So happy we all made it to a week and I hope we are all feeling better each day! I know that all doctors are different but I was on a clear liquid diet only and could only have a few sips of Isopure, if needed. Today, I met with the P.A. and she told me that I should have had Isopure over the last couple of days. I am not that bummed but was really lightheaded and had no energy. But, I did lose a total of 15 pounds. I now want to compare my Week 2 Diet to others others out there...

Just crushed them and put them in coffee...it was the best solution! Thanks so much everyone, I would have never thought of it!

Thanks for your replies, I was hoping that there was a magical solution to make it easier. I may try coffee since it has a stronger taste.

I need suggestions on the best way of what to mix crushed pills in? I am still on liquids and have been mixing it in jello but feel like throwing up everytime I have to tAke them.

Thanks!

Also July 3rd...was hoping to recover faster and still having gas pain. Starting tom, i am trying to only take the meds at night. We will see how it goes.

My dr did not advise me to take either GasX or milk of magnesium but I have a lot of gas andi am 4 days post-op. I would call the office but since it is a weekend maybe someone here could suggest which one and how much they have taken... Thanks

I got banded and had the hernia removed July 3rd and still sore bug everyday it seems to get better. I was also surprised w/how much pressure I feel but trying to look at the big picture.

I would love tobe included...I just joined and was banded on July 3rd. My fitness pal name is staceywj Thanks!

I have a question regarding vitamins: how soon after surgery do I start taking them? This is only my 2nd day post-op. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I am prepared for the worst but do far I can do that it is still no where near the pain I experienced w/ 2 c sections.

I just had a hiatal hernia removed and got banded today. I am wondering if the recovery process is longer?

Since it was so early and everything moved so quickly that time frame was great! Thanks everyone. My surgery Went well but had a double surgery. I had a hiatal hernia that I did not know about and it was removed. I'm feeling good on lots of pain meds.

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes! I will keep everyone posted.

I am getting banded tomorrow! I am excited and scared but at least I have to be there at the crack of dawn when I will still be half asleep. Good luck to everyone! Stacey
