Hang in there. I was postponed from 10/30 to 12/17. You can do it. And no matter what you choose as your way, EVERY plan works as long as you follow it. : )

Hi I posted about hiccups yesterday also. The responses I received all related it to being a reaction to the pouch being full from drinking too fast. Good luck. I definitely will be mentioning it to my doc when I see her on the 3rd.

???????????????????

Thanks. The wonton sounds Yummy!

3 out of 3 banders can't be mistaken!! Thanks ladies. : )

Someone told me hiccups may be band related, but what is the deal? I get them daily. I was only banded on the 17th so still on post op diet. Thanks for any 411.

Good luck with both fights! I also had to fight for disability retirement, still in the works.

Yummy!! Will have to remember this when I get to this stage. Happy New Year Cheryl!! Hope you had a nice Christmas

I was 7lbs heavier after surgery than I was the morning of surgery. It was all the air they put inside me and took several days to exit. Drink water or flavored water. It flushes salts and fills you up. It won't fill your pouch because it goes through. Hang in there!!!

My doc said we could use carnation breakfast drinks. No protein gritty taste.

Welcome Beffy! I was banded on the 17th. Haven't had nightmares about food hurting but while I'm awake a worry about getting filled and the stucks people talk about. The unknown can be scary. But we can do it!!!!!

Has anyone had the chicken broth by unjury? Not a fan! Can someone suggest a tastier broth to try?

Hey December banders! Was just thinking how hapy I am I decided to get banded. Sometimes at the end of the year I get bummed because I still struggle with my #1demon-weight! Who else is happy? If you're happy and yoy know it give me a "like"!

I wish I could cheer you up but the best I can do is cheer you on LBT and be a pal on your journey. What day were you banded? I was Dec 17th.

So glad my december pals are doing well!
