I started mushies today i was so excited to have something more solid in my stomach! it was awesome!. My dad even made me rice pudding ( which is is the best ). i know i have to be careful with that one but it was nice to have something i enjoyed. i also got some strawberries i pureed them up so they are the consistency of applesauce and i am gonna try them with my protein powder. i feel full today which was nice after feeling like i have been starving. Tomorrow is my 2 week check up i hope everything goes well. I've gained a few pounds back i think because my bowels are backed up and i am retaining water. Either that or my antidepressants are messing with my weight again, since i just started taking them again. wish me luck tomorrow!

so did it work?
-
i used the liquid. i didn't want to risk using a cream near my cuts
-
i've been sleeping in my stomach for about a week now and i got my band on the 10th
-
that's what i took and it helped so much! my whole stomach itched like crazy and not just around my 6 incisions. i scratched once and went through the ceiling! lol
-
pain meds can cause you to get backed up. you can drink prune juice or something else to help things move along.
-
being a little itchy is good it's a sign of healing but you could also be having a reaction. i took an allergy medication after my surgery and it took care of the itch
-
i can understand that but common most ppl have common sense not to cheat unless they already have. pureeing is good for your chicken and other things
-
anything you can puree to get baby food consistency
-
i posted a link for liquid pain reliever (generic tylenol for adults ) in an earlier topic and it works wonders!
-
anyone in the south east idaho area?

just remember walking helps but the gas isn't in your legs. try to move the part of your body where the pain is. massages are good too. the heating pad is the best! but if you have a rice pack you can use while trying to move. and drink water it helps flush the gas.

i got my liquid today and i am a happy girl!
-
i don't start mushies till next week and i can't wait!
-
take the total fat g and multiply it by 9 and that number should = the calories if it's higher than the actual calories that the fat content is way to high and should be avoided.
-
would like to become friends with others banded around 9-10-12.
-
you are welcome we were banded the same day and after i ran out of pain killer i tried everything else even children's but it had way too much sugar. i had been going crazy trying to find something
-
mine won't let me do that or i would
-
i can handle uncomfortable but i'm a big baby when it comes to pain. so that makes me feel better
-
i got hiccups for the first time post op, they were so painful i dropped in pain to my knees and started crying like an uncontrollable baby, luckily laying down made them go away. Nurse said it gets better as you heal. anyone else experience this?
-
loosing fat releases estrogen and can make us very moody!
-
sorry 3.50 was the sale prize but it's still less than $6.00 a bottel
-
so i just want to help some others out there i found this product it's a generic form of liquid tylenol. and at about $3.50 I bought three. shipping takes a few days so if you have surgery coming up order yours now. CVS Extra Strength Pain Relief Adult Liquid Rapid Burst Cherry Flavor - CVS pharmacy
-
i haven't heard of any but i know companies that specialize in Bariatric nutrition have cookies loaded with protein therefore making it seem a little less guilty
-
when was your surgery?
