I just blended FF Cottage cheese and tomato soup. It was very good. Have a lot of leftovers too.lol

No, to be in our gulping intervention, it has to be healthy gulping, you crazy ppb! I might not qualify b/c I'm sipping, just too frequently. PG might be the only member. And yes PG, she did. The crazy ppb that she is. LOL

It will be even better tomorrow!!! : ) I had 4oz yogurt & 6oz of Protein shake, yeah!! Dr gave me an hour by hour schedule and I can finally do it.

Thanks again Roja! I will ask my Dr first before getting on bike. My gas is not all that bad, considering what I've heard from others. My Dr placed my port right under my left rib cage . I was surprised, I thought it was placed near belly button. I think it might work out b/c as I lose weight the port will just blend into my ribs. Hoping anyway?!lol

Feel better soon Donna!

WTG B52!!!! Congratulations on your new healthier you! You're such an inspiration! I was wondering if we were going to see those tuxedo pictures, you must have been so proud! You look awesome! I was just banded 10/15 and hope to have success like you. Thanks for posting!

Banded Oct 15 and I have that same pain. Yes, I think it is gas or maybe a pulled nerve. It's way down left side not near any incisions. I do have a nice bruise, so thinking they were pulling on my fat.

The one thing that has not eluded me, thank goodness! :0)

That just goes to show how different Drs are. My Dr said heating pad ok on shoulder & back, but possible nerve damage near incision could lead to burning without you knowing it. Glad I'm not having trouble with incisions. Hope yours feel better soon!

That is so cool! Congratulations!

LOL!!!

Hi Chelsey, I'm 3 days out and it will get better. Dr told me first 48hrs would be the worst as far as swelling goes and he was right. Keep sipping & walking. Not sure if you should put heat on incisions. Best wishes!

Banded Oct 15 late in the day and had to stay overnight. Since being home I have slept very well. Had to take bandages off today b/c I was starting to itch & break out in slight rash from adhesives. Starting full liquids for 30 days tomorrow. I've had trouble "sipping" water. I sip but to frequently, but I think I have that worked out. Not having gas pains ,yet?!? Best wishes to all!

Especially when CG is writing it! LOL

Congrats! Get your rest, walk & eat your ice chips. I really enjoyed ice chips, lol. Had my surgery 10/15.

My port is on the left just under my ribs. I would ask your Dr about your diet, but in the meantime keep it light.

Ok, 24hrs and pasted the WTH phase and moved into the HTH am I going to drink that much Water, when stomach is slammed shut & angry. Dr said don't worry swelling will go down. Problem is I like water and I want so bad to gulp 16 oz in my usual 15mins. This too shall pass!

Last nights dream- I was half awake b/c of a burning pain near port and I'm thinking I must be in wrong (LBT) thread. I got to find the right thread? Who knows maybe I wasn't even in pain!? How do I control my dreams so I might dream about George Clooney or Matthew McConnahey(sp?)

Sorry you're battling a cold Dee! I've been fighting a sneeze all day, b/c I know its going to hurt. I think it might be from flowers a friend sent. Moved them into another room.

I'm with Princess CG, nice ass!!!!
