Woo hoo!!! BM today, postop day 4!!! Make sure you walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!!! I had a lot of hot milk breakfasts past two days, strained oatmeal, thinned out cream of wheat with Unjury and thinned grits! Lots of walking more than the 10-15 min recommended. Hope this helps someone!

Woo hoo!!! BM today, postop day 4!!! Make sure you walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!!!

So far the Tylenol Jr. Meltaways havent caused any problems.

Stayed one night only. Seems like I had nothing done. PSA: make sure you get your prescriptions filled ahead time. It'll make life easier!

I'm doing fine. Slept in recliner chair after my 3 am walk. Going home later today if tolerate my breakfast!!!

Praying!!! You'll do fine!

Surgery went well today, the CRAPBAND Is gone!!! My surgeon prayed with me while in holding. Part of the reason why I chose him, wears a bow tie too!!! Then other medical reason. Went in about 2pm and got to room about 6:40! Walked with nurse at 9. On pca of Morphine continuous plus bolus. 6 incisions plus port incision. Ok going back to sleep. Update more later!!! Thanks for all prayers!

Congrats!

Thanks!

I started trying to stock my cabinets with some possible foods for the different stages. How many carbs, sugars or fats you need to look out for? Does the nutrional label have to say 0 gm of sugar or can it have some? Like I wanted to buy some tomato soup for liquid stage but I noticed it had corn syrup in it I think and then some grams of sugar. So i put it back.

I have to do this too! I'm between thinking about the surgery, possible job change(important interview tomorrow) and all the assignments I have to finish for the semester. My nerves and brain are shot!

3 days and counting

I'm choosing to do neither also! The reason is that the carbonation stretches your pouch. They have no nutritional value. Diet ones are not any better either.They make you gain cause of all the artificial sweetners making your appetite increase.

Had a long day of traveling to and from preop testing and class!!! 8 days until removal of the CRAP BAND and revising to RNY! Got some free samples and goodies in class also! I love free stuff!

Why you still on clear liquids so long? Just wondering. I hadn't surgery yet but my post op education plan has in it to walk, make sure you are getting 64oz oz liquids and try taking milk of magnesium. but it never hurts to check with physician.

Who said you can never have pizza again? You might not can have much of it. Do you eat pizza for the crust or more for the meat and cheese? If for the meat and cheese, here's an alternative. Take a tortilla and top it with pizza sauce and then whatever toppings you like bake in the toaster oven. Or it can be a pizza quesadilla if you cook it in a pan and fold it over.

Yes, if your healed and depends on your doc.

Praying everyone have an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

They are good and no carbs!!! But I betcha they are swelling up in your pouch! Try putting one in water and let it sit for a while and see what happens!

Woo!!! Hoo!!! Congrats!!!

Preop diet started today. Not to bad since I can hardly smell or taste anything!

Have band also. Didn't have major complications(slips, erosion, etc). Just fill, unfill, not right spot. food getting stuck, nausea and vomiting. Traveling long distance for the adjustment. Lost only 40 lbs. Gained all of it back and then some. Revising to RNY on 10/24.

I searched the internet and in my education binder from the office, they can be crushed. I even read several placed where they can be crushed and mixed in water, still be effective. i plan on crushing them in a little unsweetened applesauce. I bought a big bottle from Sam's for about $7 400ct. I also do Centrum Chewables for multivitamin. They also make a liquid but I don't know how it taste.
