At this point I am happy just to not be hurting any more and being able to sleep good at night! Yes I want to lose weight or I wouldn't have done this but everything I have read states it takes time! It took time to get where I am today its going to take time to get it off with hard work!

I am less swallen that I was yesterday! I go to the doc on Thursday and hopefully I can start pureed stage!

I am on full liquids as of this point but I was wondering what foods did you find were good pureed and what to stay away from!

Since feb7 until today I gave gained 4 pounds which I feel is normal for all the swelling inside o and mother nature stopped in for monthly visit! Grrr! So for me its hard to tell the difference between period bloating or the co2 gas! My port site still very sore!

I was banded on on feb 8th! The last few days have been kinda painful! And I find it hard to get all my fluids in mainly because I am not hungery or really thirsty! I have been up walking around and I am getting ready to head to the store!

I hate asking for help! I broke down and asked and got a lot of it! I love my family and friends

My pain is every where and I feel like I need to burp but can't get it out! O and my port site is really sore!

About an hour after I woke up I started walking! I walked every where yesterday and well today is a different story I am just hurting! I am having gas pains mid back and mid stomach! O I started my period the night before!

Very very sore my chest hurts my back hurts and my port site hurts! I didn't get realeased from the hospital until 5 am central time! And I can get any meds until 9 due to the pharmacy is closed!

Dani I was banded yesterday as well and I am sore as well!

I am really worried and honestly my anixety is pretty high today to to fear! I fear something could go wrong and I could die and I have a little boy that needs his mom!

Very true very true I never thought about that really!

I am having surgery Friday so I want to be prepared to a t

O and where did you get it?

I am having surgery Friday and I have read where a lot of people have gas! What worked for you and how much did it cost?

I know what your saying! But today I had a scare I thought I had a uti! Did all the test and I am negative but my pcp put me on antibiotics for a safety measure! 3 more days supper supper excited!

How exciting

Leslie have you thought about hiring a nurses aide from there for a few days! I being a nurses aide know how to help someone who just had surgery! Just a thought?

Dani only a few more days!

Its a new thing for me! But I honestly believe this hole journey is a new start for me! And if I am not going to use my band for good what the heck is even the point in getting it!

Before this hole journey started for me I would crave things like cookies and candy bars! But I just want some greenbeans!

I am taking whey protien shots from walmart there calories are 120 per shot 0g of sugar and 26g of protien! I only take 3 a day for a total of 360 calories and 78 g of protien! I am allowed jello sf (5 calories per cup) and basiclly any thing I can suck threw a straw! I do not allow my self very many calories! I am allowed to have 1000 to 1200 per day! I also clean houses for a living and I am active from sun up to basiclly sun down! I drink a lot of water! I also don't drink any calories I have been drinking zero calories for like a year now everything even apple juice is to sweet!

Leslie how are you going to get fills?

Honestly I stucking to my pre op diet to a t! When I get hungrey I chew gum or eat jello or a popsicle or just keep busy in general! I am finding it hard to get all the calories my doctor wants me to! Like today I have had like 420 calories and my doc wants me to have like 11200! I drink lots and lots of water!

I have lost some pounds like 14 so hopefully I have lost some fat around my liver! My bmi is 40 so let's home!
