hey robin, i use to show boxers. they are so fun.....got dobermans now.

i had it also and had no idea i had this until i woke up and he told me

hey sha trust me this is normal. we are fluids in and fluids out. i had it alot also. my dr suggested me using align capsules (that i open and dump into my shakes) to help with that, because i cant stand yoghurt. it will slow down. i promise. keep drinking and doing popsicles to stay hydrated.

i was on liquids for 2 wks after surgery.........just be careful..and rest up

my vitamins are chewable (except the irom and b12) i have to crush them as well as a prescibed one at night...(starting taking them a week after surgery)and liquid tylenol... be careful. agree with caz, as dr for more specifics

hey sandra, all dr lists are different. i am on mushies/soft right now. i can have applesauce, pudding, very mashed up tuna w/mayo, oatmeal, grits (last two are very runny) and my fave refried beans w/ff shredded cheese/salsa and mashed potaotes........i am sure there are more but this is what i am having now...i wish you all the luck

hi fal, i was banded on a wed and came home thursday, and showered as soon as i got home. i didnt face the shower and didnt let the water (hit the incisions). i felt 1000 times better when i did this. i wish you all the best and congrats on this great cange you made

hey robin, its just me and my hub (my son is 21 and is stationed in OK). my surgery was overnight and i was sooo happy that hub took 2 days to be with me. i would think maybe 2 or 3. i wish you all the best and look forward to reading about your success what kind of dogs?

hi hoping, i had alittle bit of it. i promise, all the pain will eventually go away. hang in there.

hi lat, i had that surgery also and so glad i did. congrats on your story and positive attitude and mental toughness. so proud of you. looking very forward to watching your success.

hub is super duber helping me with my food and getting (us) ready for when i am able to start more solid foods and onwards after that. when they say eat 3-4 oz of Protein and then your veggies/fruit. does the weight count for all (items) the 3-4 oz or it is for each item? sorry to sound stupid but am just wondering how the weighing of food works. i would appreciate any/all advise/thoughts.

hey d thanks for sharing. i am working on week 3 myself and on mushies also. can i ask what type of you are eating? congrats on the great attitude because i enjoy reading your blog.

i am working on week 3 also. i am sad bc i cant eat what my hub eats or anyone else (here at work). i miss that. i hope it gets better. i read on here people can eat whatever but in moderation and portion control. i think that is my biggest gripe thus far (maybe because i am a volumn eater) the more the merrier you know. what are you blue about?

here is a dumb question (please dont laugh) what are examples of good carbs to eat??

way to go gf this is excellent news

yup--that is scary...dread that...

hey msw, i sometimes have trouble w/sleeping (i am a stomach/side sleeper) and i find myself turning over and over to get (right) hub said just last night he need to take a dramine if i kept it up (to help w/motion sickness, i know i spelt it wrong...

what happens when something gets stuck? do you mind me asking?

congrats evolutions. i have tricare also and it was very smooth/easy. you will do fantastic.

now that sounds wonderful right now.......

was finally able to eat (mushies last night) and enjoyed some refried beans, culprit perhaps?

thanks james. that is why my hub said this a.m. i think i will....

my insurance (tricare) did not approve the sleeve or the plication so my doctor performed this surgery along w/the lap band at no charge. i wish you all the luck.....

thanks elcee, i appreciate it.

i am going to my first dr/surgeon post op follow up. are there any questions i should ask him?? any thoughts.....thanks for any response.
