Hey NVGirl! Good to hear from ya! I'm still on clears with the exception of Atkins shakes, but I can barely finish one. I must sip SLOWLY in order to prevent the gas-type pain. Recovery's been nice to me, and I'm already able to bend slightly over to pick up things on the floor (except for paper -- that incurs a kicking contest). Grats on the report! That gas pain is a ...well you know. A pain!

Something Scary happened, this morning. I sneezed! And my stomach rumbled and rolled for a good minute afterward. It was a soft sneeze, and I was able to catch myself for the brunt of it, but I'm kinda worried, now. Am I being too paranoid?

zHey ragdoll! Marsden was almost my surgeon, but I got switched to Felts -- and he did a great job I'm curious to hear how Marsden did for ya.

at this point in time, I'd absolutely LOVE a bowl of mac n cheese. lol or i'd like to suck the grease off a slice of hot pepperoni....mmmmmm lol!

How easy / hard is it to slip or flip? I'm being paranoid i think, but I'm worried about this feature.

I'm not sure how a long piece of plastic with two tiny pieces of metal will set off the metal detector. Based on my experience, it will take a lot more than a lap-band.

aahh gotcha -- well cmacinga -- the 29th of May is still may so ya you're a may bandster.

okay i'll put the ensure up. *sigh* i tried lol but wait coffee qualifies??? WOOOT!!! i don';t think i can handle it this close to bed time, though.

i'm checking now for the clear liq proteins -- so Isopure would count? Not that I could finish a whole bottle in a day ...but it would be a refreshing change from the norm...

yowsa! I'd hate for someone to chop my reflected head off! ooh and crabcake -- I say you're definitely a May bander!

here here! so what is the average amount of time that everyone has to be on clear liquids?

I dunno, her hair looks the same on the shoulder -- but that would make sense if it was her "former" self.

I was trying to find something different to eat as part of my clear liquid diet. I saw on one site that lactose-free supplements are okay for a clear liquid diet -- is this true? Because I'd welcome the addition. Thanks :rolleyes

I gotta tell y'all something funny. When i came out of OR - I was groggy as all get out, and they made me get out of the freakin bed for some ex rays w/barium. You know "drink this" -- the stuff that tastes like ear wax? Well I drank it, and they were like "hold this rail that's over your head" so I did. Then they were like "twist" and I did, all the while thinking "am I supposed to be doing this?" then she goes "okay miss williams you're good to go" and I'm like "wait I'm not miss williams..." the nurse goes "OH we're not that far ahead yet -- don't worry she's getting the lap band too just like you. Oh my freakin geez talk about almost have a coronary on the spot. LOL

Hey NVGirl!!! we have something in common -- as a matter of fact I know of another bander who was done on the 7th. So there's three of us right there! woot! lol (I am not that energized, lemme tell ya!)
