GOOD GOD! THATS AMAZING! way to go!

yes! today im not feeling so hot either. tired and a lot of gas pains. i think im eating too fast.

AT MY NUTRITION CLASS THEY TOLD US TO NOT LET IT GO FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS. ANYTHING OVER THAT IS NOT NORMAL. OOPS JUST SAW THAT I AM YELLING sorry bout that.

Jess, I was told that we would be swollen after for a while and would retain water so anything you weight now will drop off quickly because it is only water. My gas is still crazy. Prob because I'm back to work and don't move around as much as I should had I stayed home a week.

I am 4 days post op and on the purée liquid diet now. I'm having a hard time with calorie intake. I have milk with 1/4 whey Protein and 2 tbs cream of rice for bfast. lunch is 1/4 c cream Soup lw sodium dinner is chicken broth and Greek yogurt. Snack if I can get it in is whey protein w Water or milk. I'm nay consuming around 500 calories. Is this normal for first week ?

THANK YOU! I just posted this question on a new thread! I'm 4 days out and on the purée liquid diet and am consuming only 500-600 a day! I'm gonna add you to my fitness pal. My user is micheleost.

Our stories are parallel. First seminar was dec 2011. Was banded oct 5. Now if I get out of my own way ill make it. So far so good

Hi Morgan! Welcome. Keep us posted k?

Hello! Tiffany I'm Michele. I'm from California. Was banded oct 5. I have the Realize band. My follow up is next Monday morning.

Oh yeah! I'm walking all the time too. The random gas is all gone but I must be gulping or something because I always seem to have a trapped burp. I only took pain meds for 2 days after surgery then I was fine. I sleep in bed without issue but I'm just as comfi if not more on the recliner. I had never even heard of glue so I was quite surprised to see it. Also it has a shine to it so some mornings I'm like " oh my god it's puss I'm gonna die" then I realize its just the glue. Talk about paranoia!

Goal130, Not sure how I went back to work either. The weekend promises to be a sleep feast. I'm going to check those out. Thanks! I'm going to ask about coconut Water at my visit to dr next Monday. It is a great hydration tool, especially since you really have to watch your water intake. Not sure if it is ok though for banders.

Good thing then. No droopy eyes allowed! Are you nervous?

Oohhooo! Congrats!
