Because its and effervescent tablet.

I really need to take some Airborne but I don't think that's a good idea. What cold meds do you take?

You all are so right. Ok, ok, I will wait until Wednesday, like I am supposed to, and follow the plan. I just freaked out when that scale moved. It's the story of my life, loose it and gain it back.

I am pissed right now. I know I am supposed to focus on healing (post op day 12) but how can I if the scale is going the wrong direction? This mess that i am eating...fat free soup, ff applesauce, etc. most people are on protein shakes and guess what??? I'm about to start. Later for my doctor's advice. I can't be gaining weight. Nope not me. Its time for fish n veggies. Hopefully my belly is ready.

Noooo. You're the coolest person I never met. None of your posts that I've read has rubbed me the wrong way at all. So what happened (in my nosey voice)?

Can you still get stuck if your band hasn't been filled yet? #newbie

I do the exact same thing when I sneeze. Lol

Lmao...

Ok here I am on day 11. I've been in the house uncomfortable since surgery on Oct.15th. So I was determined to get out of the house today. Got up, showered, got dressed, packed Snacks (apple sauce & yogurt. Started driving and this damn port area is more tender than I thought. So I made it to Wal-Mart to get two things. Now I have been sitting in the parking lot almost an hour dreading the 10 minute drive home. Really getting frustrated with my recovery time. Havent worked in two weeks (who cares I own the place) but still I didn't think I would be down for so long. On anothe note I've learned that when I eat I know Its time to stop when I get the pain in my left shoulder blade. P.s. Can someone in Atlanta come get me out this parking lot?!?!

Ok that sounds good but my mushies are nothing like yours. I dnt hv meat n veggies on my mushies menu.

Need new Mushies ideas. What are you eating?

I didn't get hungry until day 7, which was great. Enjoy not being hungry and stay hydrated and walk as your stomach heals. Keep taking your meds as needed. Congrats on your band. :-)

Ok still burping & pooting all over the place but I am getting relief. Now my back constantly hurts. When will I get a break???

Awww thanks. Usually when it comes off fast in the beginning it slows down later.

I am on on day 10 and my Dr. still has not put me on vitamins. I think I may start them week 3. I was actually looking forward to Protein shakes but I have not been approved to drink them yet. Just mashies. I noticed since I started eating them I am now loosing about a half of pound per day now. I knew it would slow down especially since I lost 17 lbs in a week. But at least I am healing. That's all that counts NOW. Lol

Ok thanks.

Posts like these are really helpful for us new bandsters. It's a reality check and let's us know what to expect. You have done so well thus far and at least you noticed the problem and caught yourself before you started gaining. I am sure you will continue to be successful at your loss.

Disregard...I found out.

What's the cottage cheese pouch test?

Oooooo u had pasta...I'm telling.

When did u have surgery?

Will do. Gas has not gone away. It's not as painful as last week. Good thing is when the gas pain comes it does pass shortly thereafter. But my back is killing me!!! I wish I could go get a massage but I can't lay on my stomach.

Lmbo...

No I was not.
