  2. My doctor told me to have protein the second day. I got sick from my shakes so I was eating pureed food by the fourth day. I never had any issues with doing things a little sooner.

  6. I drank a ton of water before bed last night and took a pain med. I feel a lot better! I find sipping my water out of a coffee mug (the ones you take to work with you with the top) is much easier. Inky so much water comes out at a time and it stays cold!
  7. Omg! People make sure you get all your water in between meals. I have not and now i have a freaking kidney stone and the pain is terrible! So please drink your water!

  15. I had to take my chances and pureed some tofu and avocado. I feel so much better today! I'm gonna keep eating that for a few more days. I start my pureed foods soon anyway.I'm pretty sure my protein shakes were making me sick. The gas has moved to my shoulders but doesn'r hurt that bad. I did have the tea this morning and it was pretty soothing... I'll have to look up that yoga move! Thank you all for your advice. I really look to these blogs to give me advice and give me some idea of what to expect. So thank you!

  19. Ok so I'm having rough times with the gas! It's stuck in my chest and i don't know if I'm eating too fast or what but it's so uncomfortable. I'm supposed to beback to work tomorrow! I have been taking my gas-x and walking. I have a headache that just keeps coming back too. Any suggestions?
  20. I'm four days post op and i feel terrible! Mostly nausea and headache. I got nausea meds but i swear they make me nauseous. They are the desolvable and they taste terrible. I've been avoiding my meds because there is nothing i hate more than being nauseous. I'd rather suffer in pain!

  23. I was banded the same day and i had that problem a day ago. I think i just ate my soup too fast. I also make sure to take my gas-x and eat slow! Good luck!
  24. I'm alright! I wake up in the middle of the night with gas pain and pain from my incision. Oh and nausea! But once i take all my meds I'm comfortable again. I was hoping to go back to work in two days. I may be playing that by ear... I had surgery Oct. 11... So I'm three days post op. I have the best tasting shakes! Syntha6 chocolate!

  29. I'm glad your pain is going away. Now that I'm home I seem to be in more pain I feel. So hopefully mine will subside soon! The gas is just now hitting me. I'm pretty uncomfortable but I'll be alright. how are the protein shakes treating you? Mine is pretty good!
  30. Of course brothers are welcome too! I'm finally home now! Chewed my gas-x and sipping on my protein shake watching a Steven King movie! Keep the posts coming. I'm loving the them! Everyone is welcome to contribute words, poems, pictures of anything that's valuable to them.
