I just saw the nutritionist yesterday and she said some people have problems with rotisserie chicken because it usually drier. Just be careful if trying it for the first time.

Relax. Your journey will soon begin

You will feel much better with each day. Day 2 and 3 were the worse so you are over the hump. I hope you get well soon. I had surgery 6/25 and a hernia repair as well

Hang in there. Look at jenjaw over 100 lbs lighter! Awesome Let's picture ourselves on July 4, 2013. Yesterday I cooked for a family BBQ the hardest thing was not being able to taste anything. I always taste to see if I need more of something. I had to keep asking my husband does this taste OK?

Hope all goes well!

Are the fills included in the surgical package or are they separate?

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Take it easy. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

You will most likely see other people in the gym. You can learn from them as well. I started with the eliptical, or the bike it's easy on the joints. Start slow. Also the Internet has everything.

Also try the my fitness pal website it is very helpful with tracking your meals, calories, exercise etc.

Banded 6/25/12. I feel back to myself the last couple days. Walking, still on protein shakes, logging on my fitness pal etc. I've lost 8 lbs since surgery. I am hungry! We can do this June ...

Yes, thanks for sharing and giving us newbies hope!

Good luck to all of you having surgery today! Stay calm and all will go well. Get rest when you come home

I had my surgery 6/25/12 and I am very hungry as well. Still on Protein shakes. I can go about 2 1/2 - 3 hours between protein shakes. This morning I drank one and still hungry. I have lost 8 lbs in a week. Yesterday it was only around 5.5 today 8 lbs. I was shocked, but so happy at least I am losing weight which is the goal. I am waiting for when we get filled and can start eating food. Hang in there

So true!

Congratulations! So many new exciting things in your life. The pictures are very inspiring and if you could achieve this while pregnant, amazing! Thanks for sharing with all of us. It's inspiring for those of us just starting out.

How big is your port site? I had surgery Monday and was very surprised to find mine is around 3 inches. I have six incisions. I had no idea it would be that big. The others are all small

I am 57 and just had surgery this past Monday. Don't know what I was waiting for.

It is hard, but I found the second week I wasn't as hungry. I got banded Monday and now hungry again still on liquids, but I am losing wt so it's a good thing. Drink your protein and water

We are all so different. I can drink the 1/2 protein drink right down no restriction. I wish I had some.

Get to a doctor ASAP. Not sure of your situation but chest pain should not be taken lightly

Great for you, it took me over a year before they would submit my paperwork. The 6 months had to be consecutive. I had surgery this past Monday.

Day 3 for me as well. No nausea, but sore at the port site and sore neck. I started back on protein shakes yesterday and that's going well. I am making 1/2 serving. Seems just the right amount. Good luck everyone.

Mis73- Great advice! I really enjoy reading your posts, you are very insightful and helpful to us newbies.

I had my surgery yesterday. Today I am more sore than yesterday. The gas pains kicked in! I also had a hiatal hernia repair. My body just aches, but I haven't taken any pain meds. My port site aches. I started back on my protein replacement today. I made 1/2 serving and was able to drink it, I had concern I didn't feel any restriction. Is this normal?
