2 months out and taking liquid tylenol for what? pain from the lap band surgery?

Thanks !!!!

Orea, how did your surgery go? Feel good after or was it pretty painful? Welcome back, good to see you again. :teeth_smile:

I have a question. My surgery is tomorrow. If you eat something, slowly and not very much of it, what will cause you to throw it up? When you throw it up is it the same feeling you get when you are sick with a stomach virus, or just food comes back up like if you belch?

weeee...its working now.

Are you allowed to drink Martini's?

When is your surgery date and ticker? I have seen you post alot, have you already had surgery?

My husband is retired Air Force. My blood pressure started getting very high the last part of April. My husband sent for a list of Dr's that take Champus Ins. My first appt. was with Dr Smith May 7th, I got Champus approval on May 14th. The Drs office took care of contacting Ins. and getting it approved. My surgery date is in 2 days ( Aug 4th). I have Champus Standard Ins....not Tricare.

I love the Low Carb Slim Fast Chocolate. Make sure its Low Carb.

I bought the Protein bullets, I like them. I bought the fruit punch flavor, not using them yet, waiting until after Surgery on Monday. My pre-op diet isn't a liquid diet. ( whew ) I can eat 3 meals a day, and I've lost 12 lbs so far since July 21st. Its a Low Carb, High Protein. Hang in there on your diet, it will be worth it.

thanks !!!

I click on everyones ticker and it will open up, I click on mine and nothing happens. I want to update my weight loss.

Thanks everyone for the sweet welcome. My surgery date is Aug. 4th. ( 2 more days ) A little nervous, but soooooo ready for this.

Oops....I must have missed the bean soup recipe, could you please send it to me Charlene? Thanks

Will someone explain how to update the Ticker? :confused2:

Hi...My name is Pj. I've been married to my wonderful husband for 39 years. We have 2 sons, ages 37 & 34. 2 gorgeous granddaughters, ages 8yrs & 12 months. I work for the Dallas County Tax Office, going on 13 years. I love my job very much. My hobbies are, MY GRANDDAUGHTERS, reading, scrapbooking, gardening. I'm fixing to add a new hobby to this list, which will be exercising. As soon as my band heals I'm joining 24 hr. fitness with my daughter-in-law. I quit smoking 20 months ago. Since then I have gained soooooooo much weight. I have a problem sticking to a diet, I do better when I have rules and guidelines I MUST follow. I would always say....I will start my diet tomorrow. Since my pre-op diet started July 21st I have lost 12 lbs. I have not felt well for some time due to this excess weight, which has caused my blood pressure to get very high. I don't have the energy I once had. 2 years ago, I took my granddaughter to 6 Flags over Texas, there is no way I could today. I want to feel better, and live to see my granddaughters grow up. I love swimming, can't remember the last time I put a bathing suit on. One thing I am looking forward to next summer is buying a new bathing suit, going swimming and taking my granddaughter to the waterpark. Good Luck everyone on your weight loss journey. I am so ready !!!

Will someone explain how to update the ticker? Thanks :wink2:

To all that is having surgery tomorrow...good luck !!!

Janet, I remember you mentioning that you were going to have a test done I thought on the 23rd of July. I never saw the results of the ultra sound. Now I just read you are having a biopsy? Were they not happy with ultra sound? You are in my prayers!!

Sounds Great !!!

Good Luck, will be anxious to hear how you are feeling after. " congratulations " too.

What is the purpose of doing the pouch test??

I'm sure once you get your fill you will have the proper restriction. Wonder why they wait so long to fill it, does it take that long for you to heal?

I'm in Dallas county also. Was 104 here today...soooo hot. When were you banded? My surgery date is Aug. 4th. 1 week from tomorrow. Good luck !!!
