  1. I feel mine all the time when I bend over... mainly if I lean more to right than left as my port is in right side... freaked me out at first bc I could figure out if what I was feeling was pain or not... but I've desided it's not pain just not normal and just a reminder that its there and what I am now doing :-)
  2. That's awesome. .congrats
  3. Congrat! Wonderful bday gift
  4. My dr said as soon as I felt like I could slam on my breaks... kind of vague but after surgery no way I could have done that day one but I was fine by day four... hope that helps.. everyone is different w their pain level and responce time.. Also take in effect any rxs( bc some have warning about driving) u may be on for pain. . I only needed my pain med for first 2 days others need longer some not at all

  12. Yea the protein out weighed the taste for me and they are so small I knew I could finish them:-) I hope they help
  13. some how I missed during my pre op appt the fact when I was on liquids I was supposed to be eating about every 2 hours , so when I went in for my 2 wk check up i a... felt like comeplete s/**%^. bc i was eating virtually nothing and b.. after being asked and "you are eating every 2 hours right"... felt rather silly... somehow I had it in my head I was supposed to be eating 3 times a day... OMG 3 times a day does not work for me... I would say if you are TRUELY hungary not head hungar eat, what i do is a drink for about 30 -45 min to see if that satisfies me if not I am truely hungary.. right now I am averaging eating about every 3 hours ...3 "meals" a day but at the off times I am doing snacks ( applesauce, cottage cheese, string cheese, small protien shake etc) hope that helps( make sure to account for everything (track )and stay with in your calories for the day of cource)...
  14. congrats on all the babys and taking the steps to get back on track with the band. You can do this!
  15. My Nut says eat it with in 30 min or else be done or u will become a grazer ( eat litttle bit all day long) so weather I am done or not @ 30 min it either goea In trash or fridge...:-) YAY on being banded 5 days u doing ok so far?
  16. right after surgery when I was not very hungary but needed the protein and calories I used the "New Whey " Liquid Protien ( i got mine at Walmart) they are only 3.8 oz so if you are no very hungary are perfect BUT have 42 grams of protein as well as 180 calories.. I used these to fill in the gaps at first.. hope that help. it will get better though. I m 7 wks out and Lovin it!!!!
