Don't worry about it! Let them know what your problem is.

Hey guys ! I tried coconut chai tea from Celestial Seasonings . It is soooo good!

Good luck to everybody, Mine was Nov. 5th and it was not a big deal. Don't worry.

My dinner was a shake with the fruit,yoghurt,whey powder,and milk

Hey everybody, I've been banded for 6 days and today I started feeling weak and almost fainted. I also suffer from panic attacks, so I'm not sure if it was one or the other. I also have a cold. I have to go to the Dr. on Tuesday. I am having enough protein. I put that whey powder in everything and I put milk,plain yogurt,and fruit for my dinner. What could this be?

If the doctors say that you are fine to have it, you will be fine. A cesarean section is more invasive than this. I'm 5 days post op and I'm doing fine.

I am 5 days post op and I even sleep on my stomach already. Follow the adivice from the other bandsters and you'll be fine.

It's definitelky cause were not getting enough water in. I have the same problem.

Congratulations cagstorm! I was banded on Monday and I'm feeling so much better!

I hope it went well.. Mine was on monday and I still have a lot of gas,but feel ok. I have my post op appt. on Tuesday.

I had my surgery on Monday Nov. 5th. Everything went well. I did not rest much at the hospital,but I slept a lot the next day. I have much gas and have been eating tums for the extra calcium too. I know that a lot of people have GASX instead. I was so excited making my frozen fruit shake yesterday with protein powder and milk. It took me an hour to drink it LOL The puddings are yummy too. I even blowdried my hair yesterday which was Nov 7th and worked on the computer. It's a quick recovery,but I'm staying home until next week Wednesday. I hope this helps, Bella.

Has anyone tried thoze frozen fruits from Goya that you mix in a blender with fat free milk,ice and whey powder? The fruits have 7g of protein for half a cup and with the milk and whey powder it has even more protein. I had the papaya one and froze the rest. I'll have the blackberry one today yummy!!

COTA 129 Chai tea is and indian tea with a mixture of many seasonings like cloves,cinnamon,and many more things. It is yummy with or without milk. They sell them at almost any supermarket now. I read an article in Marie Claire about how an indian woman couldn't believe how her tea from her country is so popular here now. There are also some creamers like coffee mate with that flavor. The tea smells sooo good...

I had a weird feeling this afternoon. I had some bubbles on the left side of my belly botton and it would make funny sounds and move like their was an alien in me...LOL I just made a papaya shake with fat free milk, whey powder, and splenda. It's yummy.... The whey powder from the vitamin shop is a caribbean flavor with pineapple and cocounut. I froze the rest to eat it as Ice Cream another time.

I was banded on Monday and I'm taking the normal pill. I have gas. That's normal.

I was banded on Monday No 5th, 2007 and I also have gas. I had tums,I walk and I also had peppermint tea. That really helps.

There is minimal pain. I know this takes about 4 days and then you feel better. I just had my operation yesterday and I am already writing messages. Good luck!!

I'm back home and the surgery went well. My panic attacks were not bad. I do have some gas pain and had tums and anise tea. Also mint tea is good for gas. I had a terrible night sleep, there was too much noise. The lady next to me had the gastric bypass. I had my jello and popsicle etc. Also some broth. Good luck to the next ones.

I'm getting banded on Monday and I'm going shopping today to get my protein shakes and my small untesils. Thanks for the advice. The nutritionist gave me three cards that explain that I have been banded and need smaller portions to get a discount. I would prefer getting doggy bags and not worrying about my next day lunch. So how many of you can handle eating salad?

Good luck on the ones for tomorrow Nov. 1st. Please write us when you come home. Jelbel

Wishes I haven't cried,but I have the runs and I know it's my nerves.

Congratulations Cherlita! This is such a roller coaster ride....I'm being banded on Monday and I'm starting to get nervous. I know it will be OK.

Lizzie, I live in Harrisburg too and I'm getting banded on Nov. 5 with Dr. Dimarco....

Biosil drops for hair loss.

I'm so happy you did it Ginaki! You were so nervous.. I'm next on Monday Nov. 5... Good luck,feel better.
