  6. I got my surgery Lapband on oct. 22 2012 and I a very happy I did. Here have been no complications no nausea or pain. Went off pain meds by the 4 day and got back into my life by week two. Which involves running around to fe my ds to school,therphy and swim 3 days a week and laundry,dishese house Work and all meals. I get tired quickly though. Still on cream soups and protein shakes. Sometimes try real food like eyes and yogurt.
  7. Hi,I was on but got lost on here some how, i had lapband oct. 22 2012 and live in cedar park,to right next to Austin. I am trying to meet new friends and have people to chat to about it also.
  8. I was banded Monday and the stomach girrgles have been so loud and I can feel them. I finally went 2 on day three and today was the first day my tummy growled from hunger. I am still on jello nd broth till Monday and then cream soups and more options. Not a lot of weightloss yet but hope it will catch up soon. Still have some pain when I walk to much but a heat pad helps

  11. I went to Walmart today walked a little bit but got sore. But doing better today and pain is easing up. On the chicken broth and jello diet.
  12. I had Tylenol also but gave me no relief from pain, now on hydrocodone and take Benadryl because it makes me itch, pain is so much less on the new meds.
  13. I got banded Monday the 22, went great had a hostel hernia repaired. Today has been hard but hope it gets better pain wise. Having chicken broth but half a can at a time and jello. Please let me know what you are going through.
  14. I had the hitial repaired also. Been the most painful today, going pee every 30-1 hr. but the shoulder pain is worst. Been walking and stretching too. Have ice pack on my tummy and heat for shoulder pain. Not hungry much but have had one can of soup last all day and jello too. Hope it gets better soon.
  15. I was not cathrazied. Just drink water and walk helps the gas pain and take your gas stripes. Good luck. It was a great experience. Let you know the pain tomorrow.
  16. I got nervous when they put me in the operating room plus doc said I had a hiatal hernia he fixed. Discomort is not bad just uncomfortable oh and you will be sooo thristy.

  19. Yes I have it monday, I am on the liquid but can still eat some meat and veggies. Bunco was fun but had to restrain from eating the meat portion I had a salad. I win too so good night. How are you?
  20. So I got the preop call Monday the 22 at 12 but have to be there at 9:30 am. I am so happy and nervous, I know this is the best thing for me but still scared. I am prepared food wise though. I am hosting a bunco game tonight and cooking s it will be hard to resist tasting buying have done it so far. I know I will rely on yalls support through the next few weeks and year. Don't hesitate to email me o chat. I have very few friends here in Austin that I can talk to about this. Thanks
  21. I just got the phone call I have surgery on Monday 22, so I am so excited. Any words of wisdom?
