Syndy

Hi I'm Syndy, I just got banded on friday, 2-8-08 and i am on the clear liquid diet for the first week. Next week it is FULL liquids. My only problem is that i am not able to hold any thing down. I will drink my chicken broth and about 30 minutes later I will throw it up. I know i am not supposed to be throwing up right now and i am taking the prescription the doctor gave me for nausea but it does not seem to be working. has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to help it?

Hi, My name is Syndy and I just got banded on 2-8-08, I too was experiencing a lot of shoulder pain. My husband put a heat pad on my upper back for about 15 minutes every so often and it has helped some. I still have a little pain but it is bearable now. I hope this will help you.

I have been preparing for this procedure for about 5 months now. I finally got an approval from my insurance and and set to go on Feb 8, 2008. I am on the liquid diet for the next 2 weeks. It has been hard but everytime i really think about it i just think about the positives that this will bring. Monday January 28th: My first day on the diet: I had my shake for breakfast at about 930am. Around noonish i started to feel hungry again and waited until about 1 to have my lunch. I had a small piece of chicken with some baby carrots. The rest of the afternoon went by pretty fast and once i got home from work is when i really felt it. I was hungry and really tempted to eat but i knew couldnt. I have to lose 15 lbs by the 8th. Tuesday January 29th: My Second day: This morning i did the same thing for breakfast. I forgot my lunch so i went to walmart and bought a lunchable and only ate the ham and cheese. For dinner i had a small salad with a little bit of chicken. One thing that i am finding is i am going to sleep earlier. By 10pm i am OUT!!! Wednesday January 30th: My third day: Today has been getting easier. I guess my body is adjusting. For breakfast i had a shake and for lunch i had a small piece of chicken. For dinner i had my shake again. I still went to bed a little hungry though. Thursday January 31st: I have pretty much done the same today that i have been doing the past few days... I weighed myself this morning and i have lost 5 lbs. WOW! That made me excited. 5 down 10 to go!!! I am about to have my shake for dinner... :biggrin:
