating ( the food police ) I do not want people watching what i eat some ot the time. more reasons but this is the big one. Lassie

thank you for taking the time to answer me, I hope all is well with you. Lassie

Thanks to everyone who share their experiences on this web site. I am newly banded last week and have not told my family or friends about this ordeal. I lie in bed wondering if I have done the right thing by not telling anyone as I feel I need the support sometimes. (When I am hurting and feeling sorry for myself). Today I had a few people answer some questions I had and I feel so much better knowing that you are all out there in the same boat-as to speak. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to help one another it means so much knowing you all care about your fellow human beings. Lassie

Thank you I love it when I get the answer I want lol

Welcome, I am not too experienced with this myself yet I was banded May 24th I have had gas pains in my shoulder for a week although now they are a lot better. Also constipation which is not better yet I am taking something but not working. Have been able to sleep alright but I have seen quite a few people on here say they sleep in there chair. Hang in there it will get better anyway that is what I keep telling myself.

Can i not use the dark meat the same way? I prefer the dark meat and my husband like the white. Lassie

thanks for taking the time to reply I will try this, hope everythng is going well for you Lassie

Thanks for letting me know I will try and have more patience Lassie

love cantaloupe, do you know if I can have salad yet?

I had Heart tests, upper GI, sleep study, Blood tests, Colon test, lung x-ray, 6 months nutrition, Bone test, I know there was more., took me a year.

Banded May 24th so next week I will be on Mushy Foods, sounds terrible, but I will survive with your help. So Mushy means what? Soft potatoes, sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, ground turkey, salmon (I hope) can I have salad (another hope) Is there somewhere on this forum- recipes that we can use. Thanks so much for all your time and energy that you use to answer my questions Lassie

I am also concerned about vacations. I will be watching your post to get some answers. If you know what type of places you will be stopping at you could look on the internet and get there menu.

thanks for your advice I hope I do not need it to often.

Thank you "lastshot" I will remember your advice. Lost 100 pounds in a year good for you, lassie

Thanks Sherl for your post it sounds terrible I hope I get those signs early enough to stop eating. Also thanks to you twinmomleb I will stock up on pineapple juice great tip J

when things get stuck do you drink water to flush it down. is it hard to breathe when this happens. I am so afraid of gagging. I am probably worrying about stuff to much.
