Off with her crazy little head!

I have my own pet peeves, but I'll confess to the big screw up when I saw my friend (the one who encouraged me to get lapband) after not seeing her for YEARS... I did a double take and when I finally realized it was HER, I stupidly said: "where's the rest of you?!!!" I immediately felt convicted.... I guess she want upset, as she told me the truth right there and encouraged me to go to the seminar.

Its not really a rant or a rave... I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't aware of how extensive this forum is. I thought there was only about 5 section.... I never scrolled down and I've been here more than two weeks....! There's even a "clothing exchange" section. How cool is that??

Ohhhhhhhhhh. Now I know what you're talking about.... Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying in the private message until I saw THIS post!

Are you only allowed clear liquids right after post op? Some doctors allow protein shakes... Mine did. If not, you should call them and ask if you can have shakes... You're healing and being in pain AND hungry defeats that purpose; so ease call your doc

Cute tummy

You're a fighter till the end! Glad you finally found some relief! Thank you so much for sharing, hubby has some gas issues and daughter also complains about pain after eating.... Neither have anything CLOSE to what you've suffered, but I will now be aware and see if there is something that needs further scrutiny. Thanks!!

I'm 16 days post and today I felt a WEIRD kinda pain three times on my shoulder... Could this be GAS?!!

Can being hungry give me this pain? I was HUNGRYyyyyy when it happened. That would be a good thing, because sometimes I forget to eat

I doubt it, it's the first one I feel this pain.

I use this site to track my food. I don't really count calories, though, I count carbs. This is a great tool, check it out: http://www.fatsecret.com/

I'm really hungry and bough some tripe, but now i'm thinking it might not be chewable. Has any BANDit here eaten that? I do t wanna touch it until I know.

Ohhhhhh.

Ohhhhhhh

THAT'S THE ATTITUDE!!

What's menudo? As far as I know, it's a boy band from the 80's Or "change" in your pocket. LoL

Heyyyyy, honey! I'm glad Dr. gave you meds for your pain. Now, is this your FIRST post after being BANDed, or did I miss your first one??? I guess what I want to ask is how did you cope with your nerves the day of the surgery??? Also, it's normal to "regret" the surgery the first two to three days, as we are coping with being in pain, not being able to eat much, and even not sleeping well.... But all that will soon go away, and you'll be a happy camper!! I So glad you finally did it!! Now remember, don't expect ANYTHING from anyone. Be your own cheerleader and don't let people around you ruin your day and your journey!! (((HUGS)))

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, and forgive me of I'm not. Are you saying your friend is dying? Again, forgive me if I misunderstood (and I hope I did misunderstand)

A week later to the day I was feeling better, able to get in & out of bed with no problem, and most of the pain was GONE!! Rest as much as you can, so your body can heal itself faster. Good luck!

Thanks, Ivy.

LoL! HAHAHAHA @BitsFallOff!!
