Interesting....ugh being a woman is hard sometimes! I tried the pill before but it turns me into a raging beast! What do you take to help with the symptoms?

Thank you ladies...I only liquids tody, Im sick from my period...what medicine can I safely take over the counter now?! It's Saturday night, I can't get hold of my doctor!

Thank you....I really want to take something for the nausea, what is safe with the band? I heard pepto bismol has a NSAID in it, what else can we take?

I feel like I'm going to vomit any second, and I'm having anxiety about this......banded 12/17/12...im scared to death of vomiting with the band!! Someone please tell me if I throw up my band won't slip!?!

Don't feel bad Ms. Rhonda...happy birthday to your boy!

I'm in this stage now..I'm doing low fat yogurt, cottage cheese, pureed baby veggies, tofu, scrambled eggs....and tuna with light mayo, and lentil soup....

I never had bad menstrual symptoms...but right now I'm full blown headache, feel like I'm going to puke, cramps, ect....they say weight loss makes periods awful...I think it's true!

Ladies, I'm curious if your menstrual cycle changed at all after surgery? I'm on mine now, and it's awful. I also feel on the verge of throwing up. I was banded 12/17/12. I'm scared to death of vomiting...I don't want to slip the band...horrible headache too..not sure what I can take, I'm not allowed to swallow pills yet..this is hell

It took me about 5 full days until my gas pressure went down...but I know the number of days are different. My surgeon said time and walking were the only things that could possibly help the gas go away, I took gas-x, but it didn't help me. I will say, my first week out of surgery, I was constantly on the phone with the clinic, asking questions. Maybe call her again to clarify...

I had strange feelings after surgery as well, was banded 12-17-12..the gas pressure effects everyone differently....don't panic, I know can feel scary, just be in close contact with your medical team..hope you feel better..

I don't eat land animals, only fish. Anyone have any good fish recipes? Or sauces to go with fish/tofu?

What do you mean by repeated? You threw up?

Omg!!! You just inspired me so much!! How much was the tummy tuck if you don't mind me asking?

I would always get a pain in my upper left chest when I would eat soft food...dr wants me to have upper GI in a week if pain continues

I started mushies after a one week liquid diet. To sum it up, although I enjoyed eating real food...my body just couldn't seem to tolerate the food...my surgeon told me to go back on liquids for one more week...oddly, I was relieved. I think I just need more healing time, does this sound abnormal?

For sure ask your surgeon, but as long as it's in liquid form, you should be ok

Floridays, how many calories per day did you have when you were on mushies? My nutritionist didn't give me a number...

I bought a foreman grill but it was second hand so it has no instructions. Can you put frozen food and fresh veggies on it?

Omg I will be so devastated if I can't eat salad!

All these posts made me emotional. I was banned 12/17....it just hit me how profound this is.

I love your recipes too! For the Mexican mushrooms, was that refried beans only in the mushroom cap?

Just trying to help!!

Yes, definitely be concerned, call your doctor.

Please do yourself a favor. Verify if you can have prune juice. I was just in the hospital for 3 days in constipation hell. Here's what I learned..if you take drugs like miralax, ect, anything with medicine in it for constipation, it will expand your intestines, and it's dangerous for the band. I highly suggest a home enema today, don't let this go another day. Prune juice is the safest way, verify with your surgeon, or he may prescribe colace if the prune juice doesn't do it. Believe me, you don't want to go through what I went through. Be safe, and please get the stool out before it becomes a huge problem. Good luck.
