Ok I know what a fill does, but somethings about them I dont get. Whats flouro? DO i have to swallow barium at fills? YUCK!

I cheated several times and my surgery went just fine. Good Luck.

about 10 days for me too!

I am almost 2 weeks post. I am on purees. When they say puree, does it have to be liquid? Can i chop Boars head turkey and have that? They said i can have chicken salad, egg salad and chili, so i am not sure about the bh turkey!

What happened with kathy and jello?

Where do u buy that Borden milk? I have never seen a it before? Thanks shelly!

:laugh Oh Thanks for the info on the milk. I am NOT MOVING ON TO MUSHIES. I am going to keep trying the shakes. i will find one i can handle. Might do an egg with cheese in the am or a yogurt with Unjury protein powder in it. But darni I said I am doing this and I am going to do as I was told!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we will see what tomorrow brings!!!!

I am going to try yogurt and some egg salad for some protein, and get some powder to add to some drinks, like my snapple tea. I actually just ate a piece of fat free cheese. dont know if that was a no no or not but it went down. So we will see how I do tomorrow!

Well when I spoke to the nutritionost she told me to go on to mushies, try to get some tuna, scrambled eggs, add protein powder to pudding......but am I gonna hurt my band?

I read it and i thought it was pretty informative for before and immediatley after surgery, but not much long term info.

Hey are u in florida?

Go for it girl. U will probably be at your goal after tt. Good luck and congrats on such success!

Well I am not doing so well with this clear liquids and protein shake thing. I am 8 days post op. The mere though of another protein shake makes me wanna hurl. (sorry lol) I am supposed to be on this diet for TWO more weeks. I have tried protein shake after protein shake, now even the texture, the feel the cold, yuck. I am feeling discouraged because I am not able to do this. I am not getting anything in but Snapple Diet Peach Tea. I am tired, hubgry, and upset. I am waiting to hear back from the nutritionist about moving on to the pureed stage. I am afraid it will hurt my band. Why did they have me doing it for 3 weeks if it was NECESSARY? I am afraid I am going to end up dehydrated, ketosis, something awful.

That stinks! Thats the same day I decided I was going to be banded. I was banded May 31! I guess I got lucky~~~!!!!!! Sending some of my luck ur way!!!!!

So they told me that even though I am on liquids for 3 weeks after op, said I can have applesauce. The whole little container with crushed meds. Well meds are tiny, so i dont crush. SO i decide to have some applesauce. OMG it is sitting right in my throat. I only ate about half the little container bc I was feeling full. Ugh now i feel awful. I am so confused about head hunger. How do we describe it? Do u feel it in your belly? Or just in your head literally? Thanks for listeing to me whine!

Email me! I'd love to chat anytime!!!! I also have 3 different messengerS!

I plan to do any kind of walk like that that comes up here! It havent been able to do that in so long! I walked yesterday, VERY BRIEFLY. Was scorching hot and mosquitoes everywhere. Hubby is borrowing his mom's treadmill for me!!! Ya hubby! Gotta love him!

Feel better sweetie! That doesnt sound fun at all!

I started out looking into lapband on april 26. Went to a meeting, around the 30th. Then i was 257. I was banded May 31. I was 240 day of surgery and 233 now. Wll worth it. Bets decision I have made for ME in a long time! Good Luck!!

Whatever You Do.........do Not Drink Any Water After Midnight Before The Endoscopy. I Did And It Seriuosly Almost Cost Me My Life!

OK, now for the big question! Are they good? What flavor?

Ok, So i am on shakes and clear liquids for THREE weeks. One down, 2 to go. Weight is going but stilllll........... i need something different. Are Boost shakes ok for a protein shake? Please any advice will help me.

Hello. i chose the band over the bypass because it is much less invasive and can be reversed. I need to be healthy to raise my girls, but not at the cost of my life. Bypass was just too risky for me!

Ok well I am new. Dont know if i can not weigh but hey i can sure try right? This mornings weight was 235!!!

Last week, as i entered the operating room, they put me on the table and i said, "you better hurry up and put me to sleep before I get up and leave." See my point? It's normal, we all do it. I am so thankful, I love it so far!
