  1. I'm 3 wks post op down 13 lbs. I was hoping for more as well. I'm not exercising so much because of the pain I'm having plus I'm still so tired! I'm a revision the band was hell. Any one have any comments on the pain and how long it will last? It is mostly in the area my band was.
  2. I'm 3 was post op. I'm still having pain at night I have a hard time getting comfortable. Is this normal? I still feel like it was the best thing ever. The band was a living hell!
  3. Hi to all. I am 3 weeks post op. I'm still having pain in the area the band used to be and in my lower abdomen on the right side. Is this normal? This is mostly at night when I'm sleeping but also throughout the day if I sit a certain way or turn a certain way. Anyone else experience this?
  4. I had the same symptoms minus the seizures. I just had my band removed. I was also looking into a class action lawsuit so let me know if it goes anywhere on your end.
  5. So disappointed I had coffee and it did not agree with me. And all that anticipation what a bummer! I have started the grieving process.lol
  6. Called my dr. He said I can have coffee now.....thank God. Reunited and it feels so good!
  7. 16 days post op when can I drink coffee? I miss it so bad!
  8. 13 days post op. I'm feeling much better. I'm having a hard time exercising. Bla I can't get motivated to walk more than 15 minutes. I have lost 12 lbs. And I'm already trying to cheat on cheatable foods. Foe example with jello I'm adding whipped cream. Yesterday I hosted a baby shower and had the cream filling of a cake. Not much just a couple bits. But still you would think after all I have been through cheating would not be an option for me. OMG I'm such a food addict. But how the heck do you go to a party and not want to eat the food they have there especially when there's nothing there you can eat. I'm very disappointed I'm myself.
  9. I'm not complaining at all.....but 12 lbs down in a week?
  10. Did any other females experience this maybe I pulled a muscle
  11. Ok here is the next question: I'm not having to much pain with the incisions, the bulk of my pain is where my overy which is weird b/c I had a hysterectomy. But that overy is still there. For some reason I doubt that this surgery has anything to do with my ovary but I'm not sure why I'm having so much pain there do you think that it could be related or is it something different altogether. Keeps me up all night and threw out the day. Omg I feel like I'm being a big cry baby and normally I handle pain pretty well
  12. So excited 10 lbs down 6 days post-op
  13. @@Mike4132 and @@new beginning 2015 I think I need to find higher protien options and be more creative. Those pudding pop sound amazing I think I'm going to try that today. I'm still having pain I'm wondering if maybe I should get moving a little bit more or by typing my Protein will help the stomach muscles not hurt so bad what do you guys think? I don't want to take this pain medication but I'm having a hard time not taking them due to the pain that I'm having. It is not excruciating but I'm also a big baby:)
  14. Not really eating much of anything. Mostly drinking after 3 days I was able to move to protien shakes and yogurt very watery puree stuff.
  15. Ok great thanks to all
  16. Where do I get genepro?
  17. OK thank you that helps Alot. I'm finding the liquid or shake gets warm too quick. I might freeze the shake and sip while it thows.
  18. Also I have not had a Bm yet. Is that OK? Last question for now when can I drink out of a straw?
  19. That means I would have to drink 3 to4 shakes a day. Any recommendations on how to that? Sip on them all day I guess. But what about water? Does that count the as liquids too?
  20. I am 4 days post op I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to get 80 grams of protein in I take a couple bites of something and I can't eat no more. That has got to be wrong!
  21. I'm feeling better each and every hour.
