Are you suppose to drink protein shakes once you start solid foods? My book says not to drink them.

I am so happy to have lost wieght during these first three weeks. Total I have lost 14 pounds since the surgery. All together I have lost 34 pounds and a couple of inches. I tried solid food today. Of course it was food I shouldn't have. I ate one piece of KFC chicken. I took the skin and all the outside yumminess off of it and gave that to my growing ten year old son. All I wanted tondo after eatinh the chicken. I am curious about soda, I miss Diet Dr.Pepper. Have you had complications from drinking it?

That is awsome for you!

These all sound like yummies ideas. I am not sure about refried beans, I have heard to many war stories about them. My dr. says one cup of high protein food three tims a day. I have canned chicken and tuna ready. I will have to try the skinny cow cheese and fat free sourcream instead of miracle whip.

Nope, had a depends instead of a catheter.

I tried scrambled eggs as ,y patient advocate said to fix them and yes, they got stuck. I drank lots of Water to get them to go through then ate some gas X. Totally not worth it.

My patient rep. called back and told me my surgeon said that since i have a hormonal imbalance already that the anastesia would finish messing up the hormones. He thinks it will clear up in a few days.

I can't to my GYN for another two weeks. I will die of pain before they see me. Petroleum based products hadn't hurt me down there before. I do agree that they maybe the problem. It does not seem to be from the surgery. I have increased my probiotics, i take four Sustenex pills a day and eating four yogurts a day. I had my husband give me an exam and when he touched it I screamed loud enough for the dead to hear and balled. My husnad likes the sounds of the turkey baster. lol

I lost wieght with it. Don't drink anything with Caffine while talking it. I have had a hard time getting my dr. here to perscribe it (before surgery). So count your blessings that you are using it. You may be sick at first, but then your body gets to use it. However yes, once you stop taking it the wieght comes back. I am suprised they are using this if they are trying to convince your insurance you need the surgery. You will loose wieght with it.

Try muscle milk light.

My answer is to that is, I have lost 70 pounds three times on my own. However it only took me a month to put it all back on, plus an additional 20%. Everyone knows that i have had the surgery. I have a public blog about journey that connects to my facebook. I am PROUD to be willingly to be banded, not ashamed. I am more ashamed when people think that I am not trying and they don't understand my diesease (PCOS).

I used my big pillows that went on my day bed when I was a kid. However the first three mights I slept in fav. chair with ottamon.

My surgery was on June 8, 2012. I woke up the next day with horrible vaginal pain. It felt like I had been having sex for 48 hours straight. A few days later I started with surface bleeding. Now, I still have severe surface burning, itching, and pain. A small bump has formed above my clit. I have never felt such awful pain. Tylonal does nothing to help the pain. I am currently on an antiobiotic, I have used Monistat 1, vagisal (only helps for about 30 mins), peperation H (helps more than the vagisil), and cow salve (stopped the bleeding part of it). My pharamisists said my pro-biotics was probablly low. I am not chewing 4 Sustenex chews a day and increased my yogart intake about three days ago. I expected all the other issues that I have the last 10 days, but not this one. Has anyone else had this much pain? What did you do to get rid of it?

My dr. said he wasn't sure since I had extreme pain two days ago. So whe he went ahead and called in another round of antibiotics for me. The fever has went down this afternoon.

My sergury was 6.9.12, today is the first daywith little pain. however I have alow grade fever. What did your dr say about the fever?

Ice packes helped my shoulder pain the most. It has been gone for the last day and half.

1. Ride all the rides at Disneyland with my kids. 2. No more stares. 3. run three miles, instead of walking them. 4. look cute on a motorcycle 5. PUT MY DANCING SHOES AND DANCE ON STAGE AGAIN!

hiatil for me as well

I did have the hernia repair as well, that is where my pain is as well. I am finding that ice packs and my nasua pill helps the pain more than the pain meds. Gas x extra strength helps it too.

I am being banded June 8.

I have PCOS as well, I am worried that I won't have results after the lap band. I no longer take the metformin because it makes my bowels unhappy. Has anyone had success with the lapband that has PCOS?

I wonder what the difference is as well. I am 5'4 and currently 314 pounds. I don't have high blood pressure, diabitis,etc. I also stay farely active. I am guessing that is why I get to salad with a little meat once day. I have done the liquid diet in the past for about four months. I lost a ton of wieght, but once I started adding foods back in I never lost anymore wieght. My weekness's are carbs, mostly Reeces and Doritoes. The thought of not drinking diet dr pepper anymore is terrifing. One week to go!

I started May 4, 2012

I am nervous. Other than that doing well.
