  3. Omg I'm in the same situation as you I wake up around 1-3 am starving I can't wait to eat "real food" lol
  4. on the doctors instructions it showed they can eat foods sooner then lapbanders, i was just curious as to why. i guess it was the drs choice
  5. Why is it that the people who have the realize band able to eat foods faster then the lapband? ive been googling to try and see if i can find an answer but nothing is showing As per the paper my surgeon gave me: Full liquids 1 week realize band 2 weeks lapband soft foods 1 week later realize band 2 weeks lap soilds 1 week later realize 2weeks lapband comparing them they are very similar so why is it they can eat before lapbanders?

  10. ive been making my own on the pre op diet i was using nectar unflavored but i was getting sick after drinking my shakes so i will get there tomorrow and see what they have thanks
  11. Anyone know of any besides muscle milk light? tomorrow i start my full liquids so i know my 3 flavors will get boring very quick in 2 weeks thanks for your help!
  12. Today is a bit better I took the Vicodin last night and was able to sleep most of the night I am able to "eat" a little more I had almost 1/2 a thing of jello and I feel like I can eat more so I'll probally finish that off soon. On a scale of 1-10 my pain is prob a 5 I took some Tylenol now I'm just feeling discomfort but it does hurt when I walk around ... Thank you all for your support
  13. after these past 3 days of not eating i better have lost 50lbs!! lol jk i will update tomorrow as to what i feel, i def. feel better then i did yesterday but im still in seriously alot of pain, they gave vicodin to take but they said it makes you nauseous so im debating if i want to take it i hate to feel sick and vomit and im sure its not safe at this point either to be vomiting, im due for my next pain meds around midnight i will see how i feel then
  14. I was banded yesterday 9/5 and im starting to regret that i had this done, is this normal? I dont know if its all the pain thats getting to me, i mean ive had 4 plastic surgerys and by the next day i was fine, this one im in so much pain its not even funny. and "food" lets see all i was able to get down today total was about 6 oz of chicken broth, maybe 3-4 oz of water and now im having 3 oz of jello i hope in a week or so i wont regret this still
