  1. By lbi... Dr fresco ... Congrats on getting banded!!
  2. Mine randomly itch. I think that means its healing and scabbing. I've had other battle wounds not from surgery but they itched and its a good sign.
  3. Oh and George I had a little peanut butter today... Very small licks and I felt the thickness going down. It made me nervous so I stopped. It is on my list though but please be careful eating it. You aren't supposed to eat and drink at the same time and the peanut butter is thick and a bit scary and it might make u want to eat and drink. Also no chunky peanut butter!!!
  4. I thankfully have been so lucky with food. I have has tuna and was fine but trust me i really count when I chew and mush food to roof of my mouth or push it to the back of my teeth. Those r the things I do to make sure there are no lumpy chunks. I so far have been able to eat what I wanted but truly focus on how I eat. I suggest getting a good sugar free Italian ice too. I miss crunchiness and Rita's u can buy a container. I don't feel bad eating it, it does fill me when I am hungry or craving and it gives me the crunch I miss. Also Rita's is delicious
  5. Good for u Aviva!!! I still have a swollen belly and am afraid to try stuff on
  6. I have to try that because my back hates me! Thanks
  7. I have to try that because my back hates me! Thanks
  8. Def gas u will be okay. Walk walk walk!
  9. Aww sorry kbush but I'm glad u had a great time! Aviva anytime I lay on my side I feel a weird pull on my side and it freaks me out. I'm still so afraid I'm gonna put too much pressure on my incision marks. I could t even think of laying on my stomach.
  10. Hi everyone hope you're all doing well! Stomach is just fine but my back friggen hurts. I miss sleeping on my side! Kbush how was your trip?
  11. I'm only 8 days post op and I'm starving!!! I have my protein but the two oz portions are not filling me. I'm also having liquids. What did you guys do?
  12. 8 days post op and I'm really starting to get hungry what r u guys doing to curb hunger
  13. Ps is anyone hungry? I Ben having my small meals 2 to 3 oz and 60 grams of protein and liquids but I am hungry more
  14. Simonsaysbaby I'm sorry you're not feeling well I promise it gets better you will be amazed at how fantastic u fell even tomorrow. Stay strong it's worth it
  15. I think I finally made a ticker and am I had to go on the site. Hope you all have a wonderful day and we all reach personal goals. I also had hiccups and they were annoying but they go away once more air leaves your body. I look and feel much better. I cleaned the gross sticky tape off..thanks Aviva for letting me know to use some alcohol. I also weighed myself and I think I am down another 2 lbs but again its on a different scale so I am not counting it. I am going to tutor today. summer school is closed on Fridays. I am sure ill come home exhausted but that's okay with me because my body is doing a fantastic job with healing! enjoy your morning everyone!
  16. I have a nose and belly button ring. My nose I was able to put in a few hours later when I woke up and the belly button one I put in yesterday...1 week post op. I have had my belly button done though for years. I put some Vaseline on the tip and it went right in! but yes I had to take everything, everything out
  17. Unheard lettuce is difficult but I guess like shredded lettuce would be okay... Shredded lettuce and shredded cabbage mix is my favorite anyway! I am one week post op and have been reading everything and its such good advice you're sharing because I know what to be cautious about
  18. I was sensitive to cold foods and didn't like jello and Italian ice and one day had a huge burp and most of the gas in my chest was gone and from that moment I was Able to have cold food and it didn't hurt or feel discomfort going down.
  19. Hmm Mariah maybe you're just super swollen still? I have been so lucky and haven't felt sick and I can get foods down quite well. I had a harder time with protein. Drinking protein makes me cringe. I had apple sauce then dinner mashed potatoes and beans I smushed and I just had a scoop of mint ice cream. Call ur doctor.. I were banded same day as me right 11th?
  20. I want to make a ticket I can't figure out how
  21. I have spent hours on this app as well as the website real self... If you go through all the stories you will feel so inspired and know u made the right choice! But for real wake up waier than usually take a walk and start a schedule to get ur day started. It's good for ur body to get up and stretch and also helps regulate the gas u r experiencing.
