Dilute apple juice with Water and warm it up. It helped me with gas relief and a bowel movement.

Had my first fill today, felt like a bee sting from the numbing shot, then my fill. Not painful at all.....Down 10 lbs in 5 weeks.

So do u tend to get buzzed more quickly now that you are banded?

I had my lap band on Jan 30th and still have gas pain. Drinking warmed up diluted apple juice has helped me. Good luck

Oh nooo..I will get weighed tomorrow. Lol I will make sure of that and I'm so ready to get these staples out.

How much weight did I lose from January 30 to February 5th? I have been following my diet to the T, maybe 8 lbs??? I haven't weighed myself cut I don't have a scale at home. I guess that's a good thing. What do yall think?

From GNC. It's a drink with 40 grams of Protein. It taste like Water down Kool aid, not so bad. U drink 2 a day and get your 80 grams of protein and 48oz

2 days post op and I'm feeling good other than gas pain, but Slowly going away. Attached is a pic of my stage 1 menu just as and FYI. Ready for this journey and ready to see them results! BRING IT ON!

Congrats

Congrats!!! As far as the gas goes? Just keep moving. I haven't had my surgery yet but I remember that feeling from having my tubes tied.

Already home and walking trying to get this gas out. Already took gas x strips., but doesn't seem to b working and I'm walking around the house...never thought I wanted to pass gas as much as I do now! Any other suggestions!?

Thank you all! I'm waiting impatiently in the preop. I'm so lucky cut this is the place I work, I know everyone and know I will get the best care!!

It's ok to feel disappoint ! But trust me, you will not want to be coughing after the surgery. There are always roadblocks in life, lucky for us there's the scenic detours! Feel better, that sounds like a nasty bug!

Yeah you don't want to be coughing after the surgery, but call your surgeon first thing Monday morning to get their perspective. Stay on your liquid diet till you hear back from the doctor. My pre-op diet was two weeks. You might feel better by then. Drink lots of fluids. I'd suggest to add in OJ but I'm not sure if your doc allows. You might be able to get a prescription cough suppressant for after surgery. I wish you the best! If you have to postpone hopefully it won't be for too long.

Tomorrow I start on my 1 week liquid diet....whoop whoop.

Hey Lisa! I was feeling the same way a few weeks ago before I found this website. I was researching the procedure and complications and everything else online and it was giving me a lot of anxiety. Then I came across this site, where I have been able get answers to so many questions and questions I didn't even know I had! Most everything and everyone on here is positive and I think that has made the difference for me. Instead of filling my head with a bunch of what- ifs and negative thoughts and ideas about how things could go; I started reading and talking with others who have gone thru/are going thru this and it has actually lowered my anxiety and nervousness a great deal. Another thing that I find very positive is the way that everyone here is so supportive, encouraging and willing to provide whatever advice they can to help others out. I have not yet seen a post that was harsh or negative and that is why I keep coming back. The last thing I want to say to you that helped me with my nervousness, is just thinking about all of the health problems that I currently have and my overall unhappiness with my body and how these issues will just continue to get worse and stack up/ compared to what the risks or complications of the surgery are. To me, after I thought about this, it really helped me to realize I was completely sure that I am making the right choice for my future. Best of luck to you! Robi~

JANUARY 22.... And i'm quite nervous... I really need to stop reading stories off the internet....

@ sergreen it is a liquid; ) hope we all have a successful surgery. Good luck 2 all. I would love to stay in contact. Do any of yall know if their is a friend circle of sum sort in this forum?
