Vistied my dietitian team today and was told I'm losing inches. I've been a little depressed the past two days, but will try to have a better tomorrow without thinking too much. My first fill is pending, I cannot wait.

Awesome

I take Flinstones chewable vitamin and Caltrate 600+D Calcium Chewables.

- I don't want to feel invisible anymore. - I want to walk a 5k or more - can walk 12 miles but would like to keep up with others instead of always falling behind. - I want to feel comfortable in my skin - I don't want to cry anymore because I feel ugly and rejected - I want off cpap machine - I'd like to experience real intimacy instead of crying due to lonliness - I'd like to put an end to pseudo-tumor (almost there) - I'd like to know what it feels like to live and be happy. I lost a decade to an illness. Not sure I've ever lived.

I stir about two teaspoons of powedered Benefiber in hot tea or creamed soups every other night. Works for me. Good luck to you.

I am also one week out. Today I also had very little energy, but I think I may have pushed myself too much- a lot of errands and running around trying to play catch-up. I also I forgot to take my second vitamin. I'm not feeling nauseous though. Maybe call your dietitian team/nurse tomorrow if you're still feeling weak. Hopefully you'll feel a little stronger.

Benefiber mixed with hot soup seems to work "for me" as well as sipping a lot of water and walking. Call your doctor/dietitian team.

My surgery was August 28th. I'm feeling a lot better today. Had left side pains up until late afternoon yesterday- glad it's gone! Tomorrow I start "mushy" foods.

Thanks and hello to you all! Sorry for responding so late. I was out of it yesterday, of course, but I slept well. I walked outdoors a little last night and around the block early this morning. I'm releasing a lot of gas today, finally! I'm still a little sore left side under breast, but not as bad. I have a perscription for Phenergan and I think I'll have it filled just to be on the safe side.

Hello to all! So blessed to have found this site as I've sifted through various forums during my pre-op week. I was banded this morning and am now at home resting and drinking/sucking my ice chips and walking around well. I cannot wait until my throat heals from that tube, although, I am grateful the gas pains are finally dissipating. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and that I'm super excited.
