Hey Cav. I am soooo happy for you isn't it great to know that you did that without complaining just enjoying the beautiful scenery. I feel like I was there with you. Hope all is well, everything is great here. lost 40 lbs so far since August 28th. I went to Great Adventures (theme park) with my kids and friends and didn't complain once about my knee hurting!!! I was soooo happy and had an awesome day with my family. Take Care, Angcal26

You will, It took me a few days and now I sleep the way I did before. If you feel burning or indigestion try a pepcid ac or something like that. DOn't worry all in due time. keep your head up!!! -

OK, I was banded one month today and believe me when I say I was exactly where you are now mentally. You WILL feel better next week but do not do too much take it easy and talk about your experience with anyone who will listen. You took a very big step and you will take some time to digest (no pun intended) everything that you will be doing for the rest of your life. I didn't have too much pain only feeleing sore, but just take it easy and do everything your doctor and nutritionist tells you to do. get through the liquids and you will start to feel better when youare taking in full liquids. Just reach out to me if you need support, that's what we are here for. OK. I hope you have a family that will support you in every way, or some close friends too. That really helps, oh this web site is awesome too. All the best always, Andrea :cool2:

Just take each day at a time, when you get through the first day and stay on track you will feel better about yourself. You can do it. it is only for a little while, just remember why you made the decision to change your life and keep your head together. Good Luck, Andrea

hey I was banded on August 28, some gurgling too but make sure you follow the postop diet to a T and you shouldn't feel hungry. My Doc said eat every hour, you should be on full liquids now and make sure you get your protein in and let me know how you are doing OK. Take Care, Andrea

angcal26 replied to chicamam1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:thumbup:Hey Don't worry, put the faith in your doctors, and a higher power and you will be fine. Just stay positive. I was banded on August 28, 2008 and I have gone through many many emotions after surgery which is all part of the healing process. Just remember that you are so much stronger than you think. You will soon be moving around like before and don't do too much. Just take it easy and concentrate on healing, do everything that your doctors and nutritionists tell you and you will be just fine, DO NOT RUSH IT!! This forum has helped me soooooo much. I feel great mentally and am strating to look better too. Started at 308 lbs and weighed today at 279 Very pleased!!!! Keep in touch OK and All the best, always Andrea -
It tastes better than regular yogurt and is thicker in consistency, try it it is very good and is full of protein. Check with a local health food store that carries it, they will tell you about it or just google it for more info.

HI cAROL i TOO WAS BANDED ON THE 28, DOING REALLY GREAT ON FULL LIQUIDS UNTIL sUNDAY ADN THEN BLENDED FOODS, I HOPE THAT I don't run out of ideas but if i do this forum will help with that. how are you feeling.
-
Me too my husband isn't too happy about that :smile: anyway, it is because you are probably in Ketosis (spelling????) that means your body is burning fat, just brush your teeth more often and your tonge too, drink lots of Water, it will pass once you start eating food and chewing. :smile:

Hi Queenbee: I was banded on the 27 of August, I will definately check those out hopefully they taste good Doing well lost 20 so far since I last saw the doc, on my scale anyway. WE just bought a new scale that tells you all kinds of things, how much Water is in your body, weight, BMI, some other stuff pretty cool. (Bed Bath and Beyond about $90.00, well worth it) keep up the good work and keep in touch with your progress. Take Care, Andrea :cool2:
