Shellie2011 got a reaction from MamaMaryTheBandIt in Sharp Left Shoulder Pain After Lap Band Surgery
I have been sleeping with a heating pad over my shoulder every night since the first night. So Weds, Thurs, and Fri and it does help so much! As long as I have the heating pad on my shoulder it has been, of course that doesnt help when u have to get up to do something. I have also been doing the gas-x chewables and I think they help, but I'm really undecided. But I do plan to keep taking them just in case they are helping! I also wanted to say, I am so glad that I found this site and only wish that I had found it sooner. everyone seems so nice and willing to help! Merry Christmas Everyone!

I don't have any strips either. Just glue like stuff on top. They are still pretty painful and range from about 1/2 inch to 3 1/2 inches. I have a total of 5.

Shellie2011 got a reaction from horsegirl315 in Liquid Diet During The Holidays
I was just banded on the 20th so I will also be on a liquid diet Christmas. But I do have to say the liquid diet before was so much harder then after. I just wanna suggest if you have not found any Protein drinks or powders that you like yet, you might wanna start looking. The Protein did wonders for helping me to stay full. The first few days on my liquid diet were really rough but by about the 3rd day I found some protein I could get down and it started helping me feel fuller. After trying many different kinds of the powders, I decided to try some from www.unjury.com and they tasted so much better then any other I had tried. I would mix a packet of chocolate carnation instant Breakfast with a scoop of the chocolate unjury protein and it was like having a glass of extra chocolaty milk lol but I would suggest also buying a Blender Bottle. it helps mix the Protein powder with your liquid without clumps. Hope this helps!! Good luck with your liquid diet and Surgery

I have 6 incisions, all different sizes. I was banded on 12/13 and none of the strips have come off yet. They sure do itch though!

Hi Michelle. Happy to have you onboard. I have lost 100 lbs an dam healthier and happier than before. You can do it, if you make the commitment to yourself. It is not a diet, but a new way of life and eating. It is a tool to guiding you; and in my case, stavs of the diet boredom. I usually stopped dieting after 20-40 lbs, and never made goal. Finally, I found something to help me do that! Good luck! Karen
