Ok fellow bandsters I just found out I got the sleeve instead of the band. I'm not sure how to process that yet......tbc

Good morning everyone!! It's been a long week 1 post op I must say. I have my 1st post op visit with my doctor today. Totally sick of protein drinks even though there are many more to be had. The mushy stage seems so far away but I'll be glad when I get there. Nagging back/shoulder pains still come and go. I hope all of you are steadily progressing!!! Have a nice day :-)

Ok so I've been keeping it pretty basic. Water, propel, 1 protein shake(1 is all I can tolerate thanks to nausea) and jello. Every time I try to do broth or cream soup I instantly can't stop going to the bathroom. Is it just me???

Anyone else dreaming about food?? I keep dreaming of French fries, funny thing is I never ate a lot of them.....weird.

Random thought: isn't it sad that the gummy vitamins feel like a real treat.

I swear I wanted to lick one of my daughters French fries today so bad.

Does anyone know the name of the Facebook group?

I'm some how feeling the need to eat peanuts or cashews. I think it's the boredom kicking in today but your not alone.

I forgot you started a new thread. Hi everyone banded 7-11 too. I finally had a nm but it didnt feel like enough. I felt blah today, still a few gas pains. I concerned that I'm not eating enough, I'm not very hungry. I've mostly had jello and propel. I'm on full liquids per my doc, i can't get into the broth. How often are some of you eating and drinking? Are any of you on yogurt or is that a soft food? Has anyone tried the healthy choice Greek frozen yogurt?

Oh no!!!! I'm out of pain meds :-(

Ok so they called in refill for my pain meds, yay! Today is day 5 post op and I feel blah. I had a bm but it seems like I wasn't enough I still feel bloated like. I have a question for my July 11 bandsters. In my diet instructions it doesn't say how often I should be eating during this 1 week phase. Mines just say constantly drink water. I'm not really hungry much at all but I was just wondering about everyone else since doctors are so different. Also are any of you eating yogurt? And go you think that healthy choice frozen Greek yogurt will be ok to eat?

Oh no!!!! I'm out of pain meds :-(

Banded july 11th! Today I tried to get out the house and go to Target, it kinda wore me out a little. I admire those of you who are past the liquid phase. I was happy that I got to change from clear liquids to full liquids. I'm still going to stick with mostly clear, until I see my doc for my week 1 post op visit. But having some sugar free chocolate pudding made my day!!! Have a great nite everyone and keep up the good work :-)

I just tried a back massager on my back for gas pains and I got such a huge release of gas. I'm glad some of you have gotten out the house, I haven't got that far yet thanks to gas pains. If anything I want to go back to the medical facility I stayed at overnight after surgery. I've only heard about them on those housewives shows. It was like a hotel but with private nurses and rooms. That was the best perk of using a Beverly Hills bariatric surgeon. Sad I didn't want to leave that place. I'm still only drinking propel, apple juice and eating jello. I'm scared to try yogurt cause on a normal day it makes me gassy. How many days before any of you had a bowel movement??? I still haven't had one.
