Well i have my first Dr visit after being banded tomorrow. Not sure what to expect, but i should be be on soft foods Wed also. i may wait until after the Dr visit to make sure everything is good. I was banded May 11th. i think im doing good so far.

Thanks for the info Ready, but i think i am going to end up going with the ones the DRs have at the office.I had previously checked about liquid, and my nutritionist stated she did not recommend liquid, due to it losing its potency. Apparently just sitting on the shelf, it can lose some of the potency, so you arent actually getting the amount on the labels. Who knew?? The ones at the office comes in crystal form so i can add it to water. That should be easier to swallow. ^_~

Lol, i know what you mean. He is pretty quick and to the point with me, but to be honest i kind of like that. I dont really need all the jibber jabber. I want to know whats going to happen, what i need to do, and how it affects me. I did have a lot of shoulder pain, but it has been better especially this morning. The gas was pretty bad also, but same thing, I am doing much much better this morning.

sweet. i saw you had a fill. hopefully you are in that zone. i just got banded on the 11th. i go back on the 23rd for my first follow up.

Good Luck!!

Dr Carcamo at the Nix.

ohhh i just had to dl the app with all of you talking about it. i am still on liquids, but my username is Ifhbiff im going to start inputting as soon as i can eat. i was banded this past friday may 11

sounds good. i plan on heading to the store a little later to try something different

So i am still on liquid and have started to dispise my shakes. any idea on spicing them up? i dread when i have to drink them. i have strawberry flavor and a bannanna flavor. i do have sf pudding powders at home. any ideas?

Ok, so i start puree foods in a couple of days. i wanted to see what any of yall out there did to help with this phase. what kind of creative foods did you eat? my dr said anything i put into a blender and get pureed would be ok, but i want some good ideas. thanks all.

San Antonio here. banded this past Friday.

hope everything gets better. i was vomiting my first day home, but after the liquid meds, i got better. wish you luck.

i think my dr sells some, i may just get them from there on Monday. btw, my shoulders are killing me.

thanks kbliss. yea, i went to the grocery store with the gf today. whew, too much walking, but i want to be active and not just lounging. i didnt over exert myself, just kept a fairly slow pace.

what kind of chewable multi vitamin with iron should i get??

thanks daisy. yea im feeling much better today with nausea, but the pain... i went for a small walk this morning. it wasnt bad. lots of sf popsicles. the jello doesnt sit well with me just yet, but i was able to drink 4oz of my shake. yay.

yes my surgery was in and out. i called the dr and he gave me a prescription for nausea. he said that should pass and i need not worry. i am in a little more pain today than yesterday but damn excited.

wow reading this poat was like having you read my mind. love it. i was wondering if they even made sugar free cake. i juat had my surgery yesterday, and my bd is in june. id love to have cake, but want to pass on all the sugars. im gkad to know their is a sf option for cake and frosting.

so i was just banded this morning. i did vomit a little, not that long ago. i took my nausea medicine, but when i vomoited there was a little blood. not a large amount, just as if i had spit it out. is that bad and should i be worried??? I DID have a hernia repiar while getting banded.

I just got banded this morning. ugh, i still feel nautious even with sf popsicles. the pain has started to kick in a little while ago. yay meds. i did vomit a little earlier, and it was a little bloody. not a large amount, but like as if i spit it out. is that normal or should i freak out now? I DID have a hernia repair while being banded also.

I feel the EXACT same way about my liver, thats why i was asking.

Ok, so is there a ball park amount of weight i should lose on these shakes? Anyone want to volunteer the amount they lost? I have my surgery this friday and i have lost 12lbs on the shakes and meat. I am not sure if that is good or bad. o.O

wow its almost here. gl. im may 11th. i cant wait.

so i just dl this app yesterday, and already love it. wish i had found it sooner. i have my surgery on may 11. i think im ready. i already put it off once which i regret, so i am 100% having my surgery... just a little nervous is all. ps. anykne know how to change my profile picture? i can seem to figure it out.

So im having my surgery in the 11th, and i am excited. I have lost 22 lbs on my 2week pre op shakes. hopefully my liver is good to go. I am nervous about that. *cross fingers*
