I was banded july 16th congrats on the surgery :eek: I guess I need to add one of those butterfly things.. where do i get the code?

WHat!!!38grams??? please tell me what flavor exactly I will go buy 100 of these naked juice things I am so tired of this other protein. Please let me know where to buy it also. Thanks

well I will say this.. not sure if its because I am young or what .. but I gained weight at 17 then lost almost all of it at 20 that was about 60 65 pounds I had no saggy skin.. I gained it back when I was about 23 until now I was banded 13 days ago and I hope not to have saggy skin.. we will see :eek:

thanks lynn :eek: Bombaman... They were closed with glue.. they are now open because I pulled the glue off because the dr told me to since there was an infection. If I had not pulled the glue off they would be still closed but at 10 days they should be closing on there own but since the infection I guess they cant.. UPDATE I am doiing good the cuts look good not too much puss anymore I think I will be fine thanks everyone :drool:

well thanks yall I might try it out.. I am really scared about my hair its long and drk almost black I already have a problem with it falling out before surgery so I really hope I can keep my hair I have never had short hair in my whole life so I dont want to start now.

hmm Im not out long enough to have a fill yet.. Im post op 12 days and have lost 8 pounds since the surgery.. I want lots of fills lol I had a 20,000 dollar surgery so I want to fill that baby up and use it to the max lol

hi what is the couch to 5k?

hey amonroy looks like we have the same band date... and almost the same start and finish goal add me also so we can keep in touch :thumbup:

HI Michelle Im 25 also I just turned 25 in June anyways I was banded on the 16th of this month. Add me to your friend list lets keep in touch k.. And if you have any questions just send me an email :thumbup:

well I have to wait until wednesday 2 weeks post op to start mushies... but I started them yesterday I know its not good to do but I stopped loosing weight because I only was getting around 300 cals a day as soon as I started mushies I started loosing weight again and I fill 1000% percent better :mad2:

ah yes I also take the chewable calcium with vitamin D and K

I take flintstons chewable and then a chewable vitamin C and a super B complex liquid. yes you have to take a muti vitamin... Im only 10 days post op and notice my hair falling out more than normal... my cousin is 3 yrs post op and her hair is very thin she had to go to the derm.dr to have special medicin for that

well my dr is very strange.. lol my family does not like him.. anyways I guess I will let the hospital look at them on monday to see if im ok

So this morning I noticed puss on one of my cuts near the big port cut. My incisions are glued with nothing on them I came out of surgery like that. Anyways so I call the nurse then the dr. He called in antibotics and said take a shower wash it and take the glue off. Ok so I did this and the glue came off 2 of my incisions well now I have 2 wholes on my stomach... So of course I called back to the nurse she was worried so she said I had to talk to the dr. Fine I did that and he said as long as its not red or bluish and I am not running fever then I will be ok. Ugh So has anyone else had this? Now I am worried I will have bad scars also I am worried about the holes in my tummy :tt2: the nurse said I should go to see a dr here in town before thursday. I wish my dr was a more normal dr that cared more.. hes very odd. So back to my question has this happened to anyone else... 10 days post op open woundswith puss?

:tt2: im going to drop by and check it out

well for me it was after I lost all of my weight and then slowly gained it back then I spent a whole year loosing and gaining..I said I should not be dealing with this at 24 yrs old so I decided to have the surgery and save myself years of problems :thumbup:

azoreangal- I noticed that we had surgery 1 day apart.. we almost have the same start weight and the same goal weight and we both lost 16 pounds so far :thumbup: I thought that was funny.

OK I am 8 days out and Im feeling pretty good. This morning I got up and the scale did not move. That is very odd since I consume maximum 300 cal a day and before the surgery I lost a steady 1 pound a day and I was consuming a lot more liquids than I am now. So I decided to go ahead and try to do my exercise machine. So far I did 15 mins on it and yes my port was hurting but I stopped and will try again later I want to do this 100 % and I want the weight gone I am starving all the time sooo hungry since the surgery. I am dreaming of next wednesday when I can start my mushie diet :tongue2: yum I go to the dr on the 31st for my checkup so I hope all is well

id say a person with a tan always looks better and more thin :biggrin:

well Ive been losing a pound a day but Im still on the liquid diet. Dont weigh yourself for a few days after the surgery because you will have all those fluids and gas that you will most likely weigh more.

ah just ignore it my dr did the same thing he said i probably wouldnt be happy with the band blah blah if you did ur reserch an you want the band then tell him no i want the band... thats wat i did even in the phyc eval they tried to say he was not going to approve me for the band because i like chocolate loooooooooooool i laughed and said listen im getting the band if you dont want to approve the eval for it or if my dr wants to do the bypass instead i will just see a new dr then and still get the band. now i am post op for 6 days and doing great so you know how that went lol

I dreamed of donuts the other night yummy I dream of food all the time :tongue2: yum yum... well vicki not much.. I am not getting any of the protein I am supposed to get I am just sick of the protein drinks I average 4 ounces a day my calorie intake is very low. Im trying though I just really am ready for food I mean its been 17 days since I ate anything

im 5 days out but on my 2 week mark I will be allowed scrambled eggs, high protein oatmeal, grits with low fat cheese, dried beans cooked very soft, peanut butter, moist flaky fish, thinly sliced deli meat, cheese, vegetable and fruit with no skin and soft enough to mash wth the back of your fork. OK I typed exactly what my dr wrote for me

congrats I am 5 days banded I hope I am just as happy at my 2 week mark :eek:
