Melody - - Hey I don't blame u at all!! I'm just on Day 6 from surgery and tried scrambled eggs on Day 4!! I was starving!! Major mistake!!! Major! Hurt soooo bad! Threw up!!! Scared the crap out of me!!! So I'm in the BIG chicken category now!!!! My Nexium still goes down fine, but I'm extra cautious about everthing now!!! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!!!

Kim (gordonfamily3) - - Hi! Thanks for responding!! I was just curious because my doc didn't mention anything about having one & it seems logical to have one to make sure your stomach (little & big part) is doing what its supposed to. Didn't know if I needed to ask my doc? Cool u work for your doc now!! THX!!

Diva- - EXCUSE ME for asking an inappropriate question on your thread!!!! You mentioned it in your post, so it just came to mind and I asked!!! FORGIVE ME!!!!!!!!

I was banded on Monday, 5-1-06. I'm doing fine with the fluids but am hungry. Well last night (4th day post-op) I tried scrambled eggs! I KNOW I KNOW STUIPID MOVE!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!! I hurt soooo bad after 3 bites, which I ate way toooooo fast!!!! I kept walking around the bedroom, hubby kept thinking I was gonna die (so did I) LOL!! I finally threw up....just once but it all came up even the hot tea I tried to drink with it to make it go down!! From my experience, please do as your doc tells you even if you think your starving!! It's not worth it and hurts like hell!!!!

Kim2BeHealthy - - Isopure is wonderful!! I absolutely cannot stand the protein powder and this was my only other choice!! Grape Frost tastes just like grape koolaid and Icy Orange tastes like a cross between koolaid and Tang. Glacier Punch is ok...would be my third choice! JanetC (Janet Cunningham who is a member of this site) is a distributor of Isopure now! So I get it for $2.50 a bottle all the time!!! :eek:

Hey I have a question? Does everyone get a barium xray following lapband?:eek:

Welcome Cmstant!! I'm a newbie to this site too!!! I joined 3-4 weeks before surgery. My surgery was Monday, 5-1-06. I'm feeling great and soooo glad I made this decision! You're weight loss is amazing!! Keep up the good work!!! What an inspiration!! :eek:

Melody, Did your doc tell you not to swallow Nexium whole? I'm on Nexium too but was told I could swallow it whole. I'm on another med that is alot bigger capsule that I have to open and sprinkle on jello/pudding but Nexium does fine!

Wade, I keep trying to view your video & it keeps going to the screen asking me to download flash player which I did. It said successfully downloaded but then I still couldn't view? What do I do now?

Wade, I downloaded the flash player but I still couldn't view the video?? Any suggestions?

Kabeerah - Congrats on your weight loss!! :clap2: You're off to a great start!!! You should be very proud!!! :bananadoggywow:

Chips & Salsa!!!!! Yum!!!!!

Wade - - How do I view your video??

I'm still pre-op (until Monday - May 1st!!!!!) but I absolutely LUV the Isopure clear RTD!!! It is pricey ($3.50 for a 20 oz bottle at GNC) but it is sooooooo worth it. Like Janet I like the Icy Orange but I really like the Grape Frost! They don't really have an after taste to me, which is weird 'cause I absolutely gag on the regular powder stuff. Icy Orange tastes like Tang & Grape Frost tastes like koolaid!!! :Banane33: The Alpine Punch is ok too, but it does have a little after taste! I've tried the Mango-Peach but it was too sweet for me. They have several flavors & right now GNC has buy 5 get 1 free!!!! :clap2: Janet & Mikie - - Thanks to your good words about Dr. Sewell in Southlake, that is who I chose for my surgeon!!! I'll keep ya posted on my progress!!!! Think of me on Monday!!!

YEA! YEA! I'm sooooooo glad Mexican food will still be an option! The other night my hubby & I went to Anamia's (Southlake TX - for you guys in the DFW Area) & I only had 5 chips with a LOT of salsa and a crispy beef taco!! Pretty good huh, even for a pre-op gal!!! No Margarita (which I love), just had iced tea! It was a struggle but it was tolerable because I still got to eat mexican food, just maybe not what I wanted to eat!!! hehehe I'm not supposed to be eating beef on pre-op, but I thought once woldn't kill me, especially since Dr. Sewell's pre-op diet is 3 weeks vs most drs 2 weeks. Hows that for reasoning? Kim & Molly - "Cheers" to having a Margarita occasionally!!! BTW - - What about popcorn???? BTW again - How do I get the selection of "smiley" faces to come up when I'm doing a quick reply? I only know how to do the "regular" one using : ) keys. Dumb me I know!!
