Lucky u!! i just re-read all my post-op material and i cant find anything that says when i can have coffee again! Thursday is my 1 week post op appt im asking him then... as there just so happens to be a SB in the corner! :thumbup:

Good one, I haven’t given it much thought cause I’m not thinking of food like that, for now my brain is set on food is fuel.. Yeah I wanted to smack my husband while he ate a BigMac & fries and I sipped on broth but in the long run I felt better that I know I physically can’t eat it and really don’t want it, I went through all this for a reason and after I’m healed a kids meal or a bite of mac will be all I need..

OMG belly dancing sounds like fun! But I would definitely wait till I was 100% healed wouldn’t want a stitch to pop while shimmying LOL:blushing:

Since surgery I’ve been walking around the home and yesterday we went to a park to walk around a lake for a about a mile walk. Today I attempted to do an exercise DVD, Walk away the lbs to be exact and did a quick 20mins workout that left me sweating but not overdoing it. After im a week post op I’ll see if I can work out a bit more vigorously but for now as long as im sweatin im countin it! Lol So what is everyone else doing? Maybe others can get suggestions as this is a integral part to our success stories!

ohh i started one too! :tongue2: Into the rabbit hole we go....

does anyone know when we can have coffee again?? I can use a small stabucks skinny latte lol

The shoulder and neck pain were the worse for me and finally this morning i can finally breathe some relief the pain is almost gone:blush: Hope all week2 bandsters have happy and healthy healing!! How are Week 1 bandsters doing?

i had a insignificant gain, but i weighed myself yesterday and i was 5.5 less than my surgery day. However I noticed my stomach bloatness reduced, I also agree with some to watch the broths/soups your eating sodium count..too much will cause some gain/water retention. I’m sure one night it all go away and I won’t be surprised if you see a -7+ on the scale.. Rapid Healing Dec 10th & Week 2 gang!:tongue2:

ironically enough i feel fine internally, i can eat w/o a problem i did eat my Soup a bit too fast and felt the discomfort asap.. if i can just rid myself of this neck/shoulder pain lol

Im +1 as well from the morning of surgery..so weird maybe its the bloat?

Congrats!!!:wink2:

what a difference a day makes! I feel way better today than yesterday, i actually slept last night and love that i was full this morning on 4oz of protein shakes lol Glad everyone is doing well..

My surgery went well, however im in some pain my shoulders and neck :wink:

Im glad to see 1st week banders came out great!:biggrin: Sorry been MIA, was in DIsney and trying to keep things at work in order before i leave.. Good luck to all week 2 Hotties!!! :biggrin:

OMG Im at work and im laughing..Santa is next to the star of david! love the diversity!! lol :frown: Holiday Hotties in the lead!! Woohoo!! :thumbs_up:

Dec 10 is my date! :thumbup: went today for monthly vist..was presented with new info surgeon does SIL(single incision) banding still a new process i rather not be a guinea pig lol Good luck to all December bandsters!

Congrats on your date! Im Dec 10th! We kinda have the same stats! My highest weight recorded was 325. Now im in the 280's.

My Doc has me on a 2- week liquid pre-op diet.. 2 Protein shakes a day and then a low carb dinner. Since my orginal band date was 10/08 i went through the "Pre-OP" diet stage :smile2: My Menu was: B-Atkins shake L- Atkins Shake D- Grilled chicken or Salmon with steamed veggies. Now I get to do it all over again day after Thanksgiving!:thumbup:

i don't think the name should be so specific to Christmas, Santa etc not everyone celebrates the same..Holiday Hottie represents the season w/o being so specific..also is gender neutral.

:w00t: that is funny! Welcome Pete!!! :w00t:

or "Santa's Vixens" :thumbup: lol
