Jamoorse

I just had my banding done 1 week ago; on liquids for 2 weeks, but starving, sick of soups, isn't there more to life than soups for 2 weeks; i also have a very sore stomach, not where the stitches are but right down the middle of the stomach; is this just swollen stomach or is something wrong? I find it hard to turn while sleeping; whoever thought they could go back to work in 3 to 5 days forget it;

TXHoney1964--thanks for the info, just a sip really? who did your surgery? I have Dr. Jay i go the 16th for surgery; why did you not take your diabetic medicine but once? did you quit all meds or what? have you gone back to see your physician on all this or just doing it yourself?

Ok, lots of questions now I gag a ton at dentists, barium 10 years ago and I am scared to death; i was goin to see if they could do the barium while i am still out from the surgery???? Also this 7 day clear diet thing has me scared, i'm a diet coke feen and now i bet i get withdrawals and headaches

OK, Dr. Jay has 1 week of liquid diet, clear liquid, no protein shakes (excuse me, 2 slim fasts a day), no food; just gatorade, broths, jellos and then again for a week after surgery; what are you all talking about when you talk about eating these foods??? Did you not have to cleanse your system?????

how bad is the barium; i have dr. jay in dallas also

I would think there would be more out there to discuss diabetes and what is happening; i have my surgery the 16th and after reading some of this, i'm nervous, a lot of problems with dry heaves?
