I too had purchased lots of that stuff and it turned out not to need most of it. I looked all over for liquid tylenol also and never did find it. Turns out I could swollow pill just fine afterwords. The hardest part has to be going to the bathroom(sorry for being detailed!) #1 we are all fat!! #2 on a good day it is hard to wipe............so when you are full of insisions it is really hard. It does get easier. Day 1 & 2 the hardest and then much easier from there on. Good luck. I was banded on January 3rd. Doing well but cant wait for my first fill. I need it.

I'm with you Justin I was banded on Jan 3rd and I am about to lose my mind on the clear liquid diet. My doc only requires me to be on it for 1 week then creamy for 1 week then pureed then to soft normal food. Long road ahead but in the end worth it. I have already lost 11 lbs. But am totally starving!!!!Good luck to you

No catheter. You can get up to go to the bathroom. Dont know if you are a male of female but that was one of the hardest parts for me. Wish I was a boy just for that reason!!

hello....another Jersey girl here. I am from central Jersey and just got banded on Jan. 3rd. I am in the starving stage!!!! I only have to do liquid for 1 week and cant wait till it is over. I am ready for another stage and to just add something else into my stomach. Oh well, I have high hopes for the future. Good luck to all

I am not doing any protein drinks.. I am only on clear liquids and thought that they were not acceptable

I was just banded on Thursday and am starving all the time. I am eating clear liquids but just not getting full. Any suggestions??

i too am on my way.....surgery set for thid thursday. trying to get my act together. what should i have on hand?

silly question.....how do i post a new thread??????

o k so after the surgery i am to drink only liquid for the first 2 weeks right? Do you only drink shakes and water???? What kind of protein shakes? Where do I buy them? Can someone help advise me. I am sure they will tell me this in the hospital but I want to be ready so I dont have to send my husband out as soon as I get home.:help:

Wow you are already losing weight......My doctor has told me that I do not have to. Thats not a good thing because I am eating a lot of garbage prior to surgery and just gaining. Gosh I cant wait till the 3rd.

Hi....I too am having surgery 1st of the year. I am scheduled for JANUARY 3RD. I really can't wait to start my journey. I am really not nervous about the surgery I am more nervous about how I will adjust after the surgery. You know....total life chance. good luck to all.
