i actually had to get up and look ... i have 4 little once and one bigger one where the port is ....i might have to get an unflavored Protein powder cause with the shakes i aint getting it in right now...

I choose the Band because i didnt want to mess with my insides and it doesnt cause no malabsorbtion....i felt a whole lot more comfi with the thought of getting the Band ...

i cant get the jello down it hurts but i did way more shake in 11 oz half breakfast and half afternoon and and two 8 oz cups of broth 1 sf pudding half lunch and half for dinner....

i had that earlier today ...lol but it went away , its only been 2 days so im sure by the end of the week it will be gone...i just cant manage the amount of Protein shakes right now im stuck on broth ...

I had mine Monday too, and i have to be on the liquid diet 2 more weeks before i get to have anythingelse .Right now im not even hungry at all , i try to sip on broth at lunch and dinner time, i cant not manage 3 shakes so i make one with a double scoop of protein and hopefully i can get more in further down this week....jello doesnt seem to go down so well ,it kind of hurts but a few spoons sf pudding work fine .....warm tea always feels good too i try to drink but im not drinking enough just yet but im trying to get there .....i didnt get sick yet i havent had to take no pain meds today ...the gas pain is mostly gone ...i had the hick ups earlier they didnt feel to good ...

good to hear u doing well ....

i did the same i stopped reading them, the ignorance of some ppl is so sickening

i will try the pudding tonight too ...

i can get a good amount of fluids down and it fills me up. Just when i eat the jello it still doesnt feel to good and i can only do like a very small amount...maybe it takes a few days till it feels better

I used some Gas-x stripes for the gas pain they work pretty good ....but i think it will take a few days until all the soreness is gone afterall they did go in there and worked on our insides ....it will get better keep your head up

I heard of ppl eating sushi and bread just like stephyanders just said ...its just like with chicken some eat it with no problems some say it gets stuck . i was also told somethings just need to be very moist and need to be eaten with a good amount of gravy in order to work with the band ....i guess we will find out ...

im not really tired ..this afternoon i was trying to take a nap but all the neighbors decided to cut their grass and all the neigborhood dogs where barking and of course all the kids was playing outside the little once ...Grrrrrrr i was just about to lose my patients with all of em .....

im sorry to hear u not feeling well ...im sure it will get better soon

Good to know im not the only one i wasnt so sure if it was me .... i m having peppermint tea too and an orange vitamin water ....i always have coconut water in the morning that helped me stay hydrated when i got sick last summer, i will keep drinking it ....

I was a little unsure at the start, so i really sat down and researched what expierence ppl had with either or , i decided for the lapband cause it doesnt cause malabsorption and the thought of messing with my insides like that really scared me but the doctor will sit down and talk it over with u and im sure u will make up your mind :-) ...

So i got home this morning, still feeling wonderful. ...just a lil sore and a tiny bit of gas pain....i lost 8 lbs with this pre op diet, that makes 33 lbs i lost since october ,when i got sick with Gerd and Gastritis ...now i will have to continue the same diet for another 2 weeks. As of right now, i cant get no 3 shakes in all i had was 1 ,i did put double of the protein powder in tho ....then i had a little broth through out the day . I just had a 1/4 cup of jello for dinner and i felt a lil uncomfi but maybe its because my insides are still sore... ...overall i have to say my first hospital expierence in the USA was wonderful very nice nurses and doctors they took very good care of me :wub: ...

Got my band !!!and sofar I'm feeling wonderful a lil sore but that's ok ....I was really a nervous wreck( for nothing) until I got my Meds to relax :- ) that was some good stuff ...lol .... I was up running up n down the hallways like 1 hour after surgery.......Now I'm all smiles :-) ... I hope the others that had their date today too are doing just as great :-)

Im with u, im a nervous mess here too.... . i keep tellin myself its going to be alright but somehow its not working ...but we all will be just fine....

I'm will be thinking bout u guys too ...im have to be at the hospital at 9.30 .... ...

i believe ISO PURE has one too....

i have one more day of this pre surgery diet and im so hungry im ready to catch one of the squirrels in the back yard and grill it .....i have to say it has been some tough 2 weeks for me ...the shakes and the broth im so done with it for now but i know it will continue another 2 weeks but i hope that the first couple days after surgery wont be so bad . but i believe it doesnt matter what kind or brand of shakes u buy they all turn nasty after a certain time ....

i bought the one from CVS PAIN RELIEF ADULT LIQUID its the same as tylenol

the GNC 100% whey protein powders are pretty good ! .....
