Banderina

Im much better than the first 4 days..on day 6..sounds like you need more water! Tmrrw will be one week but Im not ready to go back to work..still very swollen..when did you have surgery?

I only got the band ..no plication..still recovering

I think it should be called Pli-Band

Thats Awesome!! 60lbs in 3 mos!

Carolina is right! The funny thing for me right now is Im not even worried about the scale..Im more worried about what I can eat! Spoken like a true addict!

I too was banded 10/23..i had some grumblings this morning so I just had a half cup of strained tomato bisque soup..it was good and satisfying

No worries, put the scale away for another week or two! Its just fluids it will go away! By the way you dont even look overweight from your profile pic!

Thank you!

And it didnt hurt!! Hallelujah!!

I cant wait to get to puree stage..long way to go!

Ahhhh...makes sense

Gastric Bypass need to avoid the Centrums and Flinstones because they have alittle sugar..but fine for Bands..recommended by my nutritionist..but not the gummies..they lack some needed nutrients

affect the band..or how?

When oh when will I burp! I have these awful chest hiccups..like it wants to be a burp :/ but no burp..probably to swollen to burp..anybody? Im 5 days post op.

Try Amazon..comes in chocolate too

Powdered Peanuts

You ate soup? I can only have full liquids for 2 weeks

Im swollen too...just hangn in there right now and praying all is good with my surgery..i had some doubts about what happened while I was in there...it took over an hour..i have 6 incisions..a day later found a bruise on my forehead and my right eye is completely blood red. The dr. never came to see me after and when I called with concerns the next day I was told to go to ER..i asked.for a different pain med and they wldnt give me one..but hey im alive!

Thanks ..exactly why I need to keep reminding myself why ive done this in the first place

Tammy I had a hard time breathing first two days..keep taking deep breaths..some drs give spirometers..i felt I shld have had one but didnt get one..i even called complaining about my lungs and I was told to.go to ER. I didnt go..just kept takn big breaths to open aerioles..it gets better..

Today was the first day I had the what the hell have I done to myself moment..that lasted half the day. I cried a bit and tried to shake it off but Im feeling down. Thinking I may need to find a support group..an in person one. Has anyone done this and felt this way? Its coming on again..

Thanks! Soccer did you have any fills? I have a 10cc band and might have one fill by then I plan on taking the fills slow

What are the symptoms?

What do you think I will ge able to eat at 10 weeks out..here are my choices.. Filet Mignon and Stuffed Shrimp chicken Francaise Broiled Salmon I wld normally order the filet and shrimp..and not a fan of salmon..what do you think?

Its amazing how different our incisions look..I have 6 and am concerned as to why? and my port is on my right side..it also took over an hour for my surgery which makes me wonder what was going on or if they were teaching someone..ugh.
