I'm going to sue Netflix! They suggested that I should watch Cake Boss' date=' I'm four episodes into it and now I'm all nutty-crazy craving cupcakes. Ugh![/quote']

I feel you with that evil show but thank you for the chuckle.

Anyone? i hope this is just hormones.. i am not stressed about anything that i know of anyway

The increase in Proteins caused me to break out bad

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

Amazing <3

Wow incredible the lack of compassion on here. I'm two months 12 days post op and I haven't felt myself once since' date=' but its taboo to share such experiences. The excruciating pain finally went away but the constant other pains haven't but its scary to share. What I am certain about though is that regardless of anyone's claimed happiness with any WLS it's not anything to be happy about. It's unnatural and preventable. All these young kids doing this surgery should be considered a crime. All these parents allowing their five year olds having adult size meals should be fined or something. And I'm glad that Maui hasn't let anyone intimidate her into silence. Right now my stomach feels so weird that I gave my husband my surgeons cell number And some pertinent information, in the event something happens to me. I don't understand y all the self righteousness, when we all know that WLS is not ideal for anyone to have, and maybe just maybe the problem is in the delivery, but maybe not.[/quote']

:/ I hope your gets better Hun. I'm not even a month out yet but I understand the stomach feeling weird.. But it sounds like your is much more than mine and I'm sorry for that.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the pains? My only real pain is laying on my port side and lots of tenderness--I don't mean to be nosy im just curious and constantly looking for more stuff to look out for.

Good luck and I hope this gets better for you.

Oh ok' date=' now I get it! well the craving of food didn't start for me that early, but it did come around. When do you go to purée foods? My advice is just think about the serious complications that eating this early could cause.. I know the food looks, smells and probably tastes good, but it's simply not worth it. You will be able to have good tasting solid food again, but you just have to wait it out.. Good luck!! Stay strong, no solid food is with hurting yourself over (which it sounds like you understand that very well). Sorry that I don't have any great advice[/quote']

Whoops I misunderstood as well sorry. Leave it to the female to Jump to conclusions lol.

Purée food make it easier but the first week was pretty bad. Once I was on full liquids it was better. I also purchased a cookbook on line that had guide lines for what to eat and how to eat it depending on how many weeks it had been since surgery. Those cook books are still my life saver.

I did bad and tried to move to solids on my second week because I was chewing it really well and putting it in my magicbullet blah blah blah but once I went to me post op appointment and got a better understanding of why I can't hurry my self along (insides healing and adapting) I put a stop to it and started following the doctors instructions

900 to 1100 calories a day' date=' 70 to 90 grams Protein. I think I am near the green zone.[/quote']

Is these calories before or after exercise calories are deducted from it?

Is there any type of Protein Bars we are allowed to have?

Anybody have any good ideas in a type I should try? I need something for either at work it after working out.

I'm just worried about being dizzy from working out on so much fewer calories

I was banded on May 30 and I am having a hard time with not being able to have solid foods. Anyone else going threw this.

On may 30th??? I was on liquids only still 2days after surgery.

Once you get to your desired weight is there a way the bad can be adjusted?

Absolutely. I have several friends who got a bit of Fluid taken out to gain a few pounds once they got there. Good luck!!

I used Isopure pre mixed (40grama Protein, zero carbs and sugar@ 160 calories a bottle) before surgery and have been using Celebrate since surgery (has all my Vitamins included)

Well thanks for all the support he must of heard you guys or just felt bad lol. He apologized for being a jerk. He made some mini ears of corn to replace the mac & cheese I was about to go on wife strike. I going to keep at it till I get it right or just use Portion Control

Glad he apologized. Look up some lap band cookbooks they have some awesome recipes and you can't get them cheap on Amazon

I was banded on May 16th' date=' and at my follow up appointment was told to slowly introduce soft foods. Now everytime I eat, even if it is only one small bite, I get nautious. Has anyone else been experiencing this?[/quote']

What kinds if food are you eating? I did but I stayed on mushies longer because of it

I had on the 7th. Once my severe swelling went down I started losing between.5-1 pound a day. Mine hasn't moved the past few days either but was told that's completely normal

Good luck!!!

Good luck!

Go get it out and feel better.

I agree. Take care of your self and feel better

I was wondering the same thing. Usually' date=' she is all over these forums, and I haven't seen her in a couple of days. I just looked at her profile, and she posted that she had blood clots in both legs, and is in the hospital. I hope she is okay - that is very scary stuff [/quote']

Oh no hope she is ok now. That's scary. I noticed I hadn't been seeing her :/

Good luck!

Good luck

You look wonderful

I was banded on the 20th of May. I really want to get in the pool tomorrow and just float around. That's 12 days post op. think that's ok??

I was told 6 weeks before I get in my own pool 8 for a public pool

You look awesome!!

I walked last night for an hour and it felt great. I didn't think I could walk an entire hour without stopping.
