dna

These things are so hard to get down ( bitter) I try to mask it in with sf pudding etc but still bad. Before I call my Dr. and act stupid maybe someone else knows is there liquid metformin ?

I was banded on monday and today is friday. I was really nervous and so frightened of the upper gi afterwords . It was not anything I should of feared. I'm on soft and pureed foods. I have not felt hungery. I felt as though I was in the ring with Mike Tyson for a full 15 rounds though. I take metformin for diabetes and must crush them. I think they are the most vile tasting things ever. Any advise.</p>

Yesterday I went to pre surgery consult. He spoke of his last patient wanting the band removed due to nausea. I can take some but will it let up? I'm getting banded on 12-17-07 and starting to go through a fret and worry stage.

clear broths, carnation instant breakfast sugar free, sugar free jello and puddings, juices thats about it

susan4704, Its nice to hear from someone who knows where I'm at. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm stayong with it and I really want the lap band and healthy eating as my reward.

Collett and Britterz and DNA we all seem to have the same banding date. Thats cool, I wish us all a sppedy recovery and good health. I'm living in sugar free jello, broth, juiice and not much else. Any suggestions?

Hello to all, I love to read all that you have to say, this site is the most help I have found from real people on-line. I'm really ready for this, but theres alot I need to learn. 6 mo. ago I was diagnosed diabetic and it has ben kicking my butt. All my life I have been fat but never felt the effects of it ...till this last year. I cant wait to be healthy again. I can truley say that I feel so optomistic about the New Year because getting banded will be the best grip on my lifestyle and bad eating choices and portion control. I'm being banded in a new baratric program that opened in Saginaw, MI. My Dr. is Chad Ringley and I go to monthly support groups. Dr Ringley had performed hundreds of bandings but just developed this program in my area. Otherwise I would have had to go to Flint, MI which I did not prefer to do. Needless to say, I'm hungry because I 'm on day 2 of liquids pre op. Thanks for being out there..

Hi, I have the same banding date that you do Britt. I'm 2 days into liquids and really missing somthing to chew on. How you hanging in there?
