    Goin On My 3Rd Week Post Op

    I also had a problem with the protein shakes I just stopped drinking them and tried eggs. Eggs made my stomach hurt even cooked soft with cheese in them. i got unfavored protein and added it to mashed potatoes and tomato soup, I ate a lot of marinara sauce with cheese. I too dont like alot of stuff after surgery. It is better to eat somesthing you can keep down.

    Gas Or Something Else?

    Maybe you weren't ready for beans. Try other stuff. A leak will hurt really bad. It might be gas pains, they can hurt really bad I too hurt for unknown reasons. 1 week is still early. If i hurt i just took my pain med. It helps.

    Home- The Aftermath....

    Good for you. People dont understand. I hate when my little friends say all you have to do is stop eating. Wow never thought about that. I guess the hardest thing is saying I am not perfect, It isn't easy. Believe me alot of us are with you. This world is hard on large people, because they see us as imperfect. I am more perfect them, but not perfect. Good luck

    I Might Be "jumping Ship"

    I have seen others with the lap band. They lost weight slowly and then found ways to eat around it. Most of them said they were still hungry a lot. A few had to get a surgical scope done to remove food that was to big to pass down, ..pain. It works for some and not others. Eating around it is the biggest problem. Like shakes and cheesie and gooie food that will pass down easy. just keep reading. Good luck

    Nagging Doubts

    Do you have a YMCA by you? they teach swimming. And they go by your pay so you may be able to go for free. Wear shorts and a tee-shirt. My YMCA is very understanding to money problems. I love to swim. Even if you cant most of the pools are not over your head and you can do exercises. The Class is free. i hope this helps. I work out on the steps.
  6. It is great. I did mine 24 days ago. The hardest thing is changing the way you think. I still go to the kitchen and look and I am not even hunger nor can i EAT. The diet is the hardest. The protein intake is hard. Just read other post It made me feel better. Good luck
