CHEZNOEL

Once a week at most.

What brand... and I assume you mean plain?

Same way you always shower, just dry the streristrips and don't scrub the area of your incisions hard.

Oh Terry, you have such a way with words! ROFLMAO!

Don't sweat the small stuff... its the gas that the killer! Just joking... Good luck!

Great NSV. For some reason we can see our progess in pictures better than in the mirror. Keep up the good work!

Best wishes for tomorrow. Your feelings are very normal and I am sure you will do fine. Check back in post-surgery and let us know how you are doing. We love drugged posts on here! LOL

Some would say DAMM cold! Stay warm everyone!

We love bragging like this. You go girl. You can do it!

Tastes like cardboard, looks awful. I would rather no have pasta. Use whole wheat in small amounts or spinach. Yes, they have flour, but at least they look like pasta!

One week should be fine unless you have a very strenuous job that involves a lot of lifting.

First of all they give you good drugs for the surgery. I did not have a lot of pain, but caution, do not take aspirin or aleve or ibuprofen It is not recommended for band patients. Liquid tylenol would be best. I only took prescrip pain meds two days. .

Hey girl! I was wondering how you were today. I just got a fill today. Now 5.6 in a 10 cc band. Don't get so filled you can't eat. Practice that will and want power and stop eating when you know you should. You have come too far to go back now!

Nervous is perfectly normal. I would be more worried if you were not worried. Very few Lapband surgeries go band, and then it is not fatal. You will be fine. Go find something to clean around the house to take you mind off of the surgery, or call a friend... Anything... Just do not obsess. NO stress, No worries!

Congratulations... You will soon be on the other side! Best wishes for your pre-op and surgery. Do come back and let us know how things are going for you.

I would personally wait. Two surgeries is too much, and you need to learn to live with your band right now, not add the stress of another surgery to the body.

Got to love those NSVs! Congrats!

We don't bite on this site, unless someone does something they really know they should not do. Then we can be honest and blunt. But we have lots of folks at various stages of the lap band. You might it most helpful to ask each new question in a new topic. That way it is easier for us to see when have asked something new. I have never regretted my decision. It is the best thing I ever did for myself. You are welcome to stay and learn and post whenever you like! It is actually a good idea to learn as much as possible before the surgery. Best Wishes.

Chicken was my first solid protein. Never been a problem. Knock on wood, cause I just got a new fill today! LOL

Congrats and welcome! I hope your recovery goes smoothly as well!

Yep.. no problem... except the cake part! LOL

Way to go! Kiss your husband for hanging in there with you. You are looking great!

Do not skip steps... The diet is to allow you to heal. If you can't stick to this what will happen later? Suck it up and just do it!

Great progress girl... please tell me that Birthday Cake was pre-surgery? ROFLMAO!
